Getting Started with NextNeural's AI Video KYC Agent: A Technical Guide

Why Do We Need Smart Identity Verification

India’s digital transformation has been much talked about. It has created unprecedented opportunities as well as equally unprecedented security challenges. According to the Government of India's Press Information Bureau, cybersecurity incidents in the country have surged dramatically, rising from 10.29 lakh in 2022 to 22.68 lakh in 2024, more than doubling in just two years. With over 76% of Indian households now connected to the internet, the possibility of cyber fraud is real, making cybersecurity a national priority.

Parallel to this, India’s identity verification infrastructure, built on Aadhaar and eKYC, has scaled substantially. In February 2025 alone, nearly 43 crore eKYC transactions were performed, growing almost 14% year-on-year, while overall Aadhaar authentication transactions crossed 14,555 crore cumulatively. 

The research forecast for the eKYC market in India shows strong growth, expanding from an estimated USD 26.3 million in 2024 to nearly USD 139.3 million by 2033, at a CAGR of over 20%. For banks, NBFCs, insurance companies, and digital platforms onboarding thousands of customers daily, regular digital verification processes are no longer sustainable. This is where AI-powered Video KYC solutions can jump in.

What the AI Video KYC Agent Does

The AI Video KYC Agent by NextNeural is designed to process recorded KYC sessions and determine whether they meet verification standards: combining computer vision, speech understanding, fraud detection logic, and API-first flexibility.

Core capabilities include:

Advanced Integrity Checks

• Multi-speaker detection: Automatically rejects sessions with multiple audio sources to prevent proxy fraud.
  
  
• Lip-sync verification: Detects mismatches between visual lip movements and spoken audio to guard against replay or manipulated videos.
  
  
• Noise detection: Flags and disqualifies low-quality audio environments that could compromise verification accuracy.
  
  
• Core KYC detection: The base identity verification logic that ensures essential steps are completed.
  
  
• Audio parsing: Converts and analyzes spoken responses for completeness and consistency.
  
  
• Full API support: Every feature is accessible through APIs for seamless integration.
  
  
• Cloud-agnostic deployment: The entire stack can be deployed on any cloud or on-prem infrastructure for full control over data and compliance.

Prerequisites:

To use the agent, you’ll need these API keys listed below:

• OpenAI API Key
• Replicate API Key
• Llama API Key
• Mistral API Key

Get Started:

1. Visit NextNeural (by Superteams.ai) and sign up.

Access may take up to 18–24 hours because of the verification process.

Once logged in, this is what the set-up looks like:

2. There’s multiple options to choose from, based on your requirements. In this blog, we focus on the AI Video KYC Agent.
3. To use these agents, you need to generate an API Key.
   
   • Go to Manage → API Keys
   • Click Create API Key
   • Save the generated key securely.

5. Navigate to Agents, choose AI Video KYC, and click Launch Agent.

6. Open Settings and add your API keys.

Now you can interact with the service via terminal or your backend — starting with a health check.

Step-by-Step API Usage

1. Check Service Health

curl -i https://nextneural-admin.superteams.ai/api/agents/kyc_agent/health

‍

2. Fetch Knowledge Base Projects

curl -L "https://nextneural-admin.superteams.ai/_api/knowledgebase/projects" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <API-KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" 

‍

The response would look like this:

[{"id":75,"name":"Database","description":"","created_at":"2025-12-16T09:58:21.309337Z","document_count":1}]                                                                        

‍

3. Create a New Project

curl 'https://nextneural-admin.superteams.ai/_api/knowledgebase/projects/' \                   
  -H 'accept: application/json' \                                            
  -H 'authorization: Bearer <API-KEY>' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
 --data-raw '{"name":"project1","description":"project for AI KYC VIDEO"}'     

‍

The response would look like this:

{"id":80,"name":"project1","description":"project for AI KYC VIDEO","created_at":"2025-12-17T09:03:45.969195Z","document_count":0}%    

‍

4. Upload Video Document

Keep the project-id with you; we need it in the next step.

curl --location 'https://nextneural-admin.superteams.ai/_api/knowledgebase/documents/upload/<project-id>/' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <API-KEY>' \
  -F 'file=@/home/vide_kyc.mp4'

‍

The output looks like this:

{"id":145,"title":"video_kyc.mp4","document_type":"other","created_at":"2025-12-17T09:40:44.860897Z","file":"https://prod-nextneural.s3.amazonaws.com/media/knowledgebase_documents","is_indexed":false}%                                                              

‍

Capture the document-id and file URL from the response.

5. Run the KYC Agent

curl -X POST "https://nextneural-admin.superteams.ai/api/agents/kyc_agent/kyc_process" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_name": "https://prod-nextneural.s3.amazonaws.com/media/knowledgebase_documents/video_kyc.mp4?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4",
    "document_id": 145,
    "force_reprocess": false
  }'

‍

Note: While passing filename, ensure there are no backslashes in the URL, or an error of invalid JSON would pop up.
