Details

  • Kairos is an open-source (Apache-2.0) real-time risk and fraud decisioning platform positioned as an alternative to Sardine, Sift, Riskified, and SEON.
  • The platform features an agent-first architecture where coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) use MCP to read decision logs, configure workflows, and propose model variants for automated testing and deployment.
  • It supports a proprietary decision model called Grayson, which provides calibrated probabilities from plain-language questions and functions effectively with few labels and unstructured data, unlike traditional gradient-boosted trees.
  • Developers can self-host the platform using Docker or run it locally via CLI, with SDKs available for TypeScript and Python and integrations for Shopify and inbound webhooks from providers like Stripe.
