Our Mission
Kyvvu automates AI governance so you can deploy agents with confidence. We believe AI agents will transform how organizations work—but only if they operate within clear, enforceable boundaries. Whether those boundaries come from the AI Act, industry regulations, or your own corporate values, Kyvvu makes them real at runtime.
What We Do
We provide a runtime governance layer for AI agents that:
- Enforces policies automatically: Define what “good behavior” means once, enforce it across all agents
- Maintains complete audit trails: Immutable, hash-chained logging of every agent action
- Enables compliance: EU AI Act templates built-in, with support for industry-specific requirements
- Integrates seamlessly: Python SDK, LangChain integration, framework-agnostic REST API
- Scales with you: From pilot to production, single agent to enterprise fleet
Our Platform
We have a production-ready:
- REST API: Agent registration, policy management, and compliance queries
- Python SDK: Decorator-based integration with LangChain callback handlers
- Management Dashboard: For developers to monitor agents and compliance teams to audit behavior
- Policy Engine: Real-time evaluation of agent actions against your governance rules
- Incident Management: Automatic detection and escalation of policy violations
The Team
Kyvvu is a small, focused team:
- Founder: Maurits Kaptein (Professor of Statistical Learning at TU Eindhoven, previous AI startup exits)
- Four highly skilled advisors helping on partnerships, integration, and compliance
- Two engineers building the platform and testing
Our Story
Kyvvu emerged from a simple observation: organizations are deploying AI agents at an accelerating pace, but they lack the infrastructure to ensure these agents behave according to their values. The EU AI Act codifies this need, but compliance is just one outcome of proper governance.
We started Kyvvu in late 2025 to build the missing governance layer. After extensive internal testing and evaluation, we’re now working with partners to validate our approach across healthcare, financial services, and government sectors.
Today, Kyvvu is an early-stage company building runtime compliance infrastructure for AI agents. We’re backed by seed funding and working with a small number of pilot partners in regulated industries across the Netherlands.
Join Us
We’re looking for:
- Backend engineers (Python, FastAPI)
