The problem

The AI deadlock

Udal is a sovereign AI agent control plane: software you run on your own infrastructure to control what enterprise AI agents can access, which models they use and what they spend.

  1. 01

    The board wants AI

    Competitors are moving and the pressure to deliver is rising.

  2. 02

    Risk says not like this

    Data leaving the organisation, unclear audit trails, unpredictable costs.

  3. 03

    So pilots stall

    Promising experiments never reach production.

Udal removes the blockers, so AI reaches production safely.

Model routing

Sensitive work stays in-house. Other work takes the right route.

Set policy for which models each agent can use. Keep sensitive work on internal models and govern access to external providers, with budgets and an audit record for every call.

For leaders

Built for every seat at the table

AI only reaches production when every leader can say yes. Udal answers each of them.

  • CEO

    Move faster than competitors without a headline risk.

    Ship agents in weeks, inside guardrails your risk teams have already approved.

    Weeks, not quarters.

    Why Udal
  • CFO

    Know what AI will cost before it costs you.

    Hard budgets per agent, one bill across every model, and cheaper in-house models for routine work.

    No inference mark-up.

    See pricing
  • CRO / General Counsel

    Prove compliance, don't just claim it.

    Tamper-evident audit logs and human approval for high-risk actions.

    Evidence on demand.

    Governance and audit
  • CISO

    Your data never leaves your environment.

    Runs on your infrastructure, including air-gapped. The vendor never sees customer data.

    No data ever reaches us.

    Security
  • CIO

    No lock-in to any AI vendor.

    Use open or commercial models, swap them freely, and run on your existing cloud or on premises.

    Runs on what you already run.

    The platform

Continuity

No kill switch. Not even ours.

“Most AI tools expect you to reshape your processes around them. Udal fits the gap between the processes we already have and AI enablement, which is exactly where we’ve been stuck.”

The name

Own your AI. Don't rent it.

Udal is an old Norse and Scottish form of land tenure, still found in Orkney and Shetland. It means outright ownership, free of any feudal superior.

Think freehold versus leasehold. Most AI today is rented from vendors who hold your data, set your terms and control your access. Udal gives you the freehold.

  • If an AI provider changes its terms, restricts access or delays in-country processing, your agents keep running.

  • If a regulator asks what an agent did and why, you can show them.

  • If usage spikes, hard budgets stop costs running away.
