Overview

Compliance is a critical requirement in the financial sector, yet meeting regulatory obligations is often resource-intensive and complex. Reg-Guru is a lightweight retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)–powered compliance assistant built to make financial regulations easier to navigate. It provides contextual answers in real time based on collections of regulatory documents. Teams and individuals in banking and finance can use it to clarify requirements, reduce uncertainty, and save effort. It works in multi-languages and multi-jurisdictions. For start-ups, Reg-Guru offers tailored compliance checklists that simplify early planning. Subscribers also receive timely notifications on regulatory updates, keeping them informed as rules evolve.

Key Features

Document Collection

Reg-Guru maintains a public collection of regulatory documents and updates it regularly. All the documents are parsed and indexed automatically for better information retrieval.

Context-Aware Response

Based on the relevant information in the document collection, Reg-Guru provides more accurate responses compared to a pure generative language model. It supports multi-jurisdictional queries with ease.

Compliance Checklist

Reg-Guru supports the generation of a compliance checklist based on the chat contexts and any additional background information. Users are allowed to trace their progress in an interactive dashboard, mark completion of a checklist item, and flag urgency.

Use Cases

• Compliance officers at SMEs understanding complex regulatory terms
• Founders at startups getting an answer to their query about a specific compliance problem at their jurisdiction

Key Milestones

• Project was initiated as an MComp Capstone Project at NUS FinTech Lab
• A working prototype was demonstrated on the Pre-summit Day, UBRI Connect 2025, Singapore
