This page compares Haast and Sedric. 

Haast and Sedric both do AI compliance, but they're built for different jobs. Haast is the operating system for marketing compliance: we review your marketing, content, and communications before they go live and monitor them once published, tuned to how your organization reads risk. 

Sedric comes at compliance from the other end. It grew out of real-time communications and call surveillance, and that's still where it's strongest.

What's the difference between Haast's and Sedric's implementation and set-up?

Haast’s implementation team, made up of ex-lawyers from top firms, works with your compliance leads and marketing team to encode your policies into rules, across your products, channels, and markets. Each rule becomes a single-purpose agent, calibrated to your risk tolerance. When you go live, your own team can see, edit, and version those rules itself, without raising a ticket. Every time you give feedback on Haast’s compliance analysis - it trains the system, which gets smarter with every review. 

Sedric is set up by connecting your systems, such as your CRM, dialers, and design tools, so content and communications sync easily. Your policies are turned into what Sedric calls controllers, and its compliance model is trained on them and sharpens as reviewers give feedback. 

How are Haast and Sedric different in terms of set-up and onboarding?

Once Haast is live, a dedicated Customer Success Manager onboards your marketing and compliance teams and supports the rollout as you add brands, markets, and users. Your team runs the system day to day, with Haast on hand as complexity grows. Sedric is well regarded for support, and its onboarding centers on connecting your communications systems and calls so monitoring can start quickly.
