Frequently asked questions

AgentGovern is a compliance-as-code platform that instruments your AI agents (LangChain and LangGraph) and evaluates every action in real time against the EU AI Act policy pack and your own custom policies. It generates audit-ready evidence automatically.

The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive AI regulation, classifying AI systems by risk level and imposing obligations on providers and deployers of high-risk AI. It applies in stages: prohibited practices since February 2025, general-purpose AI obligations since August 2025, and Article 50 transparency obligations from 2 August 2026. Obligations for stand-alone high-risk systems under Annex III (including many agentic AI applications in financial services) apply from 2 December 2027, deferred from August 2026 by the Digital Omnibus, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. Annex I product-embedded high-risk systems follow on 2 August 2028.

Yes. AgentGovern provides first-class support for LangChain via a drop-in SDK integration. Two calls, init() and instrument_langchain(), return a callback handler; pass it to your agent through callbacks and its actions are captured, policy-evaluated, and logged for compliance.

AgentGovern supports LangChain and LangGraph via the Python SDK, using instrument_langchain() and instrument_langgraph(). Support for additional agent frameworks is on the roadmap.

AgentGovern ships a policy pack for the EU AI Act. You can author custom policies in YAML that map to any internal or jurisdictional framework. Additional regulatory packs are on the roadmap.

Every agent action passing through AgentGovern is logged with a timestamp, the policy evaluation result, the action payload (configurable redaction), and the applicable regulatory reference. These logs are aggregated into EU AI Act conformity reports for regulators or internal audit teams.

Behavioral drift occurs when an AI agent's actions change over time in ways that violate compliance policies. For example, an agent begins accessing data it wasn't originally authorized to access. AgentGovern does not detect drift yet; it is on the roadmap. Today it records each agent action and its policy evaluation, the per-action history that drift monitoring is built on.

No. AgentGovern captures your agent's actions, evaluates them against your policies, and records each violation with its regulatory citation for audit review. It does not stop the agent: the action goes ahead and the violation is recorded. Each policy can be set to one of four enforcement modes, from least to most restrictive: Log, Warn, Alert and Enforce. None of them, Enforce included, stops an agent through the SDK.

Yes. The AgentGovern SDK is open source (MIT license) and always free. The cloud compliance dashboard, team management, and audit report generation are part of the Professional and Enterprise plans.

AgentGovern has four tiers: Free (Developer), Starter, Professional, and Enterprise. Pricing, action limits, seat counts, and feature details are kept current on the pricing page at zirahn.com/pricing. That's the source of truth, not this FAQ.

No. AgentGovern is a hosted service: the SDK runs inside your application and sends agent actions to AgentGovern's hosted policy engine and dashboard. On-premises and VPC deployment are not available.

AgentGovern is built for Financial Services (banking, capital markets, insurance), Healthcare (clinical AI, administrative automation), and any regulated industry deploying agentic AI at scale.
