Two questions land at the same time once AI reaches production : what is leaving your walls, and what is it costing. Both are settled in the same place — the point the traffic passes through.
Talk about your governanceYour AI agents keep calling what they already call. The traffic runs through a point you control : that is where you see, where you block, and where you count.
Six problems that show up the moment AI moves past the trial stage. None of them is solved by an internal policy : you have to control the traffic.
Teams wire up AI tools without going through IT. Nobody holds the list of the applications, models and providers actually in use.
The context sent to the model is often more sensitive than the answer : code repositories, client files, configuration secrets.
An instruction hidden in a document or a web page hijacks the agent. It runs someone else’s order with your access.
A loop that runs away, or a third party exploiting it, burns a quarter’s budget in a few hours.
Keys copied into scripts, shared between teams, never rotated. One leak opens everything.
Some providers reserve the right to use what you send to improve their models. The rule sometimes changes from one version of the terms to the next, without anyone realizing.
Nothing to install on workstations, nothing to rewrite in your applications. The traffic is intercepted on the way through.
Every call is tied to an application, a team and a model, by reading the metadata. Shadow AI surfaces on its own.
Ready-made rules for personal information, card numbers, secrets and sensitive code. You choose : block it, or mask it and let it through.
Quebec’s Law 25, GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA depending on your sector. Full audit logs and reports your teams pull themselves. The compliance team’s work is described on the Governance and compliance page.
The traffic never leaves Canada. Agent Libre’s infrastructure is hosted and operated here.

Input tokens, output tokens, cached tokens. Models with ten different rates. A price that changes without notice.
Millions of calls a month, and nothing tying them to a project, a team or a client.
Usage that swings wildly. The bill varies by 300 % month to month, and nobody can commit an annual budget on that.
Every call tied to a team, an application, a person. Without it, no useful conversation about cost is possible.
The trend across history, real-time alerts on spikes and quota breaches.
Per model, per provider, per team, per application. Knowledge you can rely on.
The best cost governance is still a cost that does not move. With Agent Libre you reserve throughput : the bill is fixed.
These two efforts are often handed to two teams, with two tools. They are looking at the same traffic.
A real list of what is in use, rules that apply on the way through, and a trail for the auditor.
A cost tied to whoever spends it, an alert before the surprise, and a number that holds for twelve months.
No code changes, no per-seat quotas, no reason to throttle agents to contain the bill.
We measure your actual consumption at your current provider : who calls what, what it costs, and what is leaving your walls. Free, no commitment, and the report is yours even if you go no further.
The first one you already know. Materials come in, they are transported, stored, transformed, delivered. Every step has a supplier, a lead time, a unit cost. When the margin tightens, you walk down that chain step by step, and you generally know where to look.
The second one moves information instead of materials. A price request comes in and becomes a quote. An order comes in and becomes a production order, an invoice, a confirmed delivery. A site report becomes a change order, or it does not. This chain runs through every one of your departments and it employs a large share of your people.
