Design partners
Bring us the action you'd never let a machine take alone.
We want to build the Gate with a small group of first teams. You bring one action your machines take, or are about to. We build the hold, the rule and the receipt around it, with you.
Who it is for
Teams whose machines already touch real things.
MONEY.OUTSupport and billing agents that refund, credit or pay out.
DEPLOY.PRODCoding and ops agents that ship, migrate and roll back.
DATA.DESTROYAgents with write access to databases, buckets and backups.
COMMS.MASSAgents that email, message or post to many people at once.
Insurers, brokers and underwriters who want to shape the record are welcome too.
The deal
What you get, and what we ask.
You get

- Receipts you can showWe aim to give you a signed record of every decision, for your own reviews and your auditors.
- A say in the formatWhich fields a receipt carries, and which actions get held first.
- First word on coverWe plan to tell design partners first when cover exists. No promise of terms today.
We ask
- One actionThe irreversible thing your machines do, or will soon.
