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 Time Difference Calculator.

  1. 01

    Calculate time span

    This capability calculates the exact duration between two 24-hour timestamps. It automatically handles cases where the time span crosses over midnight.

  2. 02

    Detect day transition

    This capability checks if a specific time period spans across a new day. It identifies if a duration crosses the midnight threshold.

  3. 03

    Summarize time difference

    This capability converts a raw duration into a clean, human-readable string. It turns time data into simple formats like 2h 30m.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Shift Scheduling

Calculate the exact hours worked for employees on overnight shifts.

02

Activity Logging

Determine how long a specific process or event lasted between two timestamps.

03

Transit Analysis

Find the duration of trips that begin in the evening and end the following morning.

04

Data Formatting

Convert long duration outputs into short, readable text for summaries.

One connector, every AI

Time Difference 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.
