Help us build the control plane for AI agents

Identity tells you who an agent is. It doesn't decide what the agent is allowed to do. If your agents take real actions — call APIs, push infra changes, send messages, move money — Kynara is the authorization, approval, and audit layer that sits in front. Join a small group of teams shaping it, free.

What design partners get

Free, for real

Full access through the program and 12 months free afterward, at whatever tier you need. No card, no procurement — a design-partner letter, not an MSA.

A direct line to the founders

A shared Slack channel and biweekly working sessions. Your top requests get prioritized on the roadmap.

A co-built integration

We pair with you to wire Kynara into your stack — SDK or the MCP Gateway — and maintain the integration for your framework.

Compliance artifacts

Tamper-evident decision logs, policy export, and a SOC 2 / EU AI Act Article 12 evidence pack you can put in front of auditors.

Who it's for

The program is built for teams running agents that take consequential actions and have someone who owns that risk. Two profiles fit best: DevOps / SecOps teams whose agents execute remediation (agentic SOC, AI SRE, incident response), and regulated teams (fintech, healthcare, insurance) running internal agents under audit pressure.

✓ Strong fit

  • Agents take real actions with side effects
  • 1–3 agents in or near production
  • Built on LangChain / LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or MCP
  • A named owner for agent risk (platform / security lead)
  • Can integrate within ~30 days

Not yet a fit

  • Read-only chat / RAG Q&A only
  • Demo or hackathon stage
  • No real tool-calling or side effects
  • No one owns the risk internally
  • 6-month procurement to run a pilot

How it works

1

45-min scoping call

We pick one real agent workflow and the three policies that matter most for it.

2

Integrate in days, not months

We pair with you to gate that workflow via the SDK or MCP Gateway — first in a non-prod environment, then live.

3

Iterate biweekly

Over 60–90 days we expand scope, tune policies and approvals, and capture a concrete outcome — something you can point to.

4

Convert on your terms

Wrap up with verified audit, an optional case study, and your free year. Logo and quote are always opt-in.

Apply to the program

Tell us a bit about your agents. We read every application and reply within two business days.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes — free through the program and for 12 months after. We're optimizing for feedback and reference outcomes, not revenue, at this stage.

Do I have to be a public reference?

No. A logo, quote, or case study is opt-in and only if Kynara delivered real value. You can participate fully and stay anonymous.

How much work is it on our side?

A 45-minute scoping call, one workflow integrated (~30 days, we pair with you), and a 30-minute biweekly call. That's it.

How is this different from an identity product?

Identity platforms authenticate the agent — who it is. Kynara is the layer above: it decides allow / deny / require-approval on every action, guarantees an agent can't exceed the human who dispatched it, and keeps a tamper-evident log. See how Kynara compares.
