What Nuroen is, how fast a first agent is, and how to start free.

What is Nuroen.AI?#

Nuroen.AI is an enterprise Agentic AI platform for building, governing, and operating AI agents over real systems — with runtime enforcement, progressive governance, and a full audit trail.

See homepage

How quickly can I build an AI agent?#

You can build an agent in minutes, not hours. Start from 108+ prebuilt agents across HR, IT, Finance, Manufacturing, and Marketing, connect systems, and deploy with governance built in.

Try ICARUS

What systems can Nuroen agents connect to?#

Nuroen includes 200+ connectors and components so agents can reach the systems your business already runs — with credentials stored in the tenant runtime vault, not in the client.

See Platform

How does Nuroen keep AI agents safe in production?#

Governance is enforced at runtime — safe by default, with approval gates, autonomy levels, budget limits, and a hash-chained provenance record for every run. Controls are not optional UI toggles.

See Why Nuroen

Is there a free way to start?#

Yes. Start free and scale when you are ready with transparent credit-based pricing. Credits are checked before AI usage so cost ceilings are known before a run starts.

See Pricing

Do I need a credit card to start?#

No credit card for trial · Governance on by default · Export audit anytime. Start free from Get Started — the trial line on Try ICARUS is no credit card.

Get Started

Platform

6 answers

Web Platform, Companion Mode, lifecycle, and Skills & RAG.

What is the Nuroen platform?#

Nuroen is not another AI app — it is an enterprise ecosystem for building, governing, operating, and scaling autonomous AI systems across your organization. Design and govern agents in the cloud. Collaborate and operate them from an agentic IDE workspace. Together they cover the full AI development lifecycle.

See Platform

What is the Nuroen Web Platform?#

The centralized cloud platform where organizations design, manage, govern, deploy, and operate AI agents at scale. Capabilities include Agent Builder, Governance, Operations, Skills & RAG, Connectors, Policies, Marketplace.

See Platform

What is Companion Mode in the Nuroen IDE?#

Companion Mode is an agentic IDE workspace for multi-agent collaboration — run parallel AI agent sessions, assign specialized roles, co-work in real time, and keep building while agents execute research, planning, documentation, and analysis in the background. Multi-agent collaboration IDE for parallel AI workflows.

See Platform

What does the AI development lifecycle cover?#

One lifecycle. Two Interfaces. Design and govern agents in the cloud. Collaborate and operate them from an agentic IDE workspace. Together they cover the full AI development lifecycle. Lifecycle stages: Design (Visual agent workflows), Govern (Policies & compliance), Deploy (Secure production rollout), Operate (Monitor & execute), Scale (Enterprise automation).

See Platform

How does Skills & RAG work on the platform?#

Connect internal knowledge, build retrieval pipelines, and create reusable skills that improve reasoning across your entire agent fleet — grounded in your data, not generic model guesses. Highlights: Grounded answers; Reusable intelligence; Semantic retrieval.

See Platform

How do the Web Platform and IDE work together?#

Nuroen combines a governed Web Platform for building and operating enterprise AI agents with an agentic IDE featuring Companion Mode for multi-agent collaboration — covering design, governance, deployment, parallel workflows, and scale in one cohesive ecosystem.

See Platform

Features & governance

9 answers

Default governance, five action gates, build steps, and operating controls.

How does Nuroen enforce governance by default?#

Restraint is the foundation — not a toggle. Every agent ships bounded, auditable, and cost-controlled from its first save. Capability rises from a safe floor, not an open ceiling. Finance, security, and audit get their veto by construction — so regulated teams deploy instead of stalling in review.

See Features

What runtime gates must every agent action pass before it runs?#

Scope, confidence, policy, approval, budget — nothing runs until every gate clears. One fail stops the action and hands humans the full context. The engine sits on the execution path itself — studio, code, schedules, and external systems all hit the same gates. No bypass, no silent failures.

See Govern

How does Nuroen take an agent from idea to a governed build?#

Define, Confirm, Validate, Build — problems surface before anything runs, not after go-live. You get a reviewable specification of skills, connectors, policies, and knowledge; approve scope and guardrails; then validation blocks broken flows and missing safeguards. Only the approved design becomes a running agent — with an audit trail on every version.

See Build

When does Nuroen require human approval before an agent acts?#

High-impact actions pause for sign-off — with full context, not a courtesy prompt. Approve, reject, or modify before anything proceeds. Every decision is logged for audit across chat, schedules, and orchestrated runs.

See Oversight

How does ICARUS keep sensitive work local while allowing frontier models by policy?#

ICARUS 1.0 runs on your infrastructure. Task-aware routing keeps sensitive work local and reaches frontier models only when policy permits. No false choice between residency and capability. Routine work stays in-perimeter; outbound routing can be disabled entirely in air-gapped estates.

See Try ICARUS

Where can Nuroen deploy for regulated and air-gapped enterprises?#

SaaS, dedicated, or air-gapped — same governance in every mode. Start in the cloud and graduate to sovereign deployment as risk demands. ICARUS 1.0 runs entirely inside your walls when egress must be zero.

See deployment modes

Can Nuroen orchestrate agents across CRM, ITSM, RPA, and custom systems?#

Coordinate agents across CRM, ITSM, RPA, and custom code from one governed workflow — with HITL where policy demands. Nuroen coordinates agents that live across your existing estate — in your CRM, ITSM, RPA, and custom code — from a single governed workflow, with schedules and events triggering agents and human-approval policy deciding what waits for sign-off across the entire orchestration. Agents you didn't build in Nuroen still inherit its enforcement rather than running unchecked — end-to-end workflows that span systems with one human checkpoint before any customer-facing action.

See Connect

How does Nuroen keep AI agent spend predictable at runtime?#

Cost is a governed property — not a billing surprise at month end. Runtime budget checks, pre-build cost envelopes, and task-aware routing keep spend predictable. Overruns escalate instead of silently billing, with per-agent or per-unit ceilings finance can sign off on.

See Pricing

Are marketplace templates still governed by my policies before they build?#

100+ prebuilt agents and templates for invoice reconciliation, ticket triage, SLA monitoring, and other repeatable patterns. Every template still validates against your policies, data, and connectors before it builds — reuse accelerates delivery without loosening guardrails. Partners can stand up governed proof-of-concepts in days.

Why Nuroen

5 answers

Safe by Default, runtime enforcement, and how Nuroen compares.

Why should enterprises choose Nuroen over other AI platforms?#

Modern enterprises no longer evaluate AI based solely on intelligence—they evaluate it based on control, governance, predictable costs, compliance, and trust. Nuroen was built for that reality. Every agent runs inside policy boundaries, every action leaves evidence, and every token spend is accounted for before execution—not after the invoice arrives.

See Why Nuroen

What does Safe by Default mean?#

Safe by Default beats Safe by Configuration. That principle is the foundation of everything that follows. Nuroen is not another prompt playground wrapped in enterprise branding—it is an operating system where governance, economics, and trust are enforced at runtime.

See philosophy

How does Nuroen enforce governance at runtime?#

Agents are Bounded: Every agent operates within role-scoped boundaries. Strict RAG prevents knowledge sprawl. Off-task reasoning is declined before tokens are spent. Agents are Auditable: Confidence scores, approval gates, and tamper-evident audit trails accompany every agent decision. Compliance teams get proof, not promises. Agents are Cost Controlled: Token optimization, budget ceilings, and intelligent model routing keep monthly spend stable—even as agent usage scales across the organization.

See enforcement pillars

What stages does the runtime enforcement pipeline include?#

Scope: Before any model call, the pipeline classifies intent and enforces task boundaries. It decides whether the request belongs to this agent's remit, uses approved knowledge sources, and stays within the boundaries your team defined at build time. Confidence: Every candidate response is scored against retrieved evidence and grounding quality. The pipeline measures how well the output is supported by trusted sources before anything reaches a user, connector, or downstream system. Policy: Governance rules are evaluated against the planned action—not configured once and forgotten. Autonomy level, blast radius, data residency, and organizational policy all must pass before execution is allowed to proceed. Approval: High-impact or high-risk actions are routed to designated approvers before anything executes. The pipeline holds the run in a pending state until an authorized person confirms—or explicitly rejects—the proposed action. Budget: Credit balance and per-task budget limits are verified before execution begins—not reconciled after the fact. The pipeline knows what a run is allowed to cost and stops before spend crosses the line your finance team set. Execute: Only after every prior stage clears does the governed action run—with scoped credentials, approved connectors, and the exact permissions this task requires. Nothing executes with broader access than the pipeline authorized. Audit: After every action, tamper-evident provenance is appended to a hash-chained ledger. Each record links to the prior entry so finance, security, and legal teams can verify the chain was not altered after the fact.

See runtime pipeline

ICARUS

6 answers

ICARUS versus RPA, build time, data sources, templates, and ROI.

What's the difference between ICARUS 1.0 and RPA tools?#

RPA replays fixed UI scripts on stable screens. ICARUS interprets intent, builds typed workflow graphs, grounds answers in approved knowledge, and governs side effects with approval gates and audit trails. ICARUS adapts when inputs vary; RPA breaks when layouts change.

See Try ICARUS

How long does it take to build an agent?#

Most teams ship a first governed agent in days, not months. Templates and NL workflow generation cover the first 80%; simulation catches connector and policy blockers before publish. Complex multi-system rollouts typically take 2–4 weeks with guided onboarding.

See guided walkthrough

What data sources can agents access?#

Any source you connect via the runtime vault: ITSM tickets, CMDB, CRM, ERP, data warehouses, document stores, and webhooks. Knowledge bases support strict RAG with mandatory citations. Agents never reach systems you have not credentialed.

See Platform

How is security and compliance handled?#

Deny-by-default RBAC, tenant-scoped secrets, hash-chained provenance, and autonomy levels L0–L4. Enterprise tiers add SSO, residency pins, BYOC deployment, and exportable audit packs for your own compliance and regulated workflows.

See Enterprise

Can I customize pre-built agents?#

Yes. Templates are starting graphs — fork, edit nodes, swap connectors, adjust routing profiles, and re-simulate before publish. Each save creates a new immutable version; production runs pin the version they executed.

See templates

What's the typical ROI timeline?#

Teams targeting high-volume triage or compliance workflows often see payback in 3–6 months — driven by hours returned and accuracy uplift. Use the ROI calculator on Try ICARUS with your blended hourly cost; figures there are illustrative, not a guarantee. Enterprise pilots include a guided value assessment.

Pricing & billing

7 answers

Credits, seats, Free / Pro / Max, annual billing, and when Enterprise fits.

What are credits and how do they work?#

Credits are Nuroen's billing unit for AI usage. Each model call deducts credits based on a rate table — checked before execution, not after. You always know the cost ceiling before a run starts.

See how billing works

What do seats pay for versus credits?#

Seat pricing covers your workspace, governance, and collaboration. AI usage runs on credits — metered before every model call, logged to a tamper-evident ledger, and never a surprise on the invoice.

See billing

What is included in the Free plan?#

For solo builders exploring governed AI agents. 1 work environment, Built-in org roles, 1 seat. Paid tiers add SSO, more environments, and higher seat limits.

Compare plans

How does annual billing save 20%?#

Switch to annual billing on Pro or Max and your per-seat price drops by 20%. You are billed once per year; the savings badge reflects the effective monthly rate.

See plans

Can I upgrade or downgrade later?#

Yes. Move between plans anytime from your workspace settings. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the next billing cycle.

See Pricing

When should I choose Pro, Max, or Enterprise?#

Pro: Best for growing teams that need seats + SSO. Max: Best for production teams prioritizing envs + RBAC. Enterprise is for organizations that need SCIM provisioning, unlimited environments, custom deployment (BYOC / on-prem), data residency pins, and a dedicated success team.

Enterprise & security

9 answers

Max versus Enterprise, air-gap, SCIM, secrets, SIEM, and identity.

When should we choose Enterprise over Max?#

Choose Enterprise when you need SCIM, unlimited seats and environments, BYOC or on-prem, a locked data region, volume pricing, custom audit retention, or a dedicated success team with a contractual SLA. Max is the top plan you can buy online.

See Enterprise

Can Nuroen run fully inside our network with no outbound egress?#

Yes. Air-gapped and on-prem deployment modes disable external model routing. Network profiles control egress per agent. Sovereign models such as Venus can run entirely inside your perimeter.

See Enterprise

Does Enterprise include SCIM?#

Yes. SCIM 2.0 auto-provisioning and deprovisioning is Enterprise-only. Max includes SSO and custom RBAC but not SCIM.

See Enterprise

Where are connector secrets stored?#

Connector credentials live in the tenant runtime vault — never in the control plane or client. Enterprise can point the vault at HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Azure Key Vault.

See Enterprise

Can we export audit logs to our SIEM?#

Yes. Enterprise includes audit export and SIEM integration, with custom retention options for regulated record-keeping.

See Enterprise

What support and SLA does Enterprise include?#

Dedicated CSM and TAM, 24/7 support, and a contractual uptime SLA — negotiated as part of your enterprise agreement.

See Enterprise

What is the difference between SaaS, dedicated, BYOC, and air-gapped?#

Shared SaaS: Fastest path to value. Governed agents on Nuroen-managed infrastructure with standard regional hosting. Dedicated: Isolated compute and storage for your org. Stronger boundary without operating your own stack. Bring your own cloud: Run inside your AWS, Azure, or GCP account. Your network policies, your egress controls, your audit scope. Air-gapped / on-prem: Zero outbound egress. Sovereign models such as Venus run entirely inside your walls when external routing must be disabled.

See deployment

Which identity providers does Enterprise support?#

Enterprise connects to the identity systems you already operate. Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace, Ping Identity, and generic SAML. Authorization is enforced on every API route — not just hidden in the interface.

See identity & access

How do I request a security pack?#

Use Contact sales and choose the security-pack request. The same form is linked from Enterprise as Request security pack.
