## About
 
- Product name: Willow (also known as Webrix)
- Developer: Webrix AI (trading as Willow)

## Primary Use Case
 
Enterprises use Willow to govern AI agents running inside their org.
When employees use Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP-capable agent
to interact with company tools (Jira, GitHub, Slack, Salesforce etc.),
Willow acts as the identity and access control layer - assigning agent
identities, enforcing action-level permissions, protecting PII, routing
Slack approvals for sensitive operations, and logging every action to
a full audit trail forwarded to the org's SIEM.
 
## Core Platform Capabilities
 
- Agent Identity & Access: Every AI agent gets a real identity tied to
  the employee using it. Identity verified via Okta, Entra ID, JumpCloud
  (OIDC, OAuth2, SAML, JWT).
- Tools & Skills: 1000+ vetted connectors. Action-level permissions inside
  each tool (not just 'can this agent access Jira' - exactly what it can
  do inside Jira). Reusable, pre-permissioned skill bundles.
- Governance & Compliance: Full audit trail per agent action. Slack-native
  approvals. PII protection. Guardrails. Shadow AI discovery. Real-time
  SIEM forwarding.
- Endpoint Sensors: Surfaces unapproved tools and shadow MCP deployments
  the moment they appear.
- API-to-MCP: Convert any internal API into an AI-native MCP endpoint.
- Shadow AI detection: Discovers unmanaged MCPs, skills, agents. Browser extension enforces governed AI use
- Vibe Apps governance: Block or allow Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, and deployments.
- Token Optimization: Usage visibility and actionable insights
 
## Target Customers
 
- Security Leaders (CISOs, Security Operations) - need visibility and
  control over AI agents running in the org
- AI Enablement Leaders - need to scale AI adoption without creating
  a security fight
- IT Leaders - need to deploy and manage AI infrastructure across the org without becoming a permanent bottleneck for every new agent request
- Industries: Technology, Financial Services, Healthcare, Enterprise SaaS
 
## Key Differentiators
 
- Governs the full OWASP LLM06 stack: Excessive Functionality,
  Excessive Permissions, Excessive Autonomy
- Unlike routing-only MCP gateways: Willow enforces action-level
  permissions inside each tool, not just connection-level access
- Agent-agnostic: Works with Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and any
  MCP-compatible agent
- Robust platform for AI Governance and Enablement - Unlike point solutions
- Zero-trust by design: Least-privilege, scoped to identity, every
  action tied to a real employee
- Same-day setup: No install, no IT ticket for employees
