Exogram vs NovaKit

Exogram and NovaKit are both inference engines & infra tracked by AIDiveForge. Below is a side-by-side comparison of pricing, capabilities, platforms, and ownership — sourced from each tool's live website and verified before publishing.

Exogram

Exogram is an execution governance layer that intercepts AI agent actions — payments, database writes, customer emails, record updates — and applies a policy decision before anything hits your infrastructure. The vendor describes a four-way enforcement decision: allow, deny, escalate, or log. Policy rules are checked at runtime, not after the fact, which means a $25,000 invoice approval blocked against a $1,000 limit never reaches your payment system. The immutable audit trail is positioned for SOC 2, HIPAA, and financial compliance workflows. The tool is not itself an agent runner — it assumes you already have an agent; it governs what that agent is allowed to touch.

NovaKit

NovaKit is a browser-installable, local-first AI workspace that connects to 13+ providers — Claude, GPT, Gemini, and others — using keys you supply. The…

Pros	Runtime policy enforcement at the tool-call boundary, so unauthorized payments and database mutations are blocked before they execute rather than flagged after the damage is done. Four-way enforcement decisions — allow, deny, escalate, log — which means regulated workflows get a human review step without building a custom approval queue on top of your agent stack. Immutable audit logs positioned for SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance, so teams in regulated industries have a defensible record of every action an agent attempted and what decision was returned. Pre-built integrations with LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, Vercel AI SDK, and LlamaIndex, so teams already running these frameworks add a governance layer without rewriting their agent code. An open protocol spec (EAAP) published as RFC-0001, so teams who need to audit, extend, or independently verify the governance model are not working against a black-box contract.	—
Cons	Exogram governs actions but does not orchestrate agents — teams that need branching logic, memory, or coordination between multiple agents still maintain a separate orchestration layer, which means adding Exogram adds a second system to debug when an escalation fires unexpectedly. No self-hosted deployment option is described on the vendor page, which means teams whose compliance requirements mandate on-premises data residency — common in financial services and healthcare — cannot use Exogram without routing agent traffic through external infrastructure; those teams move to building policy enforcement into their own API gateway instead. The tool launched in approximately May 2025, so production case studies at scale are not yet publicly available; teams evaluating for high-volume payment workflows are working from architecture documentation and demos rather than documented incident records from comparable deployments.	—

Bottom line

Only Exogram exposes a public API. Choose based on which difference matters most for your workflow.
