Control & trust
Which AI agent platforms can be self hosted or run in your own VPC?
If the agent cannot run inside your boundary, most of the market is already out. Of 946 vendors, 417 document full deployment control, covering options such as dedicated cloud, virtual private cloud, on premise, hybrid, local runtime or self hosting. 110 document partial coverage and 417 document none.
Every vendor in the index is assessed against the same 14 point taxonomy from public documentation, and no vendor pays for placement. Counts on this page were measured across all 946 public vendors on September 30, 2026.
How the 946 vendors split
No public evidence means the reviewed sources did not document the capability. On this index that is a statement about the evidence, not proof that the capability is absent. See methodology.
What counts as full coverage
Full coverage means the buyer can choose: a named list of regions offered as an option, a named customer environment such as a VPC, on premises or the customer's own tenant, or a documented selection surface. Partial means a one sentence residency option with no named region and no selection surface, a single tenant tier on the enterprise plan with no public detail, or a vendor that only says enterprise options are available. A single region that is disclosed but not selectable is None: the disclosure raises confidence in the grade rather than the grade, because a buyer with a different requirement could not get a different answer.
How to read these numbers
This axis has one of the widest lane spreads in the taxonomy, and it is a straight line to the buyer. Coding at 71 percent, multi agent platforms at 67 percent and agent infrastructure at 63 percent all sell to engineers who self host as a matter of course. Healthcare sits lowest at 11 percent, eight vendors out of 76, and that is the number with real consequences, since that lane carries protected data by definition. GTM follows at 16 percent and customer support at 22. If residency is a requirement, filter on this axis first and then look at capability, because doing it the other way round builds a shortlist you cannot buy.

Mastra deployment / data residency
Medium impactAny environment on Mastra's hosted platform can now get a Postgres database that accepts connections only from inside the same private network. It is created with one CLI command or at deploy time, placed in the environment's region and wired in automatically.

GitHub Copilot browser/computer use
High impactGitHub Copilot can now operate desktop apps on macOS and Windows, in public preview in Copilot CLI and the Copilot app. It reads what is on screen, clicks, types, scrolls and drags through workflows, including software with no API or MCP integration.

UiPath human approval / guardrails
High impactAdministrators can now bring their own safety vendor into UiPath's AI Trust Layer, in preview, so agent guardrails run under the customer's own vendor agreement and region. Azure AI Language, Azure Content Safety and Noma are supported, checks can be enforced across the organization, and each evaluation is recorded in the agent trace.

Gumloop agent capability
Medium impactUsers can now text Gumball, Gumloop's personal agent, over iMessage, RCS or SMS to start a task, get replies in the same thread and approve steps by text. It is a public beta that admins can switch off by role.

FLOWX.AI agent capability
High impactFlowX.AI 5.13.0 adds an AI agent to its Designer that surveys an existing app, drafts a plan from a plain language request, then builds or edits processes, screens, workflows and data types. It runs only after the builder confirms the plan and reviews each step, works on its own branch, and refuses destructive changes such as deleting a process with live instances.

Questions buyers ask
Does full coverage mean I can run it on my own hardware?
Not always. It means a documented option outside shared multi tenant hosting, which may be a virtual private cloud, a dedicated instance, a named region or a genuine self hosted build. Confirm which one before you plan the deployment.
Why is the GTM lane so low?
Because those tools are usually bought by revenue teams as hosted software and integrated with a hosted CRM, so nobody asks for a private deployment and nobody builds one. It is a demand pattern rather than a technical limit.
Is open source the same as self hosting?
Related but not identical. An open source project you can run yourself scores well here. A commercial product with an open source client does not, unless the runtime itself is documented as self hostable.
The other 13 axes
No single axis decides a shortlist. Buyers who care about this one usually check memory & state persistence and prebuilt agents, templates & packs next, or open the full taxonomy to see how the 14 axes fit together.
