Summary

Hide ▲

Willow emerged from stealth with an identity and access platform for enterprise AI agents, giving organizations centralized control over agent identities, approvals, and runtime access. The launch matters because autonomous AI systems can now be tied to least-privilege rules, approved integrations, and audit logging instead of broad default access. The platform also supports deployment models including SaaS, dedicated cloud, and air-gapped environments.
