What is ARQERA?
ARQERA is a safety layer for AI. Think of it like a seatbelt for artificial intelligence.
The Problem
AI can do incredible things — draft emails, analyze data, automate tasks. But AI can also make mistakes:
- Send an embarrassing email to the wrong person
- Access data it shouldn't
- Spend money without approval
- Make decisions you never agreed to
Without guardrails, AI is powerful but risky.
The Solution
ARQERA sits between AI and the real world. Before any AI action happens, ARQERA checks:
- Is this allowed? Does it follow your rules?
- Is this safe? Could it cause harm?
- Is this within budget? Will it cost too much?
- Should a human review this? Is it sensitive?
Then ARQERA gives a verdict:
| Verdict | What happens |
|---|---|
| PROCEED | Action is safe. Execute it. |
| ESCALATE | Action needs human approval. Routes to you. |
| BLOCK | Action is not allowed. Stops it. |
A Simple Example
You're using an AI assistant to manage your email.
Without ARQERA:
AI: "I'll reply to all 50 emails in your inbox." Sends 50 responses without checking any of them
With ARQERA:
AI: "I want to reply to 50 emails." ARQERA: "That's a lot. Let me check each one."
- 40 are routine → PROCEED
- 8 mention money or contracts → ESCALATE to you
- 2 look like spam → BLOCK (don't reply)
You stay in control. AI does the work. Nothing slips through.
Who is ARQERA for?
Individuals
You want AI to help with email, calendar, and tasks — but you don't want surprises. ARQERA lets you set boundaries: "Ask me before spending money" or "Never share my home address."
Teams
Your team uses AI tools. ARQERA ensures everyone follows the same policies. When AI needs approval, it goes to the right person.
Companies
You need compliance. Auditors ask: "What did your AI do?" With ARQERA, you have a complete, tamper-proof record of every AI action.
Developers
You're building AI features. ARQERA's API lets you add governance to any system in minutes.

The free plan includes 10,000 evaluations per month. That's enough to try everything.
Common Questions
Do I need to be technical? No. The dashboard is designed for everyone. Developers can use the API; everyone else uses the visual interface.
Will it slow down my AI? No. Evaluations happen in under 15 milliseconds. You won't notice.
Can I see what AI is doing? Yes. Every action is logged. You can review approvals, see blocked actions, and export audit reports.
What if I don't like a decision? You can override any decision. You're always in control. ARQERA learns from your overrides.
Is my data safe? Yes. ARQERA is SOC 2 compliant. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never train AI on your data.
