Today, Classie launched Supervise — a platform to track, control, and account for enterprise AI agents in real time. Its headline capability, in the company's own words: "Agentic chain of custody. Create a traceable and auditable record connecting agent activity with identity, context and intent, providing tamper-evident provenance for investigation, compliance and governance."

Chain of custody. Tamper-evident provenance. Investigation, compliance, governance.
That is our thesis, shipped by someone else, priced at $99 per user. Techstrong.ai, 2026-10-01
What Supervise does
The platform defines rules through an Open Policy Agent (OPA) policy engine, enforced inline by lightweight sensors. It produces runtime transcripts of agentic workflows: who initiated the activity, what the agent did, what information it used, what it cost, and an audit trail. Real-time intervention can alert, restrict, reroute, or stop an agent action as it happens. It follows sanctioned and unsanctioned agent activity across endpoints, browsers, and corporate compute environments, and ties token spend back to the people, agents, and environments that generated it. Fifteen-minute install, monitored enterprise posture in five days. Techstrong.ai, 2026-10-01

Supervise follows Classie Discover (April 2026) and Classie Analyze (July 2026) — discover what agents exist, analyze what they do, supervise them in real time. The sequencing is the tell: enterprises deployed agents first and are now scrambling to watch them.
Notice the two words doing the heaviest lifting in that product line: "sanctioned and unsanctioned." Classie's platform tracks agent activity across endpoints, browsers, and corporate environments — including the agents nobody approved. Your company already has AI agents running inside it that your IT team never provisioned. A marketing contractor's browser plugin. A rep's personal automation. The customer-support tool a team signed up for on a credit card. Shadow AI is the new shadow IT, and the custody problem starts with admitting you don't know everything that's acting in your name.

The category is forming
This is not an isolated launch. Decagon announced its consent protocol yesterday. Connecticut's governance law took effect today. Nvidia shipped its agent safety runtime this week. The FTC is probing rogue agents. Every announcement is converging on one idea: an agent's actions must be attributable, authorized, and auditable.
A category is forming around exactly what Solomon was built on. When the biggest enterprise platform launches of the week all carry the words "chain of custody" and "consent protocol," the thesis is no longer contrarian. It's the market.
The line that matters
But here's the distinction a business owner should understand before buying any of this tooling: a chain of custody that only records what happened is an autopsy. A governed chain decides what is allowed to happen.
Solomon's chain is Intent → Evidence → Governance → Decision → Authorization → Audit. Supervise covers the right side of that chain well — visibility, transcripts, spend attribution, after-the-fact provenance. The left side is where the decisions get made: what the agent is trying to do, what evidence it has, whether the rules permit it, and who authorized it — before the action fires, not after.
Audit tells you what went wrong. Authorization stops it. The enterprises buying Supervise today will discover, within a year, that they need both.
The industry keeps validating the thesis in pieces. Classie shipped the custody. Decagon shipped the consent. Connecticut shipped the calendar. Robinhood shipped the warning label.
Nobody has shipped the whole chain yet — governance before the action, authorization at the moment of decision, and a trail that survives a regulator's audit or a courtroom's questions. That's the gap. That's the product.
We shipped the whole chain.
