Overview
Raleigh company founded in 2024 by Dustin Allen (CEO) and Hearsch Jariwala (CTO), who previously built the AI productivity platform Caffeine. Primordial Ventures portfolio company. Its focus is governing what AI agents may do across apps, tools and devices.
Product
Emu is a free guardian agent for individual users: it sits between the user's AI and the internet, checks what an agent tries to do (spending money, sending email, deleting files) against rules the user sets, and asks before anything irreversible; early access opens October 12, 2026. Warden is the team version that puts shared rules on every Emu in an organization. A Trinitite SDK lets developers build on the same layer.
