Rooben

Open-source governance for AI agents in production.

A control plane between your agents and your budget. Rooben caps spend per run, standardizes how work is dispatched, and keeps an auditable record of what each agent did.

  • SOC 2 ready
  • Self-hosted or managed

  • Agentic orchestration
  • Regulated & high-security environments
  • Architecture & developer experience

The problem

Teams adopt agents faster than they build controls for them. Cost has no ceiling, and every team invents its own workflow. When something goes wrong, there is no record of which agent did what on whose authority. In a regulated environment, that stops the rollout entirely.

The approach

Rooben treats governance as a deployment target, not a policy document. It enforces budget ceilings and workflow standards at dispatch time. The audit trail is a by-product of execution, so nobody has to reconstruct it afterwards.

How Rooben fits together

  1. Agent request

  2. Budget check

    Enforced at dispatch, so a runaway loop hits a ceiling

  3. Standard workflow

    One definition shared across teams

  4. Execution

  5. Audit trail

    Produced by the run itself

Every run passes through dispatch, which is where the controls are enforced.

What Rooben does

  • Budget enforcement at dispatch

    A runaway loop hits a ceiling instead of an invoice, because the control sits at dispatch time.

  • Standardized workflows

    One workflow definition shared across teams, instead of every team inventing its own.

  • An audit trail by default

    Each run produces its own audit trail, so nothing has to be reconstructed after something goes wrong.

  • SOC 2-mapped controls

    Compliance controls mapped to SOC 2, alongside a self-hosted community edition and a managed enterprise tier.

Watch a Rooben run

Agents work in parallel while Rooben verifies every output and tracks every dollar.
