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.
AMS is a digital public good. We believe open standards are the only way to achieve true agent interoperability across the enterprise.
Our specifications are shaped by practitioners from banking, healthcare, energy, and other regulated sectors — not just technologists.
Every product decision at Tavro is made through the lens of risk. We build for CROs, compliance teams, and regulators — not just developers.
