Arbiter

Before an AI agent acts, decide if it should.

Arbiter is the control layer for autonomous AI agents.

Enforce permissions, approvals, spending limits, and audit trails before agents touch your systems.

Every agent action passes through policy evaluation before execution.

Why teams adopt Arbiter

Rogue Agent Actions

Prevent unauthorized payments, API calls, and production changes.

Human Approval Workflows

Require approval before sensitive actions execute.

Audit Evidence

Generate receipts and compliance evidence automatically.

Runtime Governance

Control what agents can do before execution.

AI agents can act. Most organizations have no control layer.

Agent Sends Payment

Should it be allowed?

Agent Accesses Database

Who approved it?

Agent Modifies Production

Which policy allowed it?

Agent Calls Sensitive API

Was it within scope?

The challenge is no longer intelligence.

The challenge is trust.

How Arbiter works

Every action passes through a trust layer before execution.

Arbiter sits between your agents and the systems they touch — evaluating identity, policy, and approval requirements in real time, then recording immutable evidence of every decision.

The Trust Stack For AI Agents

1

Identity

Every agent is a first-class identity with credentials, scope, and provenance.

2

Authorization

Fine-grained permissions define what each agent is allowed to request.

3

Execution

Policy evaluation gates every action before it reaches downstream systems.

4

Evidence

Cryptographic receipts and audit trails for every allow, deny, and hold.

5

Settlement

Future Layer

Final attestation and reconciliation of agent actions across systems.

Products

Infrastructure for agent governance at every layer.

Governance Gateway

Policy evaluation before execution.

Agent Identity

Treat agents as first-class identities.

Approval Engine

Human approval for sensitive actions.

Evidence Layer

Receipts and audit evidence.

AI agents need trust infrastructure.

The internet has identity.

The internet has authentication.

The internet has authorization.

Autonomous AI agents need the same foundations.

Arbiter is building that trust infrastructure.

Dr. Sumit Birru

Founder, Arbiter

After building and operating his own medical practice, Dr. Sumit Birru became interested in a new challenge: how organizations can safely govern autonomous AI agents.

Working in an environment where trust, accountability, approvals, and auditability are critical shaped his belief that powerful systems require strong controls.

As AI agents gain access to data, tools, infrastructure, and financial systems, organizations need a way to determine what those agents are allowed to do before actions occur.

Arbiter is building the identity, authorization, approval, and audit infrastructure for autonomous AI agents.

Currently working with AI startups, agent builders, and autonomous system teams during the validation phase.
