Credo AI
AI governance platform for policy, inventory, and oversight of models and AI use cases.
Governance, risk, and AI program owners who need a system of record for use cases and policy.
Teams looking for a model firewall, or companies with no named owner for AI policy.
Founded by Navrina Singh.
Verdict
Credo AI is a good fit for organizations that need to register AI use cases, attach policies, and keep a living inventory for governance. Pricing is typically enterprise and sales-led, aimed at programs with a named owner rather than a single team tool. Clients who treat the register as the source of truth get value; the product follows the program rather than creating a risk function alone.

“Through our partnership with Credo AI we get this amazing centralized platform that helps us keep up with annual technical audits.”
“We finally have an inventory of AI uses that isn't a spreadsheet from 2023. Credo didn't invent our program, but it gave it a home.”
“Policy attachment and use-case register for a regulated business unit. Auditors asked better questions once it existed.”
“It won't create a risk function for you. We learned that after buying software before hiring the owner.”
