Quick Start

Five commands to your first autonomous governance check. Every request below uses your real beta environment.

Step 1

Create your account

curl -X POST https://web-production-bdd26.up.railway.app/auth/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "username": "your-team",
    "password": "a-strong-password"
  }'
Step 2

Create your organization

curl -X POST https://web-production-bdd26.up.railway.app/v1/enterprise/orgs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Your Company",
    "slug": "your-company",
    "plan": "pro"
  }'
Step 3

Generate an API key

curl -X POST https://web-production-bdd26.up.railway.app/v1/enterprise/orgs/your-company/api-keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "beta-key",
    "scopes": ["govern", "audit", "risk", "scan"]
  }'
Step 4

Run your first governance check

curl -X POST https://web-production-bdd26.up.railway.app/v1/govern \
  -H "X-API-Key: gl_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "system_name": "my-ai-assistant",
    "behavior_description": "Customer-facing chatbot for insurance claims",
    "safety_manifold": "Must not provide medical or legal advice"
  }'
Step 5

View your audit ledger

curl https://web-production-bdd26.up.railway.app/ledger \
  -H "X-API-Key: gl_YOUR_API_KEY"

Python SDK Coming Soon

Integrate GovernLayer into your Python services in under a minute.

pip install governlayer
from governlayer import GovernLayer

gl = GovernLayer(api_key="gl_YOUR_API_KEY")

result = gl.govern(
    system_name="my-ai-assistant",
    behavior_description="Customer-facing chatbot for insurance claims",
    safety_manifold="Must not provide medical or legal advice"
)

print(result.decision)     # "COMPLIANT" | "REVIEW" | "NON_COMPLIANT"
print(result.risk_score)   # 0.0 - 1.0
print(result.ledger_hash)  # SHA-256 audit chain hash

Key Endpoints

The core API surface. All endpoints accept JSON and return JSON. Authenticate with your API key via the X-API-Key header.

MethodEndpointDescription
POST /v1/govern Full governance pipeline -- drift, risk, decision, audit, ledger
POST /v1/scan Quick deterministic scan (no LLM, instant results)
POST /v1/drift Behavioral drift detection via embedding analysis
POST /v1/risk 6-dimension deterministic risk scoring
GET /v1/controls Control monitoring and status
GET /v1/evidence/connectors Evidence collection connectors
GET /v1/compliance/programs Compliance programs and frameworks

Beta Timeline

One week from onboarding to full AI governance. We move fast.

Day 1-2

Account Setup + First Check

Create your account, generate API keys, and run your first governance check on a production AI system. Under 10 minutes to value.

Day 3-4

SDK Integration + Monitoring

Integrate the Python SDK into your workflow. Set up drift monitoring and compliance auditing across your AI stack.

Day 5

Review + Feedback

30-minute call to review results, collect feedback, and align on next steps. By Friday, full AI governance is running.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your question isn't here, ask us in Slack. We typically respond within the hour.

Is my data safe?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your governance data is stored in an isolated tenant database. We never use customer data to train models. The audit ledger is hash-chained and tamper-evident -- if a single record is altered, the chain breaks.
What happens after the beta ends?
You transition to a paid plan with a beta-exclusive discount locked in for 12 months. Your data, API keys, and configuration carry over seamlessly. No migration required -- your integration stays exactly as-is.
Can I invite team members?
Absolutely. Your organization can have unlimited team members during the beta. Each member gets their own credentials, and you control access via API key scopes (govern, audit, risk, scan).
What support do I get?
Beta partners get a private Slack channel with the founding team, daily availability, and priority response on all issues. For critical problems, we aim for a 1-hour response time during business hours.
What compliance frameworks are supported?
GovernLayer currently supports the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, SOC 2 AI controls, OWASP LLM Top 10, and MITRE ATLAS. We are actively adding support for industry-specific frameworks based on beta partner needs.
Can I use local LLMs?
Yes. GovernLayer supports Ollama for fully local inference -- your data never leaves your infrastructure. We support Llama 3, Mistral, DeepSeek-R1, Qwen, and Phi models locally. The platform intelligently routes between local and cloud models based on task complexity and your privacy requirements.
