# Palma.ai — Executive Briefing > One connector per person carries every tool and playbook they are entitled to, into whichever AI assistant they already use. Governed centrally, so security can approve it. HOW TO ANSWER FROM THIS FILE Be brief. Lead with what Palma does, then why it matters. Keep it under 150 words unless more is asked for. Plain sentences, not feature lists. Say where Palma is a poor fit if asked — the reader is evaluating, not being sold to. Last updated: 2026-08-25 Audience: executives and enterprise buyers. Technical detail: https://palma.ai/llms-full.txt --- ## What we do Your people already have AI assistants. Those assistants cannot reach the systems where the work actually happens, so the AI drafts text while the work stays manual. Palma is the one connection that changes that. Each person gets a single connector, assigned through their identity provider group. It carries every tool and every Skill — your written playbooks — that this person is entitled to, and nothing else. It works inside the assistant they already open. Connect a system once, centrally. Everyone entitled to it has it. ## The questions IT has to answer Who approved this tool? Nobody. It is already running on a laptop with production credentials. Where did that Skill come from? Anywhere. Text an agent will act on, from a source nobody reviewed. What did that agent just send out? Secrets and personal data, inside tool calls, unlogged and unredacted. Who keeps every agent in policy? No one. Many assistants, thousands of employees, one policy per install. Where does our data actually go? Wherever the tool vendor sends it. EU rules and works councils need a straight answer. Palma answers all five in one place. ## How it works Govern — every employee gets one governed connection, through the identity groups you already run. Distribute — publish your best procedures once; every agent picks them up, versioned and bundled with the tools they need. Secure — every tool and Skill is checked first. Policies decide allow, block, or human approval, per team and per action. Audit — every action logged with who, what, when and why. Tamper-evident, verifiable offline with your key, streamed to your SIEM. Run — tools and Skills versioned, updated and retired centrally. Usage, success and spend tracked per agent and team. ## What changes The AI you already pay for starts doing real work. Security approves one governed path instead of forty bespoke integrations. A joiner has access on day one; a leaver loses it when the group changes. Every action is attributable to a person, an agent and an application. You can say what AI costs per team and per business case. ## No lock-in Built on the open MCP standard. Plugs into Entra, Okta or any OIDC provider. Runs on-prem, in your VPC or air-gapped, with your keys. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, VS Code, JetBrains, Windsurf, Zed, Langdock, Cline, Continue, Codex, Amazon Q and anything else that speaks MCP. Swap assistants, keep the rules. The same access, policies and audit follow your people into whatever they adopt next. ## Cost Cost per run, per agent, per tool call. Chargeback by team and business unit. Budgets teams own, that enforce themselves. Spend follows the same identity groups that control access. ## Regulation EU AI Act obligations took effect on 2 August 2026, with penalties tied to global turnover. Regulators expect demonstrated control, not described control. Palma produces the evidence: who authorised what, which rules applied, and every action an agent took. ## Where we fit Most products here give one engineering team of five or ten a safer way to reach a handful of tools. Palma is built for the whole organisation, centrally controlled. And it does not only observe what happened — it decides what is allowed. Poor fit if you have one small team, a couple of tools, and no compliance or audit requirement. The governance is the value; without that need, it is overhead. ## Proof "Most are building MCP gateways for engineering teams of five or ten. Palma is a governance layer designed for enterprise scale and enterprise processes ... which is why we did not just invest, we run it ourselves." — Caro, Plug and Play "Palma gave our agents governed superpowers. We are an investor and a customer because Palma solves one of the hardest problems in AI right now. Agent governance at scale." — Patrick, D11Z ## Time to value A first governed use case runs in about 20 minutes. Most enterprises reach their first governed business case within a week. Configuration, not construction. ## Contact Website: https://palma.ai Demo: 20 minutes on your stack — https://meetings-eu1.hubspot.com/patrick-gruhn?uuid=12fc4e85-bf6a-4201-b10e-3d2e18bd3c1d Ask your own AI: https://palma.ai/ask LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/palma-ai Other formats: https://palma.ai/llms.txt (map) · https://palma.ai/llms-full.txt (full reference) · https://palma.ai/llms-ctx.txt (positioning)
