The AI Control Plane
for the Agentic Era
The single control plane between your apps and the entire AI ecosystem. Discover shadow AI on your network, route to any model, compress context, enforce compliance, and audit every call — across every agent and team.
Or start by finding the AI you don’t know about — run a free shadow-AI scan, no account needed →
Find the AI you
don’t know about.
Your team is already using ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini — whether you approved it or not. Sherlock watches your network continuously and shows every device talking to an AI provider, with the estimated cost in dollars. It never reads message contents.
Find what you don’t know
Sherlock reveals shadow-AI usage on your network — live, per device, priced in dollars.
Govern it
Bring what you found under Kairos: routing, DLP, intent firewall, and 22 compliance frameworks.
Compress it & save
≥25% context compression on every call — the AI you found gets cheaper the day you govern it.
Free forever on 1 network · Unlimited during your 14-day trial · Metadata-only — message contents are never read
One command center for all of it
Discovery, dashboards, geolocation, live traffic, agents, automated jobs, and audit — this is what you actually see inside Kairos.
Every request flows through one governed gateway
Whether it comes from an editor, a script, an application or an autonomous agent, every call takes the same path out and comes back cheaper, cleaner and on the record.
Connect what you already pay for
Link your OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini keys, then point your editors, applications and agents at a single endpoint. Nothing else in your stack has to change.
Kairos governs the call in flight
Redaction, policy checks, compression and model choice all happen inside the request itself, in tens of milliseconds, rather than in a review meeting afterwards.
You get the savings and the proof
A smaller provider bill, one dashboard for spend across every team and provider, and an exportable record of every decision that was made on your behalf.
Keep Cursor & VS Code. Add governance.
Kairos is a drop-in, OpenAI-compatible gateway — so your team doesn't switch tools. Point your editor's AI settings at the Kairos base URL, paste a kai_ key, and every completion is instantly DLP-scanned, policy-checked, intelligently routed, and cost-tracked per developer.
- Set the OpenAI Base URL to
https://api.kairos-ctx.ai/v1— no plugins to install - Works with Cursor, VS Code (Continue.dev, Cline), JetBrains AI & any OpenAI-compatible editor
- DLP redacts secrets & PII before prompts ever leave your environment
- Intent Firewall, compliance frameworks & budget caps enforced on every editor request
Who builds with Kairos
The same platform serves a developer trimming a personal API bill and an agency assembling an authorization package. Only the volume changes.
Every model, a much smaller bill.
One key replaces the pile you were juggling, compression trims every call, and a hard cap means an overnight agent loop cannot turn into a four figure surprise.
Ship fast without losing the plot.
Give each team its own budget and guardrails from day one, so moving quickly never means finding out what AI cost you at the end of the quarter.
Governed AI across every business unit.
Command Centers isolate teams under single sign on, each with its own models, policy and spend, and roll up into one posture the board can read.
Evidence, not assurances.
Control mappings are enforced per request rather than sampled, and every decision exports as a signed pack an authorizing official can actually review.
Everything your agents touch, on one governed path
Models answer questions. Agents take actions, which is a very different risk. Connect a Model Context Protocol server to Kairos once and every agent that reaches for it inherits the same limits, the same redaction and the same meter.
Each agent carries an explicit allowlist of servers and tools. Anything outside it is refused before the call is made, not flagged in a log afterwards.
Bearer tokens, API keys, OAuth and mTLS are all handled at the proxy, so an agent can use a tool without ever being told the secret behind it.
A tool call is metered and recorded the same way a completion is, so the true cost of an agent reflects what it did, not just what it said.
Compliance Built Into Every Request
Most compliance frameworks tell you WHAT to do. Kairos does it automatically, per request, with proof.
"Kairos isn't a compliance checklist. It's a compliance operating system."
While a CISO reviews policies, Kairos enforces them — on every API call, in real-time, with cryptographic evidence your auditor can download.
22 AI/LLM compliance mandates enforced per request
EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, NIST GenAI Profile, OWASP LLM Top 10, Prompt Injection Mitigation, CMMC Level 2/3, HITL, C2PA, and 14 more — each mandate's specific controls enforced automatically before any data reaches the LLM.
DLP strip proof — auditable evidence per call
For every request, Kairos generates a tamper-evident record of exactly what data was stripped before the LLM saw it — which mandate triggered it, and a SHA-256 hash of the original. Auto-purged after 4 hours.
Prompt injection defense + insecure output handling
Input sanitization, system prompt isolation, instruction hierarchy enforcement, output anomaly detection — all enforced at the gateway before the LLM call is made.
Immutable audit trail — signed, tamper-evident
Every routing decision, DLP event, compliance check, and model call is logged with a SHA-256 hash chain. Download evidence packages in JSON or PDF at any time.
Your auditor downloads the proof
Every routing decision, DLP strip, compliance check, and model call is chained with a SHA-256 hash. When an auditor asks "prove it," you export a tamper-evident evidence pack in JSON or PDF — no screenshots, no manual log-digging.
- Tamper-evident hash chain
- Per-mandate control mapping
- Original-data SHA-256, auto-purged after 4h
AI compliance is a moving target. Kairos reviews all 22 mandates against authoritative sources every 90 days. When regulations update, so do the controls enforced on every API call — automatically.
One platform. Every capability.
No feature walls. Every capability ships in a single subscription priced by token volume.
Intelligent Model Routing
Keyword, regex, semantic intent, and cost-optimized routing rules direct every request to the right model automatically.
Context Compression
Kairos compresses context by ≥25% before sending to any LLM — cutting token costs without degrading response quality.
22 AI/LLM Compliance Frameworks
NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, OWASP LLM Top 10, CMMC, FedRAMP, and 17 more — enforced on every request, not just logged.
DLP & PII Redaction

Agents
A default Chat agent out of the box — connect your provider keys and chat in seconds. Build custom governed agents in a clean UI or conversationally with Build As You Go.
Semantic Intent Firewall
Evaluates the purpose of every interaction — not just keywords — to detect and block semantic privilege escalation.
Security Quarantine
Repeat offenders are auto-quarantined by granular rules — scoped by team, source, category, and severity, with warn, ban, or timed auto-release.
Automated Jobs
Describe your goal conversationally with Build As You Go, then let it run autonomously to completion — with live per-iteration cost, token, and compliance tracking.
Sherlock — Shadow-AI Scanner
A lightweight scanner detects unsanctioned AI usage on your network — by device, network, and estimated cost — then lets admins ignore or delete what shouldn’t count. Metadata-only; message contents are never read.
Hard Budget Enforcement
Set hard spend caps per API key, agent, or team. Requests are blocked — not just alerted — when budgets are exceeded.
Projects
Persistent workspaces with personalization instructions, accumulated context, and documents. Swap agents in and out — every chat carries the project’s context.
