Routant

Not yet independently verified. No maker launch date, so it is dated from the Y Combinator launch page. Pricing, customers and security certifications are not published, the claim that its rules hold whatever the prompt says is the company's own, and neither page gives its location or the founder's surname. We will update this when it can be confirmed, and remove this note.

A support agent can find why a customer cannot check out only if it may read that customer's private service logs, and restarting the stalled service takes a further permission few companies will hand over in bulk. Routant, from AlphaDI Labs Inc., is a gateway built for that handoff between a software vendor's agent and a customer's systems.

The example on its homepage

The site walks through a support agent at a customer called Acme Inc. Reading service logs is allowed, restarting a service waits for the customer's approval, and deleting records is blocked, with nothing executed. Each call is judged against that customer's own policy, and the request, the decision and any approval land in an activity history the customer can inspect.

One endpoint, outbound-only gateways

The vendor connects its agents once, over a single MCP endpoint, and keeps running them on its own stack. Customers choose which systems to expose. Private cloud and on-premises systems connect through an outbound-only gateway, so no inbound ports are opened. Customer teams handle approvals and review activity from one dashboard.

Rules that do not live in the prompt

Founder Aditya says prompt instructions and scattered configuration files are not reliable security boundaries, so Routant enforces the rules in the access path itself. The launch post also pictures a personal case: an assistant that handles work email while messages from friends stay invisible to it. Aditya describes earlier work as a quantitative options trader at IMC and a computer science degree from Princeton.
