Getting Started

Getting Started

Two ways to run AIControls. Pick the deployment model that fits your team, then follow its setup path.

Choose your deployment

☁

Cloud Hosted / SaaS

Log in to your AIControls workspace and connect your team with the guided wizard or manual setup. No infrastructure to run.

Start cloud setup →

⎈

Self-Hosted (Kubernetes)

Install AIControls into your own Kubernetes cluster using the published Helm chart. No SaaS workspace required — data stays in your infrastructure.

Start self-hosted setup →

Help in the console

Many pages in the console have a Help button in the page header that opens a drawer explaining the page, with a Learn more link to the matching documentation page where one exists. A small ? button beside a section title, table column, or field opens a short explanation of that item. Press Enter or Space on a ? button to open it, press Tab to move to its Learn more link, and press Escape to close it and return to the button.

Protect your first agent

After you install, follow Protect your first agent to take one agent that runs in Kubernetes from its first gateway call to Enforce mode: discover it, register it in one step, learn its access, and enforce it. Workload Trust is available only in private self-managed installations, so this path applies to a self-hosted install and not to a Nirmata-hosted (SaaS) workspace. See Feature availability.
