> Deploy. Govern. Share. The Control Plane for AI Agents.

Agents are moving into production. Production requires control. Guild is the neutral control plane for AI agents, designed to work across all models and vendors. Identity is enforced, and access is controlled. Every action is auditable. Deploy safely. Govern centrally. Share trusted capabilities through the Managed Agent Center and Agent Hub.

## At a Glance

- **What**: The neutral control plane for AI agents — govern, deploy, and share agents across models and vendors.
- **For**: Engineering teams and enterprises running AI agents in production.
- **Key capabilities**: Governed runtime, model neutrality, full execution traceability, managed agent lifecycle, enterprise identity (SSO/SCIM/RBAC), Agent Hub.
- **Stage**: Series A, backed by Google Ventures, NfX, Khosla Ventures, Acrew Capital, Scribble Ventures, and Webb Investment Network.
- **Website**: https://guild.ai

## The Problem

Everyone builds single-player agents. Production demands multiplayer. Most agents today are isolated — confined to one workflow, one person, or team. They lack centralized governance, standardized execution, reuse across organizations, and lifecycle control. Every project reinvents the wheel. When agents start modifying real systems, that fragmentation becomes risk.

## The Missing Layer

Most teams are stitching together one-off agents and brittle automations. That works in demos. It fails in production. As agents begin acting on real systems, something has to sit between models and your infrastructure. Guild is that layer.

Every run executes inside a governed runtime that mediates all external tool access, enforces least-privilege permissions, keeps credentials out of agent code, and produces immutable, exportable audit logs.

Agents don't just respond to prompts. They trigger from pull requests, system events, webhooks, and schedules — and become versioned, reusable production systems.

Once governed, they can be shared. Agent Hub makes those capabilities discoverable and reusable across organizations, turning isolated automation into shared infrastructure.

## The Platform

Guild delivers the infrastructure layer for governed AI agents.

- **Governed Runtime**: Agents execute inside a secure runtime that mediates every external call, enforces centralized permissions, isolates execution by workspace and organization, and keeps credentials out of agent code, applying policy at the moment of action.
- **Model Neutrality**: Enterprise AI will not be single-vendor. Bring your own models and vendor agreements while enforcing organization-level model policies, cost controls, and usage visibility across workspaces, agents, and triggers. One platform for any model.
- **Full Execution Traceability**: Every run produces a complete, immutable record of prompts, tool calls, actions, and outcomes, with exportable logs built for enterprise compliance. If an agent acts, you can see exactly what happened.
- **Managed Agent Lifecycle**: Agents are published as versioned, permission-scoped artifacts that can be installed, promoted, rolled back, and reused — moving from one-off scripts to governed, shared infrastructure.
- **Enterprise Identity Built In**: Guild integrates with SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM provisioning, and role-based access controls, extending identity and least-privilege enforcement to autonomous software. Not just users.
- **Agent Hub**: A public, governed surface for publishing, discovering, and reusing trusted agents across organizations. Not just a marketplace, but a shared repository where capabilities compound.

## The Product

Built for one builder or a thousand teams.

### For Enterprise

Govern agents like production infrastructure. Autonomous software requires the same guardrails as any production system. Guild enforces centralized identity, least-privilege access, and immutable audit logging so enterprise governance extends to AI agents. Control what they can access. See what they did. Prove it. Deploy with confidence. Audit with clarity. Scale without losing control.

- **Execution Transparency**: Every agent run produces a complete, immutable record — prompts, tool calls, outputs, and outcomes. Built for enterprise compliance, exportable on demand.
- **Tracking and Metrics**: Track model usage, token spend, and agent activity by workspace, team, or trigger. See what's running, what it costs, and where to optimize.
- **Agent Catalog**: Browse, install, and manage agents across your organization. Version-controlled, permission-scoped, and ready to deploy — not buried in someone's repo.
- **Credentials and Permissions**: Keep secrets out of agent code. Guild mediates every external call through centralized credential vaults and least-privilege access policies.

Guild helps enterprises move from AI experimentation to production-grade systems with confidence and control.

### For Developers

Build agents like real software. Ship them like products. When agents move from demos to production, reliability becomes the bottleneck. Guild gives developers the primitives they expect: typed interfaces, versioned releases, safe execution boundaries, and full execution traces — so agents behave like systems, not scripts. Define typed inputs and outputs. Run via chat, API, webhooks, or schedules. Inspect full execution traces across model calls and tool actions. Version every change. Attach evals. Promote safely. Roll back confidently.

- **Task Initiation**: Agents trigger from chat, API calls, webhooks, pull requests, schedules, or system events — not just prompts. Define how your agent starts and what context it receives.
- **Code Editor**: Write agent logic in a familiar editor with full language support. Define typed inputs and outputs, connect tools, and iterate fast — no YAML wrestling.
- **Commit Flows**: Every change is versioned. Track what changed, when, and why — with full diff history, rollback support, and promotion across environments.
- **Publish Agents**: Package and publish agents as versioned, permission-scoped artifacts. Share within your org or publish to Agent Hub for cross-organization reuse.
- **Forking and Customization**: Fork any agent from the Hub, customize it for your team's needs, and maintain your own version — while still pulling upstream improvements.
- **GitHub and Workflow Integration**: Connect agents to your existing dev workflows. Trigger from GitHub events, post results to Slack, update Jira — agents that fit where your team already works.

Guild gives developers the runtime foundation to treat agents like real systems — versioned, governed, observable, and safe to scale.

## Community

The community turns agents into infrastructure. Agents, integrations, and workflows are published, versioned, permissioned, and continuously improved across organizations in Guild's Agent Hub. Example agents include: AI Code Reviewer, Python Migration, Onboarding Agent, Issue Deduper, Code Quality Analyzer, Oncall Agent, SOC 2 Compliance Agent, Pentest Agent, PII Log Cleaner, Test Case Builder, Documentation Builder, Root Cause Finder, and Prod Deployer.
