Empower your teams with AI agents, not legacy constraints.
StackBase turns approved enterprise workflows into governed, verified, AI-callable capabilities, so agents and applications do real operational work without bypassing identity, entitlements, approvals, or audit.
Teams burn hours on repetitive, high-volume work across legacy systems: reconciliations, exception investigations, compliance checks. StackBase lets agents take that on, safely and programmatically, freeing people for the judgment calls only they can make.
McKinsey estimates that 30–40% of financial operations tasks are fully automatable today: reconciliation, exception handling, data retrieval, compliance reporting. The bottleneck was never model intelligence. It was safe, governed access to the systems where that work actually happens.
StackBase is that access layer. Agents call verified capabilities with identity, entitlements, rate limits, and a full audit trail instead of an analyst navigating screens.
Of financial operations work is repetitive, rule-based, and automatable, yet done manually on legacy screens, business hours only, one task at a time.
One governed agent runs the same workflows across every entity and time zone, fully logged, at a fraction of the cost. Analysts review exceptions; they don’t retrieve data.

Today an analyst chases breaks across settlement, trade, position, and reference-data systems. With StackBase, an agent calls one approved capability: retrieves the evidence, respects entitlements, logs every step, escalates only when judgment is needed.
Agents retrieve, compile, and package regulatory evidence on demand, no analyst hunting across five systems to answer a regulator's question.
Answer "what does this change break?" before a line of code changes, with a full dependency trace for tech risk and audit committees.
Payment exceptions, onboarding blockers, KYC status checks: routed to agents first, escalated to humans only when judgment is required.
Legacy means the in-house software that actually runs the enterprise: at a large bank, thousands of internally built applications with no APIs, no MCP servers, no AI access. They cannot simply be replaced. The challenge is making them work with what comes next.
Behavior is scattered across apps, data flows and workflows. You can’t safely automate what you can’t map.
Agents need governed access to live systems, not brittle screen-scraping or shared admin logins that bypass every control.
Business logic is trapped in millions of lines of code. No one can say with confidence what a system change will break.
StackBase builds a verified understanding of how your systems work, then serves governed capabilities to developers and agents. Your systems never change.
Builds a deep understanding of how each system works: assets, behavior, workflows, without modifying or disrupting anything.
Every capability is continuously validated against observed system behavior: assured, not assumed, and stays current as systems evolve.
Verified capabilities are delivered through developer and agent-ready interfaces, governed on every call with a full audit trail from request to response.
Much of how the business runs lives only in people’s heads and clicks. StackBase learns from real work and turns it into a process map you can review, reengineer, and hand to agents.
Your expert performs the task as they always do. StackBase observes with permission.
The steps become a process map: reviewable, reengineerable, and for many teams the first one that has ever existed.
The repetitive work becomes a governed capability: programmatic, approved, audited.
Not RPA: observation is used only to understand the process. Agents never drive the screen; every call is programmatic and governed.
Real, reusable assets for in-house systems and vendor packages alike. Capabilities combine across applications: retrieve from one, enrich from another, reconcile in a third through one governed path.
Your legacy applications exposed as production interfaces that developers and approved agents call, hosted on the StackBase gateway.
What each capability does, the inputs it accepts, the outputs it returns, and its failure modes, reviewable by engineering and business owners.
Exactly which users, roles, agents, and applications may invoke each capability, inherited from your identity provider and applications, never invented.
Proof that each capability behaves consistently with the underlying system before it is approved, and continuously afterwards.
The technical, security, and business review artifacts your governance process requires before anything reaches production.
Every call, policy decision, input, output, and escalation: captured immutably, retained to your standards.
StackBase never drives the UI or replays clicks. Execution is programmatic, identified, and governed, not a brittle bot on shared credentials.
It does not just answer questions. It exposes governed execution capabilities that do real operational work.
It does not just wrap functions. It verifies behavior against the live system and governs every call.
Your systems stay unchanged. Capabilities are reusable assets, not one-off consulting deliverables.
Every call is identified, checked against entitlements and limits, then sent through a vaulted session. Governance is the path every request takes, not a setting you switch on later.
Built for regulated industries: banking, capital markets, insurance, healthcare, and government, where every access decision must be defensible.
Each caller maps to a target account via your SSO: no shared logins, no anonymous access.
Roles decide exactly which systems and operations a caller may reach, inherited from your applications and identity provider, never invented.
Secrets stay in the vault; sessions open just-in-time, fail-closed if unmapped.
Every call logged with an immutable trail: inputs, outputs, policy decisions, and lineage.
Built on software verification research, not prompt engineering: peer-reviewed work from Columbia University’s ARiSE Lab. It verifies what each capability may do, detects when system behavior changes, and keeps unapproved execution paths out of production.

Continuously checked, not assumed correct. The understanding of each system is always current.
Faithful to actual system behavior; drift is detected, not ignored.
Powers safe automation, compliance evidence, and enterprise-grade AI connectivity.
Every capability is delivered through your existing engineering review process, with a human gate at every step before it goes live.
Every capability goes through your existing engineering review in the tools your team already uses. No new workflow to adopt.
Technical, security, and business sign-off required before anything goes live. Human-in-the-loop is enforced, not optional.
Capabilities go live with enterprise controls active from day one. No capability reaches production without passing every gate.

StackBase is a governed execution layer that turns legacy enterprise applications into verified, AI-callable capabilities. Agents and developers call them through REST and MCP with identity, entitlements, approvals and a full audit trail, while legacy systems stay unchanged.
API generators wrap functions. StackBase verifies each capability against the live system, detects behavioral drift, and governs every call with identity, entitlements and audit.
No. StackBase does not drive the UI or replay clicks. Execution is programmatic, identified and governed instead of a bot running on shared credentials.
StackBase is built for regulated industries where every access decision must be defensible, including banking, capital markets, insurance, healthcare and government.
We are selectively partnering with a small number of Tier 1 financial institutions to shape the product. Bring one legacy workflow. We typically start read-only, in your environment, live in weeks.
