Autonomy. Authorized.

Put AI to work. At scale

Heimel lets autonomous systems act in production without giving them uncontrolled power. Every consequential action is checked against current authority before it becomes real.

Move beyond copilots. Deploy AI workers with a boundary your organization can trust.

HEIMEL v0.2.0 is the current immutable public conformance release: 79 required vectors, formal models, a public reference implementation and signed release evidence.

The value starts when AI does the work

Copilots make people faster. Autonomous systems create a second lever: more work can be completed without adding people at the same rate. The economic upside is capacity, operating leverage and 24/7 execution.

Security is not the product. It is what lets organizations capture that upside without surrendering authority.

Klarna

$40m

annualized AI-assistant savings

Klarna reported that its AI assistant had engaged more than four million customers and was expected to deliver $40 million in annualized savings. The company also reported 11% lower operating expenses while 90% of employees used AI in daily work.

Airtable + Sierra

≈95 FTE

equivalent support workload

Airtable reports an 80% AI resolution rate and says its agent now carries roughly the workload of 95 full-time support agents. Human staff concentrate on the harder work while AI absorbs volume.

Flashfood + Decagon

90%+

inquiries resolved without humans

Flashfood says AI handles 100% of incoming support tickets and resolves more than 90% without human intervention, including API-driven refund and account workflows.

1. Give AI work

Move from answers and drafts to bounded execution.

2. Increase autonomy

Let agents complete a larger share of the workflow.

3. Hold authority constant

Keep consequential actions inside current mandates and constraints.

4. Capture operating leverage

Grow completed work faster than human headcount.

Why execution governance is missing

Principles have to become executable

The World Bank’s Global Trends in AI Governance describes the gap directly: self-governance can be vague, non-binding and lack effective oversight or enforcement; high-level principles often do not explain how they are implemented in context.

The report points to technical standards as a way to operationalize responsible-AI principles, calls for governance across the lifecycle, says ex-post enforcement alone is insufficient, and emphasizes human involvement, auditability, empirical evidence and continuous monitoring.

THE POLICY DIRECTION

Make governance concrete, testable and enforceable

Technical specifications, documentation, monitoring, audits and human involvement turn broad principles into mechanisms that can be assessed in practice.

THE EXECUTION GAP

Who is authorized to create this consequence now?

The report does not specify a consequence-time authority protocol. Heimel addresses that narrower execution problem: resolve authority fresh, return deterministic ALLOW / DENY / ESCALATE, bind the permit to the exact effect, and retain evidence of what actually happened.

Independent direction of travel

Do not trust the model. Verify the consequence

The Alan Turing Institute’s frontier-AI risk work argues that model evaluation alone is not enough: safety has to be treated as a whole-system problem, including the controls around what an AI system can actually do.

It points toward limiting agent access and authority, strengthening controls as authority grows, preserving traceability, and using independently verified checking mechanisms before actions are allowed to execute.

TURING DIRECTION

System-level control

Do not rely on model behaviour alone. Constrain the system around consequential action.

HEIMEL MECHANISM

Fresh authority

Resolve whether the exact effect is authorized under current authority immediately before it can occur.

HEIMEL GUARANTEE TARGET

No direct effect path

Consequential execution proceeds only through the governed boundary, with the decision bound to the observed effect.

More autonomy.
Not more uncontrolled risk

Models and agents can reason, plan and act. Heimel sits at the point where intent becomes consequence. It resolves current authority for the exact action and state, then allows, denies or escalates before execution.

01

Intent

Agent proposes real work.

02

Resolve

Current authority is fetched fresh.

03

Bind

Authority is bound to the exact effect.

04

Execute

Authorized work proceeds through one path.

05

Prove

The observed effect is retained as evidence.

Scale autonomous work across the organization

Open Heimel gives you local governed execution. Enterprise makes the same boundary operable across teams, agents and production workflows: authoritative policy and delegation, fleet-wide administration, enterprise evidence, assurance and deployment support.

The result is not less AI. It is more AI doing real work under explicit, current authority.

Scale autonomy

Run more agents and workflows without multiplying uncontrolled effect paths.

Control plane

Manage organization-wide authority, delegation and policy.

Veritas

Retain enterprise evidence, replay and attestation.

Assurance

Deploy across cloud, private, sovereign or air-gapped environments with conformance support.

Pay when autonomous work creates a verified consequence

Heimel Enterprise is aligned with production value, not AI activity. We do not price the core settlement unit by seats, tokens, agents or model calls. A verified governed consequence is an authorized action that executed and has evidence of the observed effect.

01

Scale work, not seats

The commercial model does not punish you for deploying more agents, models or automated workflows.

02

Settle verified outcomes

Settlement attaches to governed consequences with evidence that the authorized work actually occurred.

03

No consequence, no charge

DENY, ESCALATE, failed execution and unverified effect settle at $0 by default. Contract terms define the applicable verified-consequence rate.

Open remains open. Apache-2.0 local governed execution remains free and self-hostable. Enterprise pricing applies to the separate organizational software, service and verified consequence settlement.

Control the consequence, not the intelligence

01

Fresh authority

Approval cannot survive revocation, expiry or changed conditions.

02

Exact binding

A permit applies only to the state, action and effect authorized.

03

Fail closed

Missing authority or evidence never degrades into permission.

04

One-shot permits

Execution authority is never a reusable bearer token.

05

No direct effect path

Actions pass through the boundary or they do not happen.

06

Verifiable evidence

Decision, execution and observed effect remain attributable.

Give one AI worker permission to do real work

Start with one consequential workflow: payment, deployment, records, approvals, infrastructure or another action you want AI to execute autonomously without surrendering organizational control.
