Self-learning pipelines
Pipelines that get sharper every run. Every execution is measured, evaluated and fed back — so your automations improve over time instead of going stale.
The control plane for AI operations
Your business, accelerated.
Cairn26 helps organisations turn AI potential into practical business performance. We deliver AI-enabled workflow automation with the tools, skills and oversight needed to deploy AI safely, consistently and at scale.
Cairn26 does not simply build AI workflows. We provide the control layer organisations need to manage all their AI investments safely, consistently and at scale.
Immutable audit trail
Dual sign-off
Semantic firewall
KMS-encrypted
SIEM export
Built for regulated operations.
What you get
Four building blocks. One compounding system.
Agents
Caged, governed agents. Foreign AI runtimes run inside a blast-radius fence with a kill switch and a full audit trail. Capability without exposure.
Skills
A compounding library of reusable skills. Build a capability once, govern it in one place, reuse it across every pipeline.
Memories
Institutional memory that compounds. Your operations remember context, decisions and outcomes — the system grows more useful the longer it runs.
The platform
Build it in Studio. Govern it from Fleet.
Studio
Build, deploy and operate AI pipelines on a four-primitive canvas. Apple-simple to author; pop the bonnet on any node to see its strategy, cost and latency. Studio is the platform: recipes, skills, capture, smart documents and more, all on one surface.

Output
Fleet
See and govern everything that runs. Live status across every pipeline and agent, who deployed what and why, real spend to the penny, and four-eyes control on anything that touches a customer. Your whole AI estate on one pane of glass.

The flagship · Cairn:Forge
Don’t build pipelines. Forge a specialist.
Assemble an AI crew that gives you superpowers. Choose a character, equip its capabilities, pick its mind — the pipelines hum invisibly underneath. The crew works for you, and reports up to you. Augmentation, not replacement.
-
01
Choose your character
Start from a role archetype or a blank slate. Each specialist gets a distinct, on-brand crest, a name, and a one-line purpose — a team member, not a config file.
-
02
Equip the loadout
Capabilities snap into slots. Base Business — messaging, Word, Excel — ships pre-installed; add specialist bundles like installing apps. Equipping is installing.
-
03
Choose the mind
Pick the brain: Fast, Balanced or Frontier. Every model OpenRouter offers sits behind Advanced — even a different mind per capability. Never raw model-name soup.
-
04
Deploy to your crew
One confident click and your specialist joins the Crew Map as a living node — working, self-improving, and reporting its value up to you.
Your crew, your superpowers. They work for you — and report up to you.
Banking-grade by default
Governance isn’t a tier. It’s the floor.
Immutable, hash-chained audit trail
Every sensitive action tamper-evident, like a bank’s ledger.
Semantic Firewall
Non-compliant changes refused at the door, before they’re written, with the policy reason stated.
Dual sign-off (four-eyes)
Protected pipelines need two named approvers; self-approval is structurally refused.
Full deployment provenance
Who deployed what, when and why, linked to the exact change and the checks it passed.
Least privilege & identity-based access
Every person and machine a distinct keyed principal; every grant on the audit trail.
Full cost accountability
Real cloud + model spend in one ledger; every pound attributable.
KMS-encrypted credentials
Customer secrets in hardware-backed key management, never in code.
Governed rollback
Every version restorable, and restoring is itself policy-gated.
Honest by design
If a fact isn’t recorded, the console says so. The posture an auditor expects.
Every control is a running detector, not a prose policy. Hand your auditor a URL.
Platform independent · Performance led
Platform Independent. Performance Led.
Large AI platforms are built to drive adoption within their own ecosystems. Cairn26 is built to optimise performance across the whole AI estate. We help organisations use the right tools for the job, control deployment across multiple providers, and continually improve value, cost and operational performance.
We begin with focused use cases, solve real business problems quickly, and build out from there. Cairn26 is designed to deliver measurable value early, without requiring a major transformation programme or a two-year wait for return on investment.
A closer look
Author it, govern it, and watch it sharpen.
The same control plane, from the canvas you build on to the pane you run the estate from.
Studio
Author on a canvas anyone can read
Build pipelines on four primitives — Source, Action, Decide, Output. Apple-simple to author; pop the bonnet on any node to see its strategy, cost and latency.
Fleet
Govern the whole estate from one pane
Fleet shows every pipeline and agent live: who deployed what and why, real spend to the penny, four-eyes on anything that touches a customer.
Self-learning
It gets sharper every run
Every execution is measured and fed back. Skills and memories compound, so your operations improve over time instead of going stale.
The numbers
Board-ready by default, not a slide deck.
Every operation is measured, costed and governed — so the picture you hand your board is the same live data the system runs on. Figures shown are illustrative.

How it works
Four steps from your stack to governed AI operations.
01
Connect your stack
Plug into the AI models, cloud and pipelines you already run. We integrate, we don’t replace.
02
Build in Studio
Compose pipelines, agents and skills on the canvas. Ten minutes to a running pipeline.
03
Govern & deploy
Four-eyes sign-off, semantic-firewall change control, full provenance — then ship.
04
Learn & scale
Pipelines self-improve from every run; memories compound; you scale without adding risk.
Pricing
Start on one pipeline. Scale to the whole estate.
Cairn26 is built for regulated operations, so we scope to your perimeter rather than quoting a list price. Here’s the shape.

In the field
What regulated teams want from AI operations.
Representative of the value our customers describe — illustrative, not attributed, until quotes are approved for use.
“The governance isn’t a bolt-on — it’s the floor. We could hand an auditor a URL instead of a slide deck, and that changed the whole conversation internally.”
“Four-eyes on anything that touches a customer, with self-approval structurally refused. That’s the control I’d been asking every AI vendor for.”
“They sat on top of the stack we already run instead of replacing it. We had a governed pipeline live in days, and it’s been getting sharper every run since.”
