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.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Input Purchasing Optimizer.

  1. 01

    Check storage feasibility

    This capability validates whether your planned purchases will actually fit in your warehouse. It checks proposed quantities against your current stock and physical capacity.

  2. 02

    Get optimal procurement plan

    This capability generates a complete, cost-minimized purchasing strategy. It provides the specific quantities and suppliers needed to hit your targets at the lowest price.

  3. 03

    Simulate price scenario

    This capability tests how changes in seasonal prices or supplier discount tiers impact your total costs. Use it to run 'what-if' models before committing to a purchase.

Real work

What teams actually run
