Apply AI to the investigations you already know how to run.
Highlights
- CLEAR Investigate uses AI to automate repetitive investigative tasks and surface relevant findings faster.
- AI-powered connection tools identify complex relationships between individuals and entities in minutes.
- Automatic audit trails provide defensible documentation for court, regulatory, and compliance reviews.
If you’ve spent time running searches in CLEAR, you know the rhythm: enter a name, pull a report, comb through results, cross-reference a source, run another search. It works, but it takes time. And in fast-moving investigations, time is rarely on your side.
CLEAR Investigate doesn’t change the platform you rely on. It adds an AI layer that handles the repetitive, time-intensive parts of that rhythm automatically so there is more focus on the analysis that requires your judgment.

What CLEAR Investigate handles for you
From search to answers — in a single question
The most immediate change you’ll notice: instead of building a search from scratch, you just ask your question in plain language.
Ask “What can you tell me about this individual’s business interests and associates?” and CLEAR Investigate’s AI agent gets to work. It runs person searches, pulls business reports, checks for adverse media and sanctions, traces connections between associates — and surfaces findings that are directly relevant to your question. You don’t have to map out the search sequence yourself.
For existing CLEAR users, this removes a significant cognitive load: the agent anticipates the natural next steps in an investigation and takes them, so you’re reviewing results rather than planning queries.
Connections you might have missed, surfaced automatically
CLEAR’s data has always been comprehensive. The challenge is knowing which threads to pull. CLEAR Investigate’s Connections tools — including Associate Analytics, Graphical Display, and Company Family Tree — are now part of what the AI runs on your behalf.
This means the agent can identify shortest-path links between two individuals (shared addresses, public records material, third-party connections) without you needing to manually triangulate across multiple reports. Relationships that might have taken an experienced investigator an hour of cross-referencing can emerge in minutes.
This is particularly valuable in investigations in:
- AML investigations, where understanding networks between parties matters as much as individual records
- Enhanced due diligence reviews, where beneficial ownership chains can be complex
- Fraud investigations, where the same actor may appear under multiple identities or business entities
- Vendor screening, where a supplier’s unknown associations may represent the real risk
Less time on data, more time on analysis
Anyone who uses CLEAR regularly knows the back-end of an investigation: taking findings from multiple reports, removing duplicate entries, assembling a coherent picture, drafting a summary. It’s necessary work, but it’s not the work that requires investigative expertise.
CLEAR Investigate handles this consolidation automatically. The agent resolves conflicting records, filters out irrelevant results, and delivers a direct answer to your question — not a raw data dump that you then need to interpret. The result is a cleaner, faster workflow, particularly for high-volume caseloads.
The same audit trail, built in from the start
For professionals whose work needs to hold up to scrutiny — in court, in regulatory review, or in internal compliance processes — documentation isn’t optional. CLEAR Investigate generates a complete audit trail automatically.
Every answer includes a traceable record of what the agent searched, which sources it drew from, and how it reached its conclusions. The full export includes your conversation, the audit trail of agent actions, and all source documents. You get defensible, citable outputs without any additional documentation effort on your part.
A workflow you already know, with AI built in
CLEAR Investigate is integrated directly within the familiar CLEAR platform — there’s no new tool to learn or separate login to manage. You can toggle between the standard CLEAR experience and the CLEAR Investigate experience, using whichever suits the task.
The Prompt Guide helps you get started with common investigative scenarios, and follow-up questions let you continue an investigation without losing the context of what you’ve already uncovered. Recommended next steps keep you in control of the direction while the AI handles the groundwork.
What CLEAR Investigate handles for you
- Conducting independent search and verification activities across multiple data sources
- Pulling adverse media, sanctions checks, and Global Beneficial Ownership data
- Identifying connections between subjects, businesses, and associates
- Consolidating results and removing duplicate or irrelevant records
- Generating a full audit trail and exportable case report
CLEAR is the answer
If you’re already using CLEAR effectively, CLEAR Investigate doesn’t change your approach — it amplifies and accelerates it. The data you trust is still there. The difference is that the AI does the legwork of searching it, connecting it, and surfacing what matters, while you focus on what requires your expertise.
Investigations that used to take hours can now move in minutes. That’s not a replacement for investigative judgment — it’s what frees it up.
