AegisAI: govern agents before they change the business.

AegisAI is a deployed control plane for enterprise agent fleets. It intercepts agent tool calls through an AI Gateway, applies identity, RBAC, policy, risk, and human approval controls, then executes approved actions through a broker with signed audit evidence.

Start here to see the working deployed product, not just the case study.

Product thesis

Govern agents at runtime

Architecture

Gateway-first control plane

Risk posture

HITL, RBAC, kill switch, audit

Deployment

Vercel + Render + Supabase

Monitor

Fleet posture, lineage, tool activity, gateway coverage, risk heat, and incident signals.

Govern

Identity, RBAC, policy simulation, human approvals, and execution tokens before side effects.

Remediate

Kill switch, undoable actions, frozen agents, incident timeline, and signed audit packets.

Evaluate the control boundary, not the screenshots.

The case study is intentionally falsifiable: reviewers can move from product behavior to code, tests, architecture decisions, and stated limitations.

  1. 01Open the live control plane and inspect fleet posture.
  2. 02Trace a side-effecting tool request through policy and risk evaluation.
  3. 03Inspect the human-approval boundary and bounded execution token.
  4. 04Cross-check the signed audit evidence, source implementation, and ADR.

Agent sprawl is becoming the next shadow IT problem.

Organizations are shipping agents into support, finance, analytics, content, engineering, and operations. The hard question is no longer whether an agent can complete a workflow. The hard question is who can prove what it did, why it was allowed, who approved it, what it cost, and how to stop it when it drifts.

Most teams optimize agent creation, not agent control.

Builder tools help teams create more agents, but they rarely answer who owns them, what tools they can call, when approvals are required, and how actions are audited.

Policy often lives in prompts.

Prompt-based instructions are not enterprise controls. AegisAI moves policy to a runtime gateway where decisions are explicit, inspectable, and enforceable.

Observability is treated as enough.

Logs and traces matter, but they do not stop a bad deploy or unauthorized refund. AegisAI combines monitor, govern, and remediate in one operating model.

Agent requests a tool

Every side-effecting call enters the gateway contract before touching GitHub, Vercel, Render, Stripe, or another system.

Gateway evaluates authority

Kill switch, identity, RBAC, action type, risk tier, and policy rules decide allow, approval required, block, deny, or frozen.

Humans approve high-risk actions

Deploy, financial, and sensitive actions are routed through HITL queues instead of being delegated blindly to an agent.

Broker executes with a token

Approved work receives a bounded execution token and is executed through typed connectors, then written to audit.

Audit becomes evidence

Each decision and action is traceable through policy outcome, actor, tool, risk, connector, and signed audit payload.

  • Runtime authorization before tool execution, not prompt instructions as policy.
  • Separate orchestrator, policy, broker, connector, and audit boundaries.
  • Use execution tokens for approved actions instead of long-lived agent authority.
  • Keep human approval paths explicit for deploy, financial, and sensitive data workflows.
  • Expose fleet-level posture and lineage so leaders can see agent sprawl before it becomes risk.
  • Design FinOps and observability into the platform instead of adding them after production usage.

Experience

Next.js control plane UI with Dashboard, Monitor, Governance, AI Gateway, Orchestrators, and Onboard screens.

Interfaces

FastAPI routes for gateway enforcement, control plane data, orchestrator triggers, and product modules.

Application

LangGraph website-build workflow, multi-agent orchestration, guardrails, RAG/vector memory, and execution broker.

Product

Agent registry, Agent Cloud posture, FinOps, audit export, policy simulator, Slack approvals, and kill switch.

Infrastructure

Supabase Postgres, Render API service, Vercel frontend, cron orchestration, notifications, and observability hooks.

AI Content Pipeline

Scheduled research and publishing workflow delivered through governed channels such as Slack and Telegram.

Stock Research

Weekday morning briefing pipeline with repeatable runs, notification delivery, and control plane visibility.

Website Build

LangGraph workflow: requirements analyst, UI design analyst, frontend engineer, backend engineer, and review/deploy gate.

Website deploy tools are intentionally forced through approval_required policy, proving the platform can govern real side effects.

Control plane over agent builder

I deliberately positioned AegisAI above individual agents. Enterprises already have agents emerging in many tools; the durable need is governance across them.

Gateway enforcement over passive observability

Trace dashboards are useful after the fact. AegisAI intercepts runtime action requests before side effects, so governance can prevent incidents rather than only explain them.

HITL for high-risk actions

Fully autonomous deploys and financial actions look impressive in demos but create unacceptable enterprise risk. The platform requires approvals where blast radius is high.

Simple deployment topology first

Vercel, Render, and Supabase keep the reference implementation deployable on a practical budget while preserving the same boundaries used in larger cloud environments.

Policy contract before connector growth

The platform treats policy, identity, and audit as the stable core, then lets connectors expand without changing the governance model.

Executive architecture across business risk, AI systems, and operating controls.

Dashboard, Monitor, Governance, AI Gateway, Orchestrators, and Onboard — each screen maps to a production concern: fleet posture, policy enforcement, approvals, and audit evidence.
