Runtime authority for AI agents

AI agents act.
Who is responsible for the outcome?

Alethesis AI closes the authority gap and takes agentic AI from POCs to production. High-risk actions reach the accountable human before they execute.

The Problem

Four gaps every agentic AI deployment hits.

One bank. One AI agent handling complaints.

  1. Fee waived. Five stars.

    01

    Permissions ≠ authority

    Agents are allowed to act. Nobody authorizes what they do.

  2. It keeps refunding.

    02

    Drift goes undetected

    Agents change after launch. Nobody sees them cross their limits.

  3. Nobody owns the decision.

    03

    No authority exercised

    IT builds it. The business configures it. Nobody owns the decision.

  4. The audit finds the leak.

    04

    The cost of no control

    Losses show up in the audit, months later.

The Solution

Alethesis AI closes the gaps.

The Benefits

What your organization gets.

  • Accountability gap closed

    Always knows who decided, and can prove it.

  • Risk managed in real time

    Focuses human attention on critical risks only.

  • Oversight that creates value

    Turns human review into a measurable asset, and puts reviewers where they matter.

  • Speed without compromise

    Keeps operations running. Only critical actions pause.

  • Continuous oversight evidence

    Records evidence of oversight on every action, every day.

  • Decisions that reach the right person

    Goes beyond blocking: the right person decides, with context.

Why This Matters Now

Enforcement is solved.
Authority isn't.

Tools that control what agents can do have matured.
Infrastructure that governs who is responsible has not.

Agentic AI is in production

Agents take consequential actions in finance, HR, healthcare and operations. The failure modes are real, not hypothetical.

Regulators expect effective oversight

The EU AI Act requires effective human oversight for high-risk AI systems. Alethesis AI provides infrastructure to operationalize, route and evidence that oversight at runtime.

No evidence, no defense

When something goes wrong, you need to be able to show who reviewed what, when and why. Without a record at the moment of action, that evidence is hard to produce.

Integration & Deployment

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is Alethesis AI?

Alethesis AI is runtime authority infrastructure for AI agents. It holds high-risk agent actions before they execute, scores their risk and routes them to the accountable human. Every decision is recorded.

Who is Alethesis AI for?

Any organization in a regulated industry that wants to bring accountability to agentic AI decisions.

Is this an observability tool?

No. Observability tools log what happened. Alethesis AI governs what is about to happen. It intercepts each action before execution, scores it and routes it to the accountable human. Logging is a byproduct, not the product.

Is this a guardrails or eval framework?

No. Evals test models before deployment. Guardrails govern the whole system from inside it. Alethesis AI governs each consequential action from outside the system, with deterministic logic. It decides whether the action needs human authority before it lands. Runtime authority vs guardrails.

Will it slow our agents down?

No. It helps them move faster. Today, missing oversight is what slows agents down: when every action gets the same friction, teams pull the agent or skip the controls. Alethesis AI lets routine actions run. It brings in a human only when it matters.

Does it work with our existing oversight workflows?

Yes. Alethesis AI fits around the reviewer roles you already have, such as risk, compliance, HR and operations. It follows how your organization already assigns responsibility.
