The governed AI workspace

A governed AI workspace
your enterprise teams
will actually use.

Your teams are already using AI. The question is whether they're doing it somewhere IT can see. Cogniplane is a governed workspace where the skills are approved, the integrations are approved, and the things that should pause for a human do pause for a human. Adoption stops being an argument with the security team.

Your teams are already using AI. IT has no approved alternative to offer them.

Finance pastes spreadsheets into ChatGPT. HR writes org docs in Claude. Sales researches accounts in tools nobody approved. According to Netskope, 47% of enterprise GenAI users are on personal, unmanaged tools. Nobody's trying to cause trouble. They're just using what works, because there's nothing better available.

Giving everyone a model license doesn't fix this. The harder problem is everything around the model: which skills are allowed, which systems agents can reach, which actions need a human to sign off, what evidence exists after the fact. Those are company decisions, and right now most companies have no way to make them.

And the tools keep getting more capable. Unapproved AI that only pasted text is a different problem than unapproved AI that can take actions.

The answer isn't to block AI use. It's to give people somewhere better to do it.

How it works

Step 1
IT sets up what each team can use

Admins configure which skills, tools, and connectors are available to each team. That policy lives in the platform. Users work within it, they can't change it.

  • One tenant policy controls skills, tools, and integrations
  • Approved skills and connectors only, nothing self-served
  • Per-tool approval rules: auto-approve reads, require sign-off on writes
Step 2
Teams open a browser and get to work

No install, no CLI, no setup. Employees use Cogniplane like any other web app. They can research, draft, summarize documents, and run workflows with whatever tools the admin approved for their team.

  • Responses stream live, tool activity is visible inline
  • Sessions are saved and fully replayable
  • Generated files land in one place
Step 3
Sensitive actions wait for a human

When the agent is about to do something consequential, like sending an email or writing to a system, it stops and asks. The right person gets a notification. Until someone approves or rejects, nothing happens.

  • Reviewers see exactly what's being requested
  • The agent is frozen until a decision is made
  • Users can't bypass this. It's platform policy, not a setting
Step 4
Everything is logged

Every session, tool call, approval, and generated artifact goes into a replayable history. Secrets are stripped before anything is written to storage, so the audit trail is actually usable.

  • Full session replay: who did what, when
  • Auth tokens and credentials never reach the logs
  • SIEM export coming soon; usable now for internal compliance review

What you get

Workspace
Something employees will actually open

A lot of enterprise AI gets deployed and ignored. Cogniplane is a chat workspace. People recognize it and use it, and the controls IT cares about are already in place underneath.

  • Streaming responses, inline tool activity
  • Generated files collected in one place
  • Sessions saved and replayable
  • Works in a browser, no setup needed
Integrations
Connect the systems your teams already use

Cogniplane connects to the tools your teams already use. Admins enable each integration per tenant and decide whether reads, writes, or both are turned on. Writes still go through the approval gate, so nothing surprising happens in production data.

  • Notion — search, read, query databases, create and update pages
  • GitHub — tenant-wide app plus optional per-user authorization for actions taken in your name
  • Microsoft and SharePoint — browse and import documents directly into a session
  • Custom MCP servers for anything else, with the same governance and audit
Approved capabilities
Skills and tools the company controls

What each team can do is decided by admins, not by users. There's no plugin store, no self-service connectors. If it's not on the tenant policy, it isn't available in the workspace.

  • Admin-managed skills, with custom skill import and inline editing
  • AI-assisted skill improvement that learns from how the skill actually performs
  • One tenant policy per organization — enabled tools, MCP servers, integrations, approval rules
  • Policy lives in the platform, not in the prompt
Governance
Enforcement, not a PDF

Most AI governance today is a terms-of-use document and some hope. Cogniplane enforces what's allowed at runtime. Approval gates fire. Sessions stay isolated. The audit trail records what actually happened.

  • Human sign-off before consequential actions
  • Every tool call visible in the session thread
  • Sessions isolated from each other by architecture
  • Evidence of who approved what, when
For IT and leadership
One rollout model instead of fifteen pilots

Most companies have three AI pilots running in parallel with no common governance story. Cogniplane gives you one place to manage who has access to what, and one audit trail that covers everyone.

  • Single control plane for skills, tools, and access
  • Roll out team by team at whatever pace works
  • Usage and token cost visible across the org
  • Unapproved AI tools have a governed alternative to compete with
Runtime quality
We ship the model the way the vendor ships it

Most AI platforms abstract across models with a generic layer. You get breadth, but lose depth. Cogniplane runs each model through the harness its vendor actually ships and maintains. When Anthropic releases a new capability, Cogniplane users get it. There's no abstraction layer to update first.

  • Anthropic Agent SDK for Claude — tool use, streaming, and approval hooks as Anthropic designed them
  • Codex CLI for OpenAI — agentic runtime with workspace and MCP as OpenAI ships it
  • Model-specific behaviour handled correctly, not papered over by a lowest-common-denominator wrapper
  • New model capabilities land as soon as the vendor ships them, not after an abstraction layer catches up
Security
Designed for the security review

We built the security model first. Multi-tenant isolation. Short-lived credential contexts. Secrets stripped before anything is written to storage. We do regular review passes and ship the fixes; we don't put them on a roadmap.

Multi-tenant with row-level security
WorkOS SSO and RBAC
Per-session sandboxed runtimes
Credentials never exposed to the model
Secrets redacted before persistence
SSRF deny list for private and reserved IPs
Upload content verified against declared MIME type
Dependency audit gates every deploy
Full audit trail, SIEM export coming soon

Start with one team. Expand when it works.

The AI programs that stall are usually the ones that tried to roll out everywhere at once. The ones that work start small. One team, a handful of approved skills, approval rules you can defend. Prove it there first, then expand.

What a pilot looks like
Pick one department or workflow. We help configure approved skills and set approval rules for their specific risk level. By the end of week one, you have real usage, real approval decisions, and a session history your security team can actually review. Expand from there.

Questions teams ask before they roll out governed AI

If you want the technical detail behind skills, connectors, and approval policies, the public documentation goes deeper.

What makes Cogniplane different from a general AI chatbot?

Cogniplane is built for company control, not just model access. Teams work in a browser-based AI workspace with approved skills, approved connectors, human approval gates, and a replayable audit trail.

Can we limit what each team can access?

Yes. Admins define a tenant policy that controls which skills, tools, and integrations are available, and which actions need approval before they run.

Do actions require human approval?

When a workflow reaches a consequential action such as sending, writing, or exporting, Cogniplane can pause the agent and require an explicit approval decision before anything happens.

How does Cogniplane handle security and auditability?

Cogniplane uses isolated sessions, short-lived credential contexts, and secret redaction before persistence. Every session, tool call, approval, and generated artifact is captured in a replayable history.

You're on the list. We'll reach out about a pilot.

No sales process. Just a real conversation.
