Duco has introduced AI-powered rules, automated ingestion for any file format, and real-time assurance for T+1 settlement readiness in the UK and EU.
According to the firm, its new Agentic Rule Builder is the next step towards no-code automation.
The company’s Natural Rule Language (NRL) already allowed non-coders to create rules in plain English.
But as data and processes grow more complex, even no-code systems require training and become harder to manage, Duco notes.
The Agentic Rule Builder addresses this by letting users describe actions and outcomes in the same way they would to a colleague.
Using a plain English prompt, they can generate and refine NRL rules, edit specific sections, and apply consistent changes across multiple rules.
The tool’s agents map a plan for the rule, build and validate it, and render it in the interface for human validation and full transparency.
Early client testing suggested it can cut rule-creation time by half and speed up automation by 60-75 per cent, speeding time to market, the firm adds.
Building on Adaptive Intelligent Document Processing (which extracts information from PDFs, images, Word files, and emails) — this new form of processing learns from content and context, increasing resiliency.
Duco says that it has enhanced AI-Native data prep by extending flexible ingestion, enabling low training extraction for faster set up, and incorporating the Agentic Rule Builder into the solution.
According to Justin Hingorani, managing director, AI and Data Prep at Duco, AI-powered automation is moving beyond task support to shape how businesses operate.
This evolution is not just about speed or efficiency. It is about empowering organisations to respond to client needs and market challenges with agility and confidence.
Hingorani adds: “Intelligent automation and industry know-how turn complex post-trade processes into simple, transparent workflows. OCR and IDP were built for static formats.
“They break the moment data shifts. Our AI-native approach adapts in real time, making it the only sustainable path forward.”
Duco is launching the AI-native, no code T+0 assurance controls for clients in the UK and Europe to meet the challenges of T+1 settlement.
Steve Walsh, managing director at Reconciliation, comments: “The move to T+1 settlement is one of the most significant operational shifts our industry has faced in decades.
“We’re using critical lessons from North America to ensure the transition in Europe does not require additional headcount. Instead by cutting reconciliation time, firms also create a scalable, future-proof operating model for post-trade processing.”
James Maxfield, chief product officer at Duco, adds: “We are moving into an era where automation is not just faster or easier, but smarter and adaptive. Today, our AI agents support rule creation and reconciliation.
“Soon, they’ll help with anomaly detection, exception management and orchestration of entire processes — always with human oversight where clients need it. This is how firms can build resilience, cut complexity and stay ahead of compressed regulatory deadlines.”
