Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

01

Onboarding a New Candidate

You can ask the AI to create a new candidate profile and immediately link them to open jobs.

Reviewing Interview Performance

Instead of digging through emails, you ask the AI to list and summarize the latest interview feedback for a specific candidate.

03

Checking Pipeline Health

You ask the AI to list all applications for a department to see how many candidates are stuck in a certain stage.

04

Finding Internal Contacts

You need to know who the hiring manager is for a specific department; the AI retrieves the directory information.

One connector, every AI

Ashby works with the most popular AI clients.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Ashby to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
