Most AI tools can read your database. OntologyOS lets agents reason over your control schema — the classifications, the policies, the safeguards, and what they mean when a restricted-data record enters an approval chain.
A schema says classification = "restricted". That's a string. OntologyOS understands that "restricted" means AES-256 encryption at rest, no cross-region transfer without CISO sign-off, and a SOC 2 CC6.7 control obligation. That's evidence.
Without that context, agents take technically valid actions that fail a compliance review. They see a row. They don't see the control obligation attached to it. OntologyOS closes that gap.
See it in action →"Action: export record to us-east-2. Classification field: 'restricted'. No matching API rule. Proceeding with export."
"Blocked: restricted-classification record cannot transit to a non-BAA region. Routing for CISO approval per SOC 2 CC6.7."
Three steps from your existing integrations to agents that reason like your domain experts.
Auto-discover your entities, relationships, and business rules from the systems you connect — CRM, ERP, HR. Customers, invoices, cases, employees, whatever your business runs on. The canonical model surfaces from your real data, refined by execution.
OntologyOS maps your domain model onto your real systems — Salesforce fields, database columns, API responses. Automatic field mapping with zero manual configuration.
Vairity platform agents now understand your business context. They route decisions based on rules, not guesswork. Audit trails explain decisions in plain English, not JSON.
Source fields are auto-classified — public, internal, confidential, restricted — and propagated across systems. Agents understand sensitivity, not just shape.
Cross-region transfers of confidential data require CISO sign-off. PHI exports require a BAA. Restricted change requests require legal review. Defined once, enforced everywhere — across BUILD, AUTOMATE, and CONTROL.
OntologyOS produces evidence in plain language: "Blocked: PHI export to non-BAA region per HIPAA §164.502." Not a 200-line JSON trace your auditor has to interpret.
New SOC 2 control. New HIPAA safeguard. New internal policy. Update the ontology — every BUILD app, AUTOMATE workflow, and CONTROL policy picks it up. No retraining. No engineering sprint.
Because OntologyOS knows what a normal action looks like under your control framework, agents surface anomalies — unusual approval chains, out-of-policy classifications, data flows that would fail a SOC 2 walkthrough — that schema-level tools would miss.
Security-focused AI governance tools don't model your business domain. ITSM automation tools lock their ontology to IT service management. General workflow tools have no semantic layer at all.
OntologyOS is a horizontal semantic layer you define — connected to your systems, reasoning over your business logic, and shared across BUILD, AUTOMATE, and CONTROL.

FAQ
OntologyOS is Vairity's semantic domain modeling layer. It auto-discovers your business entities from the integrations you connect, and refines a single canonical model as workflows run. Every Vairity agent reasons over that model, so when an agent touches a "Customer," it understands your company's definition, not a generic database schema.
A database schema describes structure. OntologyOS encodes meaning — business rules, relationships, approval thresholds, routing logic, and exception conditions. An agent using OntologyOS can answer "should this invoice be escalated?" using your rules, not generic LLM guesswork.
No. OntologyOS sits above the model layer. When your business rules change — a new approval tier, a renamed field, a new product line — you update the canonical model. All agents automatically reflect the change on next run. No retraining, no fine-tuning, no model redeploy.
OntologyOS handles auto field mapping. If Salesforce calls it AccountName and your internal CRM calls it ClientTitle, OntologyOS maps both to your canonical Customer.name. Agents never see the inconsistency, and you stop writing brittle prompt engineering just to align field names.
OntologyOS is the intelligence layer built into the Vairity platform. It is not currently available as a standalone product. The Ontology Studio — a visual editor for your domain model — is on the near-term public roadmap.
