Powered by agentic AI technology, Experian Assistant offers a deeper understanding of credit and fraud data and provides criteria and proposals for adding; changing the weight of; or deleting specific attributes, data or features to optimize analytical models. Integrated with Experian Ascend Platform™, the solution greatly accelerates the modeling lifecycle, slashing model-development times from months to days and — in some cases — hours.
