Description

BAND creates robust interaction frameworks designed for enterprise-level applications of distributed AI agents. The platform facilitates immediate, collaborative interactions among both agents and humans, incorporating a runtime control plane that upholds policies, defines authority limits, and ensures transparency across diverse systems. Additionally, BAND empowers developers, engineering teams, and leaders of enterprise platforms who are managing multi-agent ecosystems spanning internal infrastructures, SaaS solutions, and environments shared with partners. This support enhances operational efficiency and fosters innovation within complex organizational structures.

Description

FirstHelm serves as a centralized control plane for managing AI agents, acting as an intermediary between your collection of agents—such as n8n, OpenAI, Anthropic, CrewAI, LangChain, Microsoft Copilot Studio, or any custom agent through REST API—and the broader ecosystem. It not only regulates the permissions of each agent but also ensures accountability by logging every action and verifying it against established rules, including budget limits, prohibited actions, and visibility into costs and tokens per mission. Actions that are deemed costly, hazardous, or irreversible require human consent before proceeding, with any unattended approvals set to expire as a safeguard against inaction. Additionally, FirstHelm features live dashboards that allow users to guide agents in real time during missions, while also producing comprehensive audit trails and compliance documentation aligned with standards such as the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, SOC 2, UK GDPR, NIST AI RMF, and FCA requirements—encompassing 38 controls that are evaluated in real-time based on your own data. This innovative solution is available under a freemium model, is adaptable to various frameworks, and originates from the UK, underscoring its commitment to regulatory compliance and user empowerment. With its user-friendly interface and robust functionality, FirstHelm aims to enhance the management and oversight of AI-driven operations.
