Understand Custos in one minute

A short walkthrough of the problem, the three steps Custos takes, and what an accountable AI workforce looks like.

03The platform

Discover it. Contextualize it. Optimize it.

Most tools see one slice: a registry, a gateway, a trace. Custos ties every agent, MCP and model to its owner, its cost and the business process it serves, then shows what to change.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Read-only connectors to AI platforms, cloud accounts and billing, plus optional collectors for laptops, servers and IDEs, inventory every AI asset, approved or not.

  2. 02

    Contextualize

    Custos reads how agents and MCPs call each other and links them into named business workflows, each with an owner and a cost.

  3. 03

    Measure

    Cost, performance and business value at the workflow level, not only per model, with the bottleneck link pinpointed.

  4. 04

    Optimize

    Evidence-backed fixes, each with estimated savings and a confidence score. A cheaper model is suggested only after a quality check holds.

  5. 05

    Govern and approve

    Owners, policies, budgets and drift alerts. Every change goes to its owner for approval and lands in the audit trail.

Human in the loop on every change. Custos recommends; the owner decides. It never acts on its own, and every approved change is re-measured.

04Walkthrough

From raw telemetry to actionable ROI

One business process, followed end to end. Watch Custos turn usage data into a change the owner can approve.

What sets Custos apart

Duplicate agent detection

Automatically identifies redundant agents and overlapping workflows across departments to eliminate duplicated API spend.

Broken dependency chain detection

Pinpoints bottleneck links and failing dependencies across multi-agent chains before business processes break.

Value-driven retirement pipeline

Safely decommissions low-value, idle, or ownerless agents through a governed approval workflow.

Only 21% of enterprises have a formal process for decommissioning AI agents.2

Six families of recommendations

Not every recommendation is measured in money. Some are measured in time, a rate or a score.

  1. 01

    Cost and spend efficiency

    Lower cost per task without touching correctness.

  2. 02

    Execution and workflow efficiency

    Fewer steps, less latency, same outcome.

  3. 03

    Quality, safety and accuracy

    A cheaper or faster path must not degrade output.

  4. 04

    Security, compliance and data governance

    Keep sensitive data and access under control.

  5. 05

    Anomaly and budget monitoring

    Catch abnormal spend early and explain why.

  6. 06

    Business value and portfolio

    Decide which agents deserve more, less or no investment.

06Trust

Enterprise-grade governance and compliance

  • Least-privilege, read-only access

    Connects via metadata APIs without requiring write permissions to core production systems.

  • Metadata-only processing

    Analyzes usage and spend metrics without ever inspecting raw prompts or sensitive customer payload data.

  • Compliance-ready audit trails

    Every decision lands in the audit trail, designed to support SOC 2 Type II and EU AI Act requirements.
