The Control Plane
for Enterprise AI

One unified platform for your entire AI stack to govern, control, and orchestrate agentic AI entirely within your own network.

Ungoverned agents, models, data and tools pass through Xnode Cortx, where they are connected, built, orchestrated, observed and governed, and come out with policy enforced at the request boundary, a full audit trail, and spend attributed and capped.

  1. Principle 01Every request passes through the control plane.No model call, tool invocation, or data access bypasses governance.
  2. Principle 02Every decision is governed.Policies are versioned, reviewed, and consistently enforced across models, agents, and workflows.
  3. Principle 03Every action is recorded.Every prompt, response, decision, and tool call is captured in an immutable audit trail.
