🔗

Orchestrated Collaboration

Multiple specialized AI agents and workflow activities work together, coordinating their actions to complete end-to-end business processes that span systems, departments, and data sources.

⚖️

GuardRailed Automation

Governance across the whole lifecycle. GuardRailed Design channels every build choice through guided, metadata-driven dialogs and validates as you build; GuardRailed Execution validates every action at run time — every decision auditable, every outcome under enterprise control.

The appRules Platform at a Glance

One platform with out-of-the-box features for GuardRailed automation — from the first prompt to the last write to your systems of record. Start in no code, go further in low code, and extend in source code, all inside a governed harness around your AI.

GuardRailed Automation

Governance that starts before a workflow runs — and doesn't stop until it finishes. appRules guardrails the entire lifecycle of every automation in two complementary halves.

While You Build

🧭 GuardRailed Design

Guided and validated as you build.

  • Fields, values, and mappings picked from the live metadata model and picklists — not typed or invented
  • Context selected with the Context Picker, verified with Partial Preview
  • Typed Actions from a validated library and reusable, named Conditions
  • Every property validated as you configure, Validate Workflow on demand, and automatic validation before every run — the scheduler won't run an invalid workflow

While It Runs

⚖️ GuardRailed Execution

Guarded and audited as it runs.

  • A two-layer framework of security and execution governance around every AI interaction
  • Every field validated and controlled vocabularies enforced on every read and write
  • Only validated actions executed, with post-conditions checked before anything is written
  • Every decision auditable — AI advises, appRules acts

Design & Build

Design & Build is where ideas become governed automation. Lay out workflows visually from a rich library of ready-made activities, and write prompts with exactly the right data from 36 context types — then test them with Partial and Full Preview before they ever touch production. Orchestrate multi-step AI with Action Chains, run analyses in parallel, and turn business rules into AI powered decision tables — all in no code, with low code and source code there whenever you need them.

AI Powered Decision Tables

Rule-based decisions enriched with AI judgment. Business owners read the rules; AI fills in the judgment calls — every decision traceable.

Learn more → White paper →

Extension Workflow Activities

Custom logic before and after AI calls. Enrich each query before the AI sees it, and refine each answer after — all inside the governed workflow.

Learn more →

Governance

Governance is built into every step of appRules — not bolted on afterward. Named, reusable Conditions decide whether anything happens; tested, typed Actions decide what happens. Model Cross-Validation lets rules — not another model — judge AI answers. The Secure button locks sensitive activities, connections, and settings, and every run leaves a tamper-proof record of everything that happened.

Configurable Actions & Conditions

Conditions decide whether anything happens; Actions decide what happens. Define them once and use them throughout the workflow, with usage statistics on every run. Each workflow keeps its own Conditions and Actions to preserve context — and proven ones can be copied from other workflows.

ConditionsActionsBusiness Rules
Learn more → Conditions paper → Actions paper →

Model Cross-Validation

Ask the same question of multiple AI models, and let deterministic rules — not another model — decide what their answers mean, with a fail-safe for when they disagree. No single model becomes a single point of failure.

One Secure Button

Lock sensitive workflow activities, connections, data source metadata, and settings, so only the right credential can view or change them. Builders keep moving; sensitive assets stay protected.

Logging & Statistics

Tamper-proof logs and statistics for every run — activities, data sources, AI model calls and tokens, Condition results, and Action results — ready for audit and export. Answer any auditor's question with evidence, not reconstruction.

AI & Agents

AI & Agents brings a wide choice of leading AI providers into one governed platform — 20+ providers, including local models, so each task gets the model best suited to it. Put ready-made agents to work classifying records, emails, files, and entire folders, or compose your own in no code, low code, or source code. Ground answers in enterprise knowledge with RAG, intelligent document chunking, and embedded metadata — and let MCP-compatible AI assistants call governed appRules workflows.

Connectivity & Integration

Connectivity & Integration reaches every system your business runs on, with metadata-driven, full read/write connectors across 36 categories. One metadata model describes every entity, relationship, and picklist, so workflows are built from what actually exists. Microsoft integration runs deep — Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, SQL Server, Azure, and Visual Studio — and two control centers manage every data source connection and AI asset in one place.
