Governed AI Agents

AI proposes. Approved controls decide. Deterministic workflows execute.

Fontana agents assist with analysis, drafting, explanation, and setup inside a governed operating layer. They do not execute production workflows without approved controls. AI proposes, people approve, and approved workflows execute deterministically, with policy, logging, lineage, and replay built in.

LLM Catalogue

300+ models via 12+ approved gateways

Fontana is AI agnostic: route any LLM through any approved gateway that fits your compliance, residency, and data-handling requirements, without locking workflows to one vendor or model family.

How they help

Agents reduce analysis and setup effort before controlled workflows run.

The agents interpret complex inputs, draft operational logic, explain breaks, and assemble evidence, before approved logic is converted into deterministic workflows.

Fontana agent analysing operational data and drafting a governed report in a team-specified format.
Governed agents analyse your data and draft reports in the format your team defines, ready for review before controlled distribution.

Source analysis

Inspect files, schemas, samples, and upstream documentation to surface fields, formats, gaps, and assumptions.

Mapping drafts

Draft candidate mappings and transformations for review against approved target schemas and controls.

Exception explanation

Summarise likely causes, supporting evidence, prior similar breaks, and proposed next steps for human review.

Operating specifications

Turn source analysis, rules, decisions, and approval requirements into review-ready operating specs.

Evidence packs

Draft lineage, assumptions, reviewer notes, and run evidence so teams do not assemble packs manually.

Workflow setup

Help configure a governed workflow faster while keeping approvals, tests, and deterministic execution explicit.

Approval boundary

AI keeps production authority via human-in-the-loop approval.

Useful AI should make work easier to review, not harder to govern. Production authority stays with approved controls and named owners. AI tasks are separated by risk: analysis and drafting run automatically; production-impacting actions stay behind human-in-the-loop approval. Every AI action - automatic or human-approved - is included in the full audit trail.

Tasks that AI agents can perform automatically:

  • Analyse files, schemas, and source outputs without approval

  • Infer fields, mappings, and validation checks for review

  • Draft operating specifications and mapping proposals

  • Explain breaks, exceptions, and supporting evidence

  • Propose workflow configuration before it is applied

  • Summarise evidence packs for reviewers

Tasks that require human-in-the-loop approval:

  • Change production rules or workflow boundaries

  • Approve exceptions, outputs, or control changes

  • Execute operational steps in production

  • Bypass prompt, output, routing, version, and decision logs

  • Override named owners, approval gates, or control policies

  • Act outside defined permissions and data-class boundaries

No AI

AI assistance can be disabled without disabling the workflow.

Fontana's execution boundary remains deterministic. If a workflow, data class, client, jurisdiction, or policy requires no AI assistance, the approved rules, validations, approvals, lineage, replay, and audit evidence continue to operate without model involvement.

AI path

Assistive analysis and drafting where policy allows.

Approval gate

Human-owned control decides what is accepted.

No-AI path

Rules execute deterministically with the same evidence requirements.

Logging and evidence

Prompts, outputs, routes, and reviewer decisions are logged.

Technology and control teams need to know what was asked, which data was referenced, which model or agent was used, what came back, and what humans decided afterwards.

  • Prompt and task intent

  • Input references and data class

  • Model, agent, route, and policy applied

  • Output, citations, and confidence signals

  • Reviewer, decision, comments, and approval state

  • Run context needed for audit and replay

Model and agent routing

Routing is governed by task, data, policy, cost, confidence, and approval requirement.

Fontana is model and agent agnostic, but not model indifferent. Routing choices are part of the governed operating model, not hidden implementation detail.

Task

Different work can route to different models or agents depending on purpose and risk.

Data class

Sensitive data can be restricted to approved models, environments, or no-AI paths.

Policy

Governance rules define which assistance is allowed and which actions require approval.

Cost and usage

Model usage is visible so teams can monitor spend and tune routing over time.

Confidence

Low-confidence outputs can be blocked, routed to review, or handled without AI assistance.

Approval need

Tasks that affect production remain behind human-owned gates and deterministic execution.

Team control

Operations stay in control. Technology can audit and replay activity.

Fontana gives operations teams full control with complete visibility over workflow activity, approvals, changes, and outcomes. Every process can be audited, traced, and replayed when needed.

Operations teams

Own approvals, exception handling, rule changes, and production decisions. AI helps prepare the work; operators decide what becomes accepted process.

Technology teams

Audit prompts, outputs, routes, model usage, versions, permissions, lineage, and replay context without treating the AI layer as a black box.

Fontana AI - Feature Highlights

Any Gateway, Any Model

Choose from 300+ public models, or use your firm's custom LLM.

Route frontier, open, and domain-specific models through OpenRouter, direct APIs, Bedrock, and OpenAI-compatible gateways, or connect a private deployment your architecture team hosts inside the perimeter.

BYOK

Connect gateways with your firm's own API keys and credentials, stored separately from model routing and never passed through the thread.

Agent Configuration

Fine-grained configuration of all agents, from system prompts and reasoning level to context pool, temperature, cost guards, and more.

300+ Models

Frontier, open, and domain-specific models from major providers

12+ Gateways

OpenRouter, direct APIs, Bedrock, and OpenAI-compatible routes

Fontana Platform

Governed routing, policy, logging, and workflow boundaries

Agent orchestration

Orchestrate long-running workflows with explicit agent boundaries.

Create agents for analysis, workflow setup, and review. Use skills, sub-agent delegation, and handoff to keep threads focused and token use efficient.

SubAgent Delegation

Use SubAgent Delegation to isolate deep work in child threads while the parent keeps context lean.

Agent Handoff

Use Agent Handoff to transfer the root thread to a specialist agent when the task surface changes.

Agent Interop

Use Agent Interop with A2A, ACP, OFP, and other standards to communicate with external agents.

Context Engineering

Build out your firm's Knowledge Graph in permissioned namespaces.

Organise operational knowledge (standards, firm rules, mappings, prior decisions, and workflow logic) into namespaces your teams control. Agents assemble thread context from what you have validated, not ad-hoc uploads.

Knowledge Graph

Build a knowledge graph to model your firm's standards, rules, and decisions.

Agent Skills

Use Agent Skills to add tools and context briefly for specific tasks without bloating every turn.

Agent Memory

Allow agents to self-improve using auditable, permanent memory that persists across threads.

Data querying

Enrich your AI threads with accurate live data queries, directly from your data sources.

Allow AI to run complex queries on your data to search, group, filter, aggregate, and more, without pushing bulk datasets through the model.

Data Query

Agents can query data directly using SQL, TypeScript, Python, and more; results are returned to the thread without bulk data entering the model context.

MCP

Use MCP to access external data sources, perform financial data lookups, or communicate directly with your firm's tooling.

Analysis

Build analysis reports with graph citations and live query proof.

Combine Knowledge Graph context with live queries to produce findings reviewers can trust. Attach query definitions, cite approved sources, and export review-ready evidence, not unsupported narrative.

Data Visualisation

Render charts and visualisations inline in the thread so reviewers see findings alongside the query proof that produced them.

Document Creation

Generate Markdown, Excel, Word, and PDF documents, complete with citations, and export-ready structure on the audit trail.

Human in the loop

Embed questionnaires, clarifications, and approvals in the flow.

Generate structured questionnaires, clarification checks, and approval forms mid-analysis or mid-workflow build. Collect human input as steps in the thread, not side-channel email or ad-hoc chat, so decisions stay on the audit trail.

Suggestions

Surface workflow suggestions in-thread so reviewers can accept or reject proposed changes without leaving the audit trail.

Human In the Loop Form

Collect questionnaires, clarifications, and approvals as structured forms embedded directly in the agent thread.
