One-Liner

A service helping Chief AI Officers at large European companies discover all AI systems in use (including shadow AI) as step one of EU AI Act compliance.

AI Thinking Process

Chief AI Officer pain: email all department heads for AI inventory — contradictory responses, shadow AI undetected, manual audit costs $50-100K. Need automated discovery across entire organization.

KILLED: G006 + G035. Nudge Security launched Shadow AI Discovery in 2025. Grip Security detects SaaS AI tools. OneTrust AI Governance, Credo AI include cataloging. Window closed 2024-2025. Occupied by shadow IT vendors extending to AI.

G006 + G035 both fundamental. Shadow IT vendors pivoted to AI. Kill confirmed.

Kill Reason

G006 Feature Absorption + G035 Window Closed. Shadow IT discovery platforms (Nudge Security, Grip Security) already extended to cover AI tool discovery in 2024-2025. AI governance platforms (OneTrust, Credo AI) include AI system cataloging. Window for standalone AI discovery tools closed.
