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 Standby Energy Waste Calculator.

  1. 01

    Generate aggregate waste report

    This capability creates a combined impact report for every device you list. It sums up the total energy waste, financial cost, and CO2 emissions for your entire collection of standby electronics.

  2. 02

    Calculate single device waste

    This capability calculates the specific energy waste for one appliance. It determines the monthly kWh usage and the financial cost based on your power rates.

  3. 03

    Fetch device catalog

    This capability provides a list of common electronics and their estimated standby wattage. Use it to see what devices are available and how much power they draw when idle.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Monthly Bill Reduction

Identify which specific appliances are driving up your electric bill so you can unplug them.

02

Carbon Footprint Analysis

Calculate the total CO2 emissions from your home office setup.

03

Smart Home Optimization

Determine if the energy cost of a smart device outweighs its convenience.

04

Bulk Energy Audits

Run a report on an entire room of electronics to see the total standby impact.

Automate a task

Put Standby Energy Waste Calculator to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Standby Energy Waste Calculator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.
