The AI Control Plane
for the Agentic Era
The single control plane between your apps and the entire AI ecosystem. Route to any model, compress context, enforce compliance, quarantine misuse, and audit every call — across every agent and team.

}One API. Every major model provider.
Every request flows through one governed gateway
Your apps hit a single endpoint. Kairos routes, compresses, redacts, enforces, and audits — invisibly — then forwards to the optimal model.
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
Three Promises We Keep on Every Request
Not sometimes. Not on most requests. On every single one.
The Right Model
We automatically route every task to the optimal model based on complexity, cost, latency, and compliance sensitivity. No configuration. No wasted spend.
The Correct Context
Intelligent context compression ensures each model only sees what it needs. We summarize, prune, and isolate context — trimming tokens by ≥25% on every call without degrading quality.
Every Time
Real-time cost prediction before every inference. Immutable audit trail. Automatic compliance enforcement. Zero manual configuration.
How It Works
From zero to governed AI infrastructure in under a minute.
Connect Your App
Drop in our universal API endpoint — OpenAI-compatible by default, supporting any model from any provider including custom and remote LLMs. No code changes. Swap your base URL and you are live in under 60 seconds.

The Governed Gateway to the MCP Ecosystem
MCP is the next standard for agentic AI. 5,800+ servers. 300+ clients. Adopted by Block, Bloomberg, Amazon. But governance has been the missing piece. Until now.
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
152+ PII types detected and redacted before context reaches any model. Full strip proof per call with tamper-evident audit.
Pipeline Canvas
Visual drag-and-drop pipeline builder. Route, compress, govern, and observe every AI call with animated live traces.
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
Configure a full governed pipeline once, then let it run autonomously to a completion goal — with live per-iteration cost, token, and compliance tracking.
Hard Budget Enforcement
Set hard spend caps per API key, agent, or team. Requests are blocked — not just alerted — when budgets are exceeded.
Agent Registry
Single system of record for all AI agents — LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, or custom. Spend and token limits per agent.
Pre-Production War Room
Run 10,000+ synthetic simulations before deploying agents. Validate routing, compliance, and cost behavior at scale.
Governance-to-RL Feedback
Human-in-the-loop corrections become structured training data. Close the loop between policy decisions and model alignment.

How Kairos pays for itself — at 50M tokens/mo
25% context compression on input tokens saves real money across every model you use. Based on a typical workload split: 40% chat, 35% coding/analysis, 25% deep thinking.
* Assumes 70% input / 30% output token split. Model prices as of 2026-Q1. Compression rate ≥25% on input tokens only; output tokens are provider-generated and not compressed. Actual savings vary by workload.
Everything included — at every tier
Kairos is an AI governance platform. Compliance enforcement, security, and observability are the core value proposition — not raw LLM cost arbitrage. Context compression (≥25% input token reduction) and intelligent model routing reduce your provider bill as built-in bonuses on top.
