Willow AI Governance Control Plane

The AI Basecamp for the enterprise. Willow is the Agentic Access Platform for the enterprise, the AI Basecamp where every AI agent checks in before it touches a single system. Most companies are stitching together a gateway, a shadow AI scanner, a DLP bolt-on, and a manual approval process. Seven tools pretending to be one. Willow is the platform. One control plane for every AI agent, tool, MCP, skill, and plugin in the enterprise, covering identity, runtime guardrails, shadow AI detection, and audit, from the same place.
