    halo-record
    2026

    Open, tamper-evident runtime records for AI agents using the Halo Runtime Record format. Includes a reference implementation for recording, verifying, and witnessing agent actions.

    Market Position

    Halo AI differentiates by focusing on tamper-evident 'evidence' for compliance rather than just debugging telemetry. It aims to be the 'SOC 2 for AI agents' equivalent in terms of record-keeping.

    Leadership

    Founders

    BK

    Brian Kuan

    Previously at Vanta (Security & Compliance) and Samsara (IoT/Operations). Employee #4 at Spot AI. Experience in Product Marketing and GTM Strategy. Y Combinator alumnus (2025/2026).

    BK

    Brian Kuan

    Founder

    Ex-Vanta and Samsara. Expert in security, compliance, and GTM strategy for startups.

    Founding Story

    Security reviews already ask AI questions next to the SOC 2 checklist, but today written assurances still pass. Brian Kuan started Halo AI on the bet that verifiable evidence will soon be required for AI agent compliance.

    Business Model

    Revenue Model

    Open source / Free for implementation (Apache-2.0). Potential future commercial offerings around witnessing and reporting infrastructure.

    Pricing Tiers
