AI agents and accountability

Put AI agents to work with someone accountable for every action.

Access controls decide what an agent can reach. Icebreaker decides whether each action it proposes is within the authority the business gave it, and records who is accountable.

You will speak to Yuxiang Lin, Chief Product Officer.

When agents are ready but the organisation is not.

Governance, not technology, is usually what holds agents back.

  • Agents are stuck in pilot because risk will not sign them off.
  • Nobody can say exactly what an agent is allowed to do.
  • Audit asks for evidence of each decision, and there is none.
  • Your regulator is asking how AI decisions are governed.
What you get

Every proposed action is checked before it runs.

Icebreaker is patent pending and in customer pilots. It checks each action against the purpose, objective and intent the business approved.

Within authorityAllowThe action runs, and the decision is recorded.
Above the agent's limitApprovalA named person decides, with the evidence in front of them.
Outside its purposeDenyThe action does not run, and the attempt is recorded.

Our readiness check maps controls to the MAS AI risk management guidelines, the EU AI Act, APRA expectations and SAFR. A product supports specific controls; it does not make a firm compliant.

How we start

A conversation about the business problem, not a sales pitch.

First · free · about 45 minutes

What the first conversation establishes

  • The actions you want one agent to take.
  • Its authority boundaries, and who is accountable for each.
  • The evidence your risk team and regulator would expect, and the gaps.

It is not a compliance opinion or a deployment approval.
