Why people use Onfido
Onfido for Automated KYC Compliance
This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent do the heavy lifting. You can just ask the agent to check the status of an applicant's verification and it will pull the data, summarize the results, and tell you exactly what's missing. You're moving from a manual workflow to a conversational one.
What Vinkius changes
You move from manual dashboard clicking to natural language identity management.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.
