About Tavro

We Built the Standard for Agent Business Context

As AI agents proliferate across the enterprise, organizations face a governance gap: agents operate without the business context, risk profile, or regulatory metadata that compliance and oversight require.

Tavro was founded to solve this. We created the Agent Metadata Specification — an open standard for how agents describe themselves — and built an open-source catalog and commercial enterprise platform on top of it.

Open by Design

AMS is a digital public good. We believe open standards are the only way to achieve true agent interoperability across the enterprise.

Industry-First

Our specifications are shaped by practitioners from banking, healthcare, energy, and other regulated sectors — not just technologists.

Risk-Centric

Every product decision at Tavro is made through the lens of risk. We build for CROs, compliance teams, and regulators — not just developers.
