Fail-closed
Default deny.

Book a demoModels propose. HELM governs execution.
Govern every action. Prove every outcome.
HELM is the fail-closed execution layer between AI agents and real-world systems. It decides what's allowed, denies anything unknown or unapproved by default, and creates cryptographic evidence for everything that happens.
Cryptographic proof
Every decision is signed.
Every effect is verifiable.
Built for builders
Open source kernel.
Enterprise control plane.
How HELM works
A deterministic boundary for autonomous work.
Agent proposes
An agent or application proposes an action.
Policy is checked
Policy is evaluated against context and rules.
If allowed, execute
Allowed actions run in an isolated kernel jurisdiction. Everything else is denied or escalated.
Outcome recorded
Decisions and effects are signed and recorded.
Evidence stored
ProofGraph records and EvidencePacks capture the full trace.
Verify anytime
Anyone can verify offline with public proof.

HELM AI Company OS · Reviewed access
Govern company work, not just agent calls.
Company AI OS turns drift, requests, and operational signals into reviewed specs, approvals, Kernel-governed execution, and closure evidence.
Catalog governed work
Map agents, tools, owners, and policies in one operating layer.
Route before execution
Apply access, approval, and budget rules before work runs.
Gate external web evidence
Require source hashes, receipts, and EvidencePack refs before web Search/Fetch evidence informs specs.
Attach proof
Bind decisions, receipts, and effects to governed actions.
Close the loop
Review drift and update policy from observed outcomes.
Governed Work In Action
See governed work move from request to proof.
One company action enters HELM, receives a policy decision, routes approval when needed, and leaves behind a receipt.

Verifiable by design
Evidence you can trust and prove.
HELM proof paths bind decisions to receipts and EvidencePacks where a source-owned route exists. Receipts show the decision. EvidencePacks show the review chain for that route. The ProofGraph links each decision to the policy, actor, and effects behind it.
