David gives your team a powerful AI assistant and gives your organization a complete governance record of every interaction. The rules are enforced by the architecture — not by trust, not by training, not by policy PDFs.
Book a Demo → ❦A clean chat interface backed by governed agents. No compliance banners, no friction. Governance is invisible to the people using it. They get better answers than the tools they already use.
An immutable standard governs every interaction. Your organization writes local policies on top of it. Those policies can tighten the rules — never loosen them. Like variable scoping: the global standard always wins.
Every message evaluated. Every policy decision recorded. Every verdict traced to a specific rule. Not surveillance of private words — a record of institutional behavior.
Every message your team sends passes through the governance layer before it reaches the model. Every response the model generates passes through the same layer before it reaches the user.
Two-way evaluation. Input and output, weighed against the same rules. PII detected on the way in is redacted before the model ever sees it. Unsafe content generated on the way out is caught before it reaches the screen.
The governance layer is not a filter applied after the fact. It is the layer through which all requests and responses must pass.
The entire evaluation completes in milliseconds. The user never waits. The user never knows.
Governance operates in two tiers, like variable scoping in code. The Constitution is the global scope — 33 immutable rules that every David instance obeys, everywhere, always. No organization can weaken them.
Organization policies are the local scope. Your team writes rules specific to your industry, your data, your risk tolerance. These policies can tighten the baseline — flag what the Constitution allows, block what the Constitution only flags — but they can never loosen it.
An organization that tries to downgrade a constitutional block to a flag will be refused. The architecture enforces this. Not a person. Not a process. The code.
Every David deployment meets a minimum standard of governance, regardless of what any individual organization configures. The floor is guaranteed.
Every interaction produces a record. Not a transcript of what was said — that belongs to the user — but an account of what the system did. Which rules were evaluated. Which verdicts were reached. What was allowed, what was flagged, what was blocked, what was redacted.
The audit record captures institutional behavior, not private conversations. Verdicts, not transcripts. This is what your compliance team needs. This is what auditors ask for. This is what SOC2 requires.
The record speaks in verdicts, not in transcripts. It tells you what the system decided, not what your people said.
Export the full record in standard formats. Generate compliance reports on demand. Every entry traced to a specific rule — which policy, which threshold, which verdict.
Run open-source models on your own hardware. Llama, Mistral, Gemma — governed by the same rules as any cloud model. Your data never leaves your infrastructure.
Claude models accessed through the governance layer. Every interaction evaluated against your policy set before and after the API call. Enterprise-grade reasoning, fully governed.
GPT models routed through the same governance infrastructure. Switch providers without changing your policies. The governance layer is model-agnostic.
David is the commercial implementation of an open-source governance standard for agentic AI. The Constitution, the governance patterns, and the coordination protocols are a public good. David packages them into a product your organization can deploy.
