AIR raises $50M to help companies vet the skills and add-ons AI agents use

Why it matters

As agents proliferate in production, visibility and control over agent behavior—what they can do, what add-ons they access, what they block—becomes table-stakes infrastructure. AIR is building the guardrails layer that enterprises need to deploy agents at scale without security theater.

Key signals

  • AIR raises $50M funding round
  • Platform discovers agents running across a company
  • Continuously vets skills and add-ons agents use
  • Blocks unwanted agent behavior
  • Agent governance and security infrastructure play

The hook

$50M. That's what AIR just raised to solve enterprise AI's biggest liability: rogue agents with unsupervised skills.

AIR's platform can discover agents running at a company, continuously vets any skills and add-ons they use, and blocks any unwanted behaviour.
