Why tanyan.ai is different

The platform that keeps your AI workforce safe.

Most AI agents are built one at a time, with safety added once they seem to work. Every tanyan.ai specialist stands on one shared platform where the guardrails, the records and the cost controls are already in place.

Three ways to get an AI agent

A demo is easy. An agent you can trust with real work is not.

Developer toolkits and drag-and-drop builders are good tools — they get you to a demo. The difference is what is already in place when the agent starts doing real work.

Build it with a developer toolkit
Agent frameworks and code libraries
Best for
Teams with engineers who want full control
First demo
Days to weeks
Ready for real work
Months. Guardrails, change records, cost limits and review steps are yours to design, build and test.
Who keeps it running
Your developers
The trade-off
Maximum flexibility — and maximum responsibility
Assemble it in a low-code builder
Drag-and-drop agent and workflow tools
Best for
Quick prototypes and simple, low-stakes tasks
First demo
Hours to days
Ready for real work
Hard to get there. Rules often live in instructions the AI may not follow, with little record of what changed and why.
Who keeps it running
Whoever built it — often one person
The trade-off
Fast to start, hard to trust with work that matters
Put a tanyan.ai specialist to work
A production-ready AI worker for one line of business
Best for
Small and mid-sized businesses that want real work done, safely
First demo
Weeks — on your own documents, not sample data
Ready for real work
From day one. Guardrails, change records, cost ceilings and human review are already in place.
Who keeps it running
We do, alongside your people — and your people change the rules
The trade-off, frankly
Built for specific lines of business — not a blank canvas for every idea

01

Guardrails built in

Your business rules are checked before any change is saved — not reviewed after the fact. A change that breaks a rule simply does not happen, and you are told why.

  • Rules your people write and change, in business terms
  • Human review where judgment matters, built into the flow
  • A record of every change: before, after and why
02

Ready-made parts

Every specialist starts with the pieces most businesses need, already working together. New work is teaching, not building.

03

Industry standards

Small businesses should not be locked into something no one else understands. The platform is designed to work with open industry standards for governing AI agents, not around them.

  • [Named standards — confirm what is in place by launch]
  • Each business’s data kept separate from every other
  • Runs on established cloud services, not a home-grown stack
04 · COST GOVERNANCE

Few people watch what AI costs. We built it so you don’t have to.

A specialist that works can still run up a bill no one approved. On tanyan.ai, cost is a rule like any other — set in advance, not reconciled afterwards.

Every task metered

See what each specialist spent, on which task — not just a monthly total.

Budgets that hold

Set a ceiling per task or per month. When it is reached, the specialist stops and tells you.

Low cost by design

Simple steps run without the AI meter. Premium AI is used only where judgment is needed.

Grounded in published work

The ideas behind the platform are set out in a three-part paper series, and protected by a patent application.
