For years, we've heard the buzz about AI. We've seen amazing demos, read countless articles, and maybe even played around with some of the personal AI tools ourselves. But here at Shakudo, we know that bringing AI into the heart of an enterprise—where it can truly transform operations—is a different ballgame. It's not just about a clever chatbot; it's about intelligent agents working seamlessly, securely, and scalably within your existing infrastructure.

That's why we're so excited announce: Kaji and Shakudo AI Gateway. Together, these two innovations are changing how businesses adopt and leverage AI, moving from theoretical potential to tangible results.

Meet Kaji: Your Organization's New AI Colleague

You might have heard whispers of "OpenClaw" or "Moltbot" – the viral personal AI agents that got everyone talking. Kaji is built on the same foundational idea of an autonomous agent that doesn't just respond, but acts. The key difference? Kaji is designed from the ground up for the enterprise.

Imagine an AI expert who understands your company's unique language, accesses your internal systems, and operates within your security perimeter. That's Kaji. This isn't just another language model in a browser; it's an intelligent agent that executes directly inside your infrastructure. Think about it: an AI that can review contracts, research market trends, draft proposals, and even triage IT incidents – all while staying within your control.

Kaji connects to over 200 production data sources, CRMs, and ticketing systems. It’s like giving an AI a set of hands to interact with your business applications. This means it can actually do things with your team, rather than just generating text. And because it runs on your private hardware or within your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), your sensitive data and prompts remain private.

This is a game-changer for businesses. Every interaction Kaji has, every piece of information it processes, becomes institutional memory. This knowledge isn't lost in a chat window; it's captured and belongs to your business, building a valuable, ever-growing intelligence base for your enterprise.

Why Kaji Needs Shakudo AI Gateway

The power of an autonomous agent like Kaji is immense, but with great power comes the need for great control. This is precisely where the Shakudo AI Gateway comes in. Think of Kaji as a brilliant new team member with access to critical systems. You wouldn't just hand over the keys to the kingdom without proper oversight, right? The Shakudo AI Gateway is that oversight – the unified control plane that ensures your Kaji agents (and any other AI agents) operate securely, compliantly, and efficiently.

Here at Shakudo, we've always been about providing an operating system for data and AI that lives entirely within your infrastructure. We solve the core challenge of enterprise AI adoption: making it fast, secure, and flexible. Our customers in critical sectors like banking, energy, healthcare, and defense rely on us for absolute control, total flexibility, and guaranteed time-to-value. The Shakudo AI Gateway extends these core principles directly to the agentic AI era.

Imagine an organization where dozens, or even hundreds, of Kaji agents are performing complex workflows. You need to manage who has access to what, ensure data privacy, control costs, and maintain a robust audit trail for compliance. Without a solution like the Shakudo AI Gateway, managing these agents effectively would quickly become a logistical and security nightmare.

Here’s a simple visual to help understand the flow:

Enterprise-Grade Control for the Agentic Era

The Shakudo AI Gateway offers four critical pillars of control that make Kaji, and any other AI agent, truly enterprise-ready:

One Door to Open: Unified Access

Imagine managing access for dozens of internal tools and AI agents separately. It’s a nightmare. The Shakudo AI Gateway brings every internal tool and every AI agent into a single, high-performance endpoint. This means your entire developer workforce can access and utilize AI resources through one secure channel. No more fragmented systems, no more shadow IT.

One Dial to Turn: Granular Parameter Control

AI models and agents often have complex parameters. How do you ensure your organization's standards are met? The Gateway lets you hardcode these standards. You can enforce specific parameters, transform values, set mandatory defaults, and even rename complex internal parameters for clarity. This prevents agents from accidentally (or intentionally) misusing functions or accessing deprecated features.

One Filter to Apply: Smart Response Filtering

Privacy and security are paramount. The Gateway sanitizes agent responses, automatically filtering out sensitive fields like Personally Identifiable Information (PII) before it ever leaves your secure VPC. It can also remove null values, which helps agents reason more effectively and reduces token usage, saving on API costs. This ensures your data remains protected, even when agents are interacting with external services.

One Trail for Compliance: Immutable Audit Logs

For industries with strict regulations like SOC2 and HIPAA, auditability is non-negotiable. The Shakudo AI Gateway maintains a permanent, identity-linked record of every configuration change and every API call. This immutable decision history provides a full trace of all tools and APIs used by your agents, giving you the peace of mind that you can satisfy any rigorous audit.

How Shakudo Elevates Kaji's Architecture

Kaji's architecture, as described, is robust. It features an "Agent System" designed for sophisticated reasoning. It supports various model providers—from Claude and GPT to local models like Ollama. It boasts a "Skills" section with dozens of capabilities, from code generation to marketing automation. And critically, Kaji uses a Graphiti Knowledge Graph for institutional learning, ensuring every interaction builds valuable business knowledge.

This is powerful. But without Shakudo, managing this complexity at an enterprise scale introduces significant challenges.

Consider the "Enterprise Reality Check" – the comparison between "Open Source / Personal" AI and "Kaji Enterprise." Shakudo is the platform that allows Kaji to truly shine as an "Enterprise" solution.

• Infrastructure: Kaji Enterprise runs on cluster orchestration (like Kubernetes in a private VPC). Shakudo is that operating system for data and AI, providing the tools to deploy entirely inside your infrastructure. This means Kaji benefits from Shakudo's efficient cloud compute management, autoscaling, and advanced multi-GPU/multi-cluster orchestration.
• Security Model: Instead of root shell access (a huge risk for prompt injection), Kaji Enterprise uses RBAC & Sandboxing with OIDC Auth and Keycloak. The Shakudo AI Gateway integrates directly with identity providers using Keycloak SSO, ensuring distinct access levels and a strict chain of custody for all API calls.
• Memory System: Kaji's Graphiti™ Knowledge Graph for structured entities is revolutionary. Shakudo ensures this powerful memory system is deployed and managed securely, allowing it to grow as institutional learning without compromising performance or data integrity.
• Integrations: Kaji uses a curated MCP Ecosystem with verified connectors. Shakudo's tool-agnostic orchestration capabilities mean that Kaji can seamlessly integrate with the entire open and closed-source AI/data ecosystem, from real-time data stores to unified Identity, Access Control, and Secret Management. This eliminates vendor lock-in and ensures Kaji always leverages the best technology.
• Auditability: Kaji Enterprise provides immutable decision history. The Shakudo AI Gateway complements this by offering permanent, identity-linked records of every configuration change, crucial for SOC2 and HIPAA compliance.
