How much does TectoAI cost?

No public pricing; sold through a demo request. The product catalog publishes no plans or prices, and the main site refuses automated fetchers.

Does TectoAI have SOC 2, SSO and role based access control?

Partial under the Agentic Index verification standard. TectoAI publishes some public evidence of security and identity controls, but narrower than the full set of SOC 2, single sign on (SSO) and role based access control (RBAC). Evidence basis: SAML SSO is named, but the compliance claims stop at alignment. The platform's institutional controls include SAML SSO, audit ready logs and WORM compliant storage. It states commitments aligned to SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR, along w. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Can TectoAI be self hosted or run in a private VPC?

Partial under the Agentic Index verification standard. TectoAI publishes some public evidence on deployment and data residency, but narrower than a documented self hosted or private VPC option. Evidence basis: One component runs in the customer's environment. Tecto Detector detects and redacts personal and sensitive information fully on premises or on device, as a browser extension or Microsoft Word add in, with no data leaving the customer's env. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Does TectoAI give you tracing and observability into agent runs?

Partial under the Agentic Index verification standard. TectoAI publishes some public evidence of logging or observability, but narrower than full tracing and auditability across agent runs. Evidence basis: The record shows that and where AI was used, not what an agent did step by step. The AI Control Room is a central dashboard of deployed AI tools and models that tracks vendor updates, feature releases and incidents, and it alerts on unautho.

AI governance for law firms and regulated organizations: find the AI tools people use, enforce AI policy per client and matter in the browser, and redact sensitive data on the device.

TectoAI sells an AI governance platform, branded Tecto, to law firms and other regulated organizations. Its product catalog lists five products. Discovery analyzes SSO and access logs to find the AI tools people are using, sanctioned or not. Matter Intelligence enforces AI usage policies in the browser, with client and matter level opt outs that block, restrict or allow a tool, controls on prompt content, data types and tool access, and immutable audit logs tying each use to matter, user, tool and timestamp.

Tecto Detector redacts personal and sensitive information on premises or on the device, as a browser extension or a Microsoft Word add in, so nothing leaves the customer's environment. The AI Control Room is a dashboard of deployed AI tools and models that tracks vendor updates and incidents and alerts on unauthorized agent action, tool misuse and data exfiltration. The AI Tool Library with AI Advisor is a catalog of AI vendors with security, privacy and risk diligence reports.

The platform governs AI that other products run. It runs no agents of its own, documents no API, and keeps an audit record of AI use rather than a per run trace of what an agent did. Its homepage names SAML SSO and states commitments aligned with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 rather than an attestation. Tecto's team also builds custom agents for firms, which is a service and is not graded here. The main site refuses automated fetchers, so this profile rests on the live product catalog, with the homepage read through search index copies.

TectoAI is backed by Y Combinator.

Agentic Index coverage score

2.5 / 14 capabilities · 18%

Integrations & Tool Calling	Partial
The connections read AI use or sit in its path rather than letting an agent act. Discovery analyzes the customer's SSO and access logs to find authorized and unauthorized AI tools, and enforcement runs as a browser extension across web based AI tools and assistants and as a Microsoft Word add in. No connector catalog, custom tool route or action framework lets an agent take authenticated action in an outside system, and the identity providers read are not named. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.ai (Discovery, Matter Intelligence, Tecto Detector)read 2026-09-25
Workflow Orchestration	Not documented
Tecto governs AI tools and agents that other products run. Its five cataloged products (Tecto Detector, Matter Intelligence, the AI Control Room, Discovery, and the AI Tool Library with AI Advisor) do not sequence steps, hand work between agents or run a workflow, and there is no orchestration surface. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.airead 2026-09-25
Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Not documented
Nothing maintains a retrieval structure over the customer's own knowledge. The AI Tool Library and AI Advisor sit on Tecto's own catalog of AI vendors and their diligence reports, which is Tecto's corpus, not the customer's, and the regulatory and incident feed is content Tecto curates. The industries page, seen only through its search index copy, says Tecto's team builds custom agents connected to a firm's internal knowledge, but that is work Tecto's people do as a service. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.ai (AI Tool Library + AI Advisor) and the search index copy of tecto.ai/industriesread 2026-09-25
Human Oversight & Guardrails	Partial
Configurable guardrails ship, but no approval step. Matter Intelligence enforces AI usage policies in the browser, with opt outs at the client and matter level that block, restrict or allow a tool with conditions, and controls on prompt content, data types and tool access. Discovery enforces policies for agent access and task control. These are constraints the customer sets on what AI may do; no documented mechanism has a person review or approve an action before it commits. Tecto also vets AI tools before a firm adopts them, which reviews a vendor rather than an agent's action. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.ai (Matter Intelligence, Discovery)read 2026-09-25
Security, Identity & Governance	Partial
SAML SSO is named, but the compliance claims stop at alignment. The platform's institutional controls include SAML SSO, audit ready logs and WORM compliant storage. It states commitments aligned to SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR, along with the EU AI Act, which says no attestation is in hand. Further security details sit in a trust center at trust.tecto.ai. SourceTectoAI, search index copy of tecto.ai (institutional controls) and trust.tecto.ai (checkpoint only)read 2026-09-25
Observability & Auditability	Partial
The record shows that and where AI was used, not what an agent did step by step. The AI Control Room is a central dashboard of deployed AI tools and models that tracks vendor updates, feature releases and incidents, and it alerts on unauthorized agent action, tool misuse and data exfiltration, as well as compounding errors. Matter Intelligence labels where and when AI was used within a case and keeps immutable audit logs tying each use to a matter, a user and a tool, with a timestamp. There is an audit record and alerting, but no trace of the steps taken and tools called in each run, and no first party page describes drift or hallucination monitoring. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.ai (AI Control Room, Matter Intelligence)read 2026-09-25
Memory & State Persistence	Not documented
Agents here carry no run state forward, and there is no memory layer. The audit logs and usage records Tecto keeps are an activity log, not memory. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.airead 2026-09-25
Deployment & Data Residency	Partial
One component runs in the customer's environment. Tecto Detector detects and redacts personal and sensitive information fully on premises or on device, as a browser extension or Microsoft Word add in, with no data leaving the customer's environment. Where the AI Control Room, Discovery, Matter Intelligence and the AI Tool Library run, and in which region, is not documented. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.ai (Tecto Detector)read 2026-09-25
Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs	Not documented
No agents or templates ship for a buyer to adopt. The AI Tool Library catalogs other vendors' AI tools with diligence reports, which is research on third party products rather than packaged agents that do work when selected, and the five cataloged products are modules of one governance platform. Custom agents that Tecto's team builds, per the industries page, are a service. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.airead 2026-09-25
Triggers & Channel Coverage	Not documented
No agent of Tecto's own receives work, so no event, schedule or webhook starts one. Real time alerts go to people as the product's output, and enforcement in the browser fires on a person's own prompt. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.ai (AI Control Room, Matter Intelligence)read 2026-09-25
Model Flexibility & Routing	Not documented
No model choice for the customer. Tecto Detector's redaction is described as pattern recognition plus contextual inference running on device, with no model named or selectable, and the AI Advisor's model is undisclosed. Governing which AI tools a firm's people use is not the same as choosing models. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.airead 2026-09-25
APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility	Not documented
Tecto's own platform has no documented API, SDK or MCP server, and no agent card. The catalog's delivery surfaces are a browser extension, a Microsoft Word add in and a dashboard, none of which lets an outside caller drive the platform, and docs.tecto.ai does not resolve. The homepage may list more than the catalog does. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.ai and a DNS probe of docs.tecto.airead 2026-09-25
Testing, Debugging & Optimization	Not documented
Tecto evaluates AI vendors, not the customer's agents. The AI Tool Library provides diligence reports on AI vendors' security, privacy and risk, which describe a third party product in general rather than testing the customer's agent: no test cases, scoring or quality gate reads on what an agent did, and there is no optimization loop after deployment. The alerts on misuse and compounding errors watch live use rather than test anything. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.ai (AI Tool Library + AI Advisor)read 2026-09-25
Browser & Computer Use	Not documented
Tecto Detector and Matter Intelligence run as a browser extension, but the product running in a browser is not an agent operating one: they read and redact prompts and enforce policy while a person drives the page. No agent navigates or operates an interface. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.ai (Tecto Detector, Matter Intelligence)read 2026-09-25

The Agentic Index coverage score grades every vendor Full, Partial or Not documented against the same 14 buyer facing capabilities, from public evidence only. Each capability links to how all vendors in the index score on it. How this evidence is graded

Pricing

Contact sales

What is public

Nothing numeric. The product catalog and a demo request path are public; plans, prices and the billing unit are not. The main site refuses automated fetchers, so it was read only through search index copies.

Billing mechanics

Not publicly documented; contracts are arranged through a demo request.

Cost watchouts

Packaging across the five products is not published, so whether redaction, matter level policy, discovery and the vendor library are sold together or separately is a question for the sales call.

Variable cost rationale

No usage metering is published. The about page says the platform scales from 10 to 10,000 AI agents, which reads as contracted scope rather than metered use, but the billing unit is not stated.

Additional watchouts

Early stage, Y Combinator backed vendor whose positioning has narrowed to law firms; packaging and terms are likely to change.

Sales call required

Yes, required for paid access

Free / trial

No free tier or trial documented

Key ambiguities

The billing unit (per seat, per agent or tool governed, per product, or a flat platform fee) and whether the five products are sold separately are not public.

Missing data

All pricing figures, billing unit, product packaging, contract terms and trial availability.
