The audit trail for agentic AI
We're building the infrastructure that makes AI agents trustworthy—cryptographic proof for every decision, without exposing your data. This isn't just an audit tool. It's the layer that makes responsible AI deployment possible at global scale.
AI agents make millions of decisions daily—but nobody can prove what happened
Financial institutions face 6-12 week audit cycles. Healthcare providers can't trace diagnostic AI decisions. NGOs deploying life-saving AI for refugees can't demonstrate safety—blocking funding and adoption.
Chronicler changes that. We're building the infrastructure that makes AI agents trustworthy—cryptographic proof for every decision, without exposing sensitive data. Compliance without compromise.
Impact
Infrastructure for responsible AI at global scale
SDG 9
Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure
Building the foundational infrastructure that enables responsible AI innovation—resilient audit trails, sustainable industrialization of AI, and a catalyst for deployment in blocked sectors.
SDG 16
Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions
Ensuring AI systems are accountable and transparent. When AI harms people, organizations can trace exactly what happened. Small NGOs get governance equal to Fortune 500s.
By solving the governance bottleneck, we enable AI deployment for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 3 (Good Health), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
Our Values
What we believe
Privacy First
Zero-knowledge proofs enable GDPR and EU AI Act compliance without exposing vulnerable populations' data. Prove everything, reveal nothing.
Developer Experience
Compliance shouldn't require a PhD. Simple APIs, clear docs, instant feedback—tools developers actually want to use.
Democratize Governance
Only large enterprises can afford compliance infrastructure. We're changing that—so NGOs and social enterprises get Fortune 500–level governance.
Open Standards
Built on Cedar, Groth16, and open protocols. No vendor lock-in. Your policies and proofs work everywhere.
