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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through EV Charging Cost Calculator.

  1. 01

    Calculate session cost

    This capability finds the total price to charge a battery from a specific level to full. It uses your current battery percentage and the local electricity rate.

  2. 02

    Compare trip efficiency

    This capability calculates the cost difference between an EV and a gas vehicle for a set distance. It compares energy consumption against fuel economy and fuel prices.

  3. 03

    Evaluate charging strategy

    This capability weighs the cost of charging at home against the cost of using public rapid chargers. It helps you decide which charging method makes more sense for your budget.

  4. 04
