Guild lets engineering teams manage, govern, and share every agent in production — with security and observability built in. ## Run your agents like production software THE ENTERPRISE OS FOR AI AGENTS See, run, and optimize all your most important agents in one place. No rebuilds required. [Start free trial](https://app.guild.ai/) ## Businesses have an agent control problem. Everyone’s building AI, but most teams still can’t answer the basic questions. What agents are running? How much do they cost? Who owns them? And what happens if they fail? ### Control every AI dollar See usage and spend by agent, team, model, and provider. Forecast costs, set budgets, and stop unexpected overages. ### Know every agent running Identify and catalog every agent across your organization—wherever it was built and wherever it runs. ### Secure every connection Control what agents can access with scoped credentials, permissions, policies, and human approval gates. ## Manage all your agents in one place You can’t control what you can’t see. That’s why we built the first agent control plane to seamlessly run, monitor, and govern all your agents inside a single model-neutral platform. [Explore](/platform) ### Ship the backlog with Software Factory Specialized agents plan, build, test and review bounded work, then hand your engineers a validated pull request. [See Software Factory](/product/software-factory) ### Run any agent on any model Bring your own models and providers. Guild stays neutral, so agents are never locked to a single vendor or setup. [See the MCP Gateway](/product/mcp-gateway) ### Monitor everything Deploy tracing and evaluations to identify issues, create audit trails, and understand exactly what happened at runtime. [See observability](/product/ai-observability) ### Govern access and permissions Scope credentials, approve actions, and enforce policy so every agent runs within clear guardrails. [See governance](/product/ai-governance) ### Cut cost with Optimizer Optimizer finds cheaper models, leaner prompts, and unused tools—then tests every recommendation against your evals before you apply it. [See Optimizer](/product/optimizer) ## Software Factory turns your backlog into review-ready code Autonomously plans, builds, tests, reviews, and hands your engineers validated pull requests. Get set up with 100M free tokens on us. [See how it works](/product/software-factory) 50M free at signup · 50M more on setup ### Human approval Agents can prepare pull requests, but humans approve and merge. ### Bounded execution Loop limits and retry controls stop unproductive agent cycles. ### Sandboxed and traceable Agents run in isolated environments with governed repository access and recorded workflow history. ## Are you overspending on AI?

How engineers deploy Guild across support, triage, code review, and internal tools. “Our early work with Guild.ai has been instrumental as we expand how we use AI agents at Turo.” — Paul Velez, SVP Engineering — Turo “Guild.ai gives us the visibility and governance layer we were missing: a single place to manage how agents interact with our systems, what they can access, and what they cost.” — Jud Valeski, CTO — Sovrn “With Guild.ai we now have a structured way to deploy and govern these agents without having to build the management layer ourselves.” — Matt Blair, Head of Engineering — WorkWhile ## The latest from Guild - [Survey Says: IT Leaders Are Wrong About AI Security](/blog/agent-governance/ai-governance-report) - [Introducing Guild Software Factory](/blog/product/introducing-guild-software-factory) - [The AI-Enthusiast Trap: The Hidden Reality of Vibe-Coding](/blog/ai-insights/ai-enthusiast-trap) - [The AI Agent Management Gap Is Growing](/blog/news/ai-agent-management-gap) - [The Guild API is now public](/blog/engineering/guild-api-announcement) - [Software Factories, by the Numbers](/blog/developer-insights/software-factories-by-the-numbers) [View all articles](/blog) ## Enterprise grade security for your agents and beyond - SOC 2 Type 1 - GDPR Compliant ### Security and data privacy - No training on your data - Domain verification, SAML, SSO, & SCIM - [SOC 2 Type 1 compliance](https://trust.guild.ai) - GDPR compliant - Data encrypted at rest with AES 256 and in transit with TLS 1.2+ ### Advanced admin controls - Azure, Anthropic, Cohere, OpenAI, and self-hosted models - Knowledge verification settings - User-generated feedback on responses - Analytics dashboard for monitoring usage and responses - API access for building your own integrations ### AI expertise - Dedicated success team, priority support, and SLA - AI strategy consulting and integration guidance - Tailored onboarding and change management support ## Questions? Start here. ### What is Guild? 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. ### Can I use agents built with LangChain or CrewAI? Yes. Guild deploys agents built on any framework. The SDK is one way to build. Bring whatever you already have. ### How does Guild handle different LLM providers? Whether your agents rely on OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or local open-source models, they route through Guild's gateway. This allows platform teams to swap model providers, set automated failovers, or adjust rate limits without changing application code. ### How are credentials managed? Credentials are centralized at the organization level. OAuth connections, API keys, and service credentials are scoped per-endpoint, resolved at runtime, and never exposed to agent code. ### Can I see what every agent is doing? Yes. There are full session traces for every agent run. Every LLM call, tool invocation, and decision is logged and inspectable in real-time. ### Can I control agent costs? Yes. Usage dashboards attribute token consumption and cost to specific agents, users, and models. You can also set per-agent spend thresholds to prevent costs from surprising you. ### How do I get started? Sign up at app.guild.ai with GitHub, Google or email. Free trial, no credit card.
