Agents for the work that repeats.

Northscale builds governed AI agents around the operational work already running inside your business, then puts them on one core that finds the context, moves the workflow forward, and keeps your team in control.

governed AI agent
A governed AI agent is an AI agent that works inside explicit boundaries: scoped tool and data permissions, human approval gates before consequential actions, and a full audit trail, so it can do real operational work without going off-script. Northscale builds governed AI agents on Cortex, its reusable governed core.
What the brain does

One operating layer for your tools, people and workflows.

The Northscale brain connects the systems your team already uses, understands the workflow in motion, and gives each agent the context and the boundaries it needs to help safely.

01 · Shared context

Finds the context

Ask across emails, documents, CRM notes and internal knowledge. Get grounded answers with sources, not guesses.

02 · Workflow agents

Moves the workflow forward

Agents draft replies, prepare quote notes, route requests, suggest CRM updates and surface the next best action.

03 · Governance

Keeps humans in control

Sensitive actions require approval. Every recommendation, source and action is scoped, logged and auditable.

Where to begin

Start where the work hurts.

The best first agent isn't the ambitious one. It's the workflow your team already repeats every day, but still handles by hand.

01

Shared inbox triage

Classify enquiries, identify urgency, route work to the right place and draft the first response.

02

Quote request prep

Gather customer context, product notes, missing details and previous communication before a human approves the quote.

03

Customer follow-up

Draft timely follow-ups, chase missing information and keep opportunities from going cold.

04

CRM & admin updates

Summarize interactions, suggest field updates and keep records cleaner with less manual effort.

05

Document chasing

Track missing files, draft reminders and keep a visible trail of what has been requested.

06

Internal handovers

Package context for the next person so work does not restart from zero.

Cortex · the governed core

Govern it once. Every agent inherits it.

Workflow state, tool permissions, approval gates, audit trails, memory and safety checks live in one governed core we call Cortex. Each agent we build plugs straight into Cortex, so governance is a property of the platform, not a project-by-project afterthought.

governed-run.ts
// one core. every agent runs through the same gate.
import { govern, retrieve } from "@northscale/core";

// 1 · grounded context, retrieved & cited
const ctx = await retrieve(enquiry, {
  source: "docs",
  cite:   true,
});

// 2 · scoped, approval-gated, audited action
const safe = govern(sendReply, {
  scope:    ["email:draft"],
  approval: "required",
  audit:    true,
});

await safe({ to: enquiry, draft, ctx });
// → grounded · queued for approval · logged
A governed run

Every request travels the same governed path.

No action runs without passing through the core. Context is retrieved and cited, the move is scoped and approved, and the whole run is logged, end to end.

How we work

From one messy workflow to a governed agent.

01

Map the workflow

We identify the repeated process that creates delays, admin load or missed opportunities.

02

Connect the context

We connect the tools, documents and knowledge your team already uses every day.

03

Design the agent

We define exactly what the agent can see, draft, recommend, update and escalate.

04

Launch with control

Your team starts with human-approved drafts and actions before any deeper automation.

05

Improve from real runs

Logs, feedback and real examples help sharpen the workflow over time.

Start here

If a process repeats, we can govern an agent for it.
