Governed automation for consequential work
Build autonomy. Keep control.
Describe a process. Your agent builds the tools and workflow around your systems, proves it in rehearsal, and keeps every action within your rules.
Your systems. Your approval roles. Your limits.

You describe the process
When an AP invoice arrives, compare its total to the purchase order total and hold anything more than two percent over for a human to approve.
I’ll build the lookup, comparison and hold tools around your ERP, then route exceptions to an AP manager. Bank detail changes stay blocked.

Assistants your people bring.
Boundlane Studio
Builds the automation
Describe a process. Studio builds the workflow, rules and approval points into one version, and proves it in rehearsal.
How it worksBoundlane Control
Runs it under policy
Control runs that same version under policy, routes approvals and exceptions to the right people, and records every effect.
How policy decidesBoundlane Gateway
Governs the assistants your people use
Gateway lets your people use the AI assistant they already have on your business systems, each with their own credential, inside a policy you control.
The second doorStudio, Control and Gateway share one Boundlane account: one sign-on, one approvals inbox, one audit chain and one bill.
Boundlane Studio + Control
One process.
From intent to evidence.
Studio builds the workflow, rules and approval points into one version. Control runs that same version under policy. Your team can inspect what it may do before giving it more authority.
Process knowledge, engineering and governance belong together.
The knowledge lives with the people who run the process, the implementation lives in an engineering backlog, and the controls arrive last. Boundlane keeps all three in one versioned system.
Process knowledge
Lives in documents and in the heads of the people who run the process.
With BoundlaneCaptured as versioned requirements, rules and exceptions the automation is built from.
Engineering capacity
Every change queues behind an integration backlog.
With BoundlaneThe implementation is generated against the systems you connected, and proved before it ships.
Governance
Prompts and access tokens get treated as controls.
With BoundlanePolicy is enforced outside the model, and every effect is recorded.
Understand
Reads your process documents and the structure of the systems you connect. Records the rules it learns, and asks when a fact it needs is missing rather than assuming one.
Build and prove
Writes the workflow, the tools and the guardrails, then tests them against scenarios and against cases that already happened. It cannot go live until that passes.
Run and improve
Starts in rehearsal, reading real data and recording every write without performing it, until you widen it. Then runs under policy, routes approvals and exceptions to the right people, and turns what the runs reveal into the next version.
The package that passes the gate is the package that executes — pinned by hash, and refused at runtime if the bytes changed.
The product
See what an automation can do.
And where its authority ends.
Workflow, business rules, rollout and run evidence, in one reviewable place.
Connect a system and it gets read, not configured.
Connecting reads the real objects, fields and picklist values: five objects and 31 fields from the ERP here. The agent designs against what it read, so it cannot invent a field you do not have.
Taken from the running product, not a mockup.
Control at the point of action
The model proposes.
Policy decides.
An action reaches your systems only when the policy layer allows it, whether a Boundlane automation proposed it or an assistant your team connected. Forbidden actions never execute, and an approval cannot override that boundary.
Inspect the controlsModel proposal
Change a supplier’s bank details
Policy decision
Blocked in every rollout stage
Evidence
The refusal is recorded and escalated to a person. No change reaches the supplier record.
Your administrators decide which actions are forbidden. We recommend the list
Forbidden actions never execute, in any rollout stage
Payments, refunds and other amounts above your limits wait for a person
Per-tenant secrets, envelope-encrypted; the master key can live in a cloud KMS
Row-level isolation across every tenant query
Hash-chained audit trail, and a verifiable receipt for every run
Every automation keeps the evidence to answer: what did it do, why was the action allowed or refused, who approved it, and can the effect be reversed?
Boundlane Gateway
Every agent’s path to your systems,
controlled.
Your teams already work in AI assistants and their IDEs. Gateway is the second door into your business systems: connect any assistant that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in, and each person works with their own credential for each system, inside a policy your company controls. One engine governs every system, and a connector adapts it to each one.
Their own access
Each person connects their own account for each system once, so the system’s own permissions still apply. Your role-based policy then narrows what their assistant may do.
A second person for every change
An assistant can only propose a change. A different person with an approver role decides it in Boundlane, and exactly that change runs, once.
Evidence on both sides
Every call is recorded in a hash-chained log that Boundlane anchors in your own audit chain, so a rewrite of either is detectable. Entitlement reports show who could do what.
First certified connector
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP
Field and organisation scoping and record-version checks. Every operation passes Boundlane’s activation gate before it is enabled.
MCP connector
Any system with a remote MCP server
An ERP, HCM, CRM, procurement or service platform that publishes a remote MCP server: per-person sign-in, per-tool grants with argument limits, approvals for changes and the same audit chain.
Not yet certified with a specific vendor’s server.
More certified connectors follow design partner demand.
The same connection reaches your automations. With the Control Gateway, an assistant acts on your systems through the actions an automation exposes: never with a credential of its own, and never outside your rules. Each call meets that automation’s policy: rollout stage, approvals, limits and the forbidden list.
Across the enterprise
Built around the work
your team already knows.
For teams whose processes are too consequential to hand to a script. Each function brings its own vocabulary, approval roles and recommended hard limits. Your administrators decide which limits apply, and the way they are enforced stays consistent.
Finance operations
Invoice matching, exception handling, supplier chases, reconciliation and close tasks. Limits, approvals and an audit trail are hard requirements from the first process.
Forbidden by default: releasing a payment
IT operations
Ticket triage, access requests, provisioning and routine changes against systems such as ServiceNow or Jira. High volume, clear rules, and a person involved where the rules require one.
Forbidden by default: disabling multi-factor authentication
HR operations
Onboarding, offboarding, case management and the records that follow a person through them.
Forbidden by default: changing bank details
Revenue operations
Order-to-cash steps, quote approvals, renewal chases and CRM hygiene across systems such as Salesforce or HubSpot. Processes that span systems and today depend on people forwarding work.
Forbidden by default: granting admin access
Customer support
Ticket triage, entitlement checks, escalation paths and refund review.
Always forbidden: deleting an audit record
Your other processes
Anything else your teams run by rules works the same way. Your administrators decide the hard limits, the approval limits and who decides above them.
Forbidden by default: exporting records in bulk
Reference architecture
Horizontal reach.
Vertical depth.
Anyone across these functions can describe a process in plain language. Each automation is built against that system’s real schema, under that function’s own approval roles and forbidden actions.
We have also mapped Boundlane against the enterprise agentic-platform reference architecture published by QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey.
