Your coding agents and delivery tools stay. ClrSlate governs them.
Agentic executionwith enterprise discipline.
We built ClrSlate to bring the discipline enterprises already run on (owners, decision rights, reviews and evidence) to AI agents, so agents carry the coordination and people keep the decisions.

Why now
Agents now produce plans, code and decisions faster than any team can review them. Enterprises already run unpredictable actors at scale: people, through roles, reviews and a chain of command.That discipline has not reached agents. ClrSlate brings it to them.
A seat is a role a person and an agent hold together; the escalation matrix says who decides above each limit, seat by seat.
Your coding agents answer “can it do the work?”.Nobody answers “who owns what it does?”. A chain of command does.

How it plugs in
No new inbox, no new tool to learn.
- 01Connects to your repositories, trackers and chat as an app
- 02Holds a decision as a check the owner clears
- 03Asks the owner where they already work, and carries out what was decided
Owners, decision rights,reviews and evidence.
The four disciplines your organization runs on, kept without the chasing.
Owners
Every job has an owner
- Name an owner for every service and recurring job
- Give each seat a person and an agent
- Cover the seat when its person is away
- Hand work over when people change teams
- Know whom each agent answers to
- Find an owner for the request nobody took

- Check a change against policy before it merges
- Keep the rules versioned
- Review a change to a procedure
- Ask for changes and follow them up
- Review the coding agents’ work, not only people’s
- Notice the rules that keep escalating

Is this another AI agent platform?
No. There are plenty of ways to build an agent. ClrSlate is the layer above them: it says which seat an agent works in, whom it answers to, what it may decide and when it must ask a human. The agents themselves can be the ones you already run.
Our coding-agent platform already has roles, approvals and audit logs. What does ClrSlate add?
Those controls govern one vendor’s agent inside the pull request: who may run it, what it may touch, and a log of what it did. ClrSlate answers the question they leave open: who in your organization owns what the agent does, who decides when it is above a limit, and where the decision is on the record. It does that for every agent you run, from whichever vendors you chose, under one chain of command, and across the work that happens outside the repository: strategy, roadmap, releases, incidents, customer escalations, audits. Keep the platform; give its agent a seat.
Start with howyou run today.
Bring one piece of work that breaks at the handoffs: a pull request waiting on three reviewers, an initiative spread across twelve tools, a release nobody owns. We model the seats it crosses, give one of them an agent, and follow one decision to its record.
Agents carry the coordination. People keep the decisions.
“I wanted agents to join my company the way everything else does: owned, governed and accountable. That is what we built, and we run ClrSlate on ClrSlate.”
