Question 1

What is Kanawai AI?

Accepted Answer

Kanawai AI is an enterprise platform that gives you complete visibility, governance, and security over every AI tool in your organization. From one platform, you can see who is using what AI, how much it costs, whether it's compliant, and what data it touches, so you can make informed decisions and enforce policy automatically.

Question 2

What does "Know Your AI" mean?

Accepted Answer

Know Your AI is the principle that enterprises need the same level of visibility and control over AI tools that they have over traditional software. Kanawai AI discovers every AI tool, model, and agent in use across your environment, maps it to users via identity providers, and continuously monitors for compliance, spend, and security risks.

Question 3

How does AI Token Spend tracking work?

Accepted Answer

Kanawai AI aggregates AI token consumption across your cloud service providers (AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure) and breaks down usage by model, by person, and by department. You get a clear picture of what you're spending on AI, where the money is going, and actionable recommendations to reduce costs through model right-sizing.

Question 4

What AI compliance frameworks does Kanawai support?

Accepted Answer

Kanawai AI continuously monitors your AI deployments against major regulatory and compliance frameworks including the EU AI Act, FedRAMP High / Class D, NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF), HIPAA, and GDPR. It classifies risk, flags gaps, and generates audit-ready compliance reports automatically.

Question 5

How does AI Inventory work?

Accepted Answer

Kanawai AI discovers all AI tools, agents, and platforms in use across your environment. With identity provider integration (SSO/SAML), it maps who is using what AI tool with what data, detects unsanctioned tools, and automates security controls like DLP policy enforcement and access revocation.

Question 6

What is Shadow AI, and how does Kanawai detect and remediate it?

Accepted Answer

Shadow AI refers to unauthorized AI tools used within your organization without IT or compliance approval. Kanawai AI continuously monitors for these tools, automatically revokes access, removes the shadow AI from your environment, and creates an immutable evidence artifact with a full chain of custody, preserved for audit and insurance purposes.

Question 7

How do Model Recommendations reduce AI costs?

Accepted Answer

Kanawai AI analyzes your token consumption patterns per model and identifies opportunities to save money. For example, it may recommend routing summarization tasks from GPT-4.1 to Gemini Flash, or shifting routine workflows from Opus 5 to Sonnet 5, reserving frontier models for complex engineering work. Recommendations are delivered with projected savings to your CAIO and department leads.

Question 8

Does Kanawai AI require technical expertise to deploy?

Accepted Answer

No. Kanawai AI is engineered for rapid deployment in any enterprise environment. We don't require new software installations or agents on your operating systems. It securely connects to your existing cloud providers, identity systems, and AI platforms. We deploy in minutes, not months.

Question 9

How does Kanawai AI protect my data?

Accepted Answer

Kanawai AI takes an uncompromising approach to AI data privacy and security. Customer data ownership is absolute, and no customer data is ever used to train generative AI models. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard protocols. We adhere to SOC 2, HIPAA, and NIST cybersecurity standards.

Question 10

How do you integrate with third-party providers and applications?

Accepted Answer

Kanawai AI integrates with multiple cloud service providers and SaaS applications using industry-standard webhooks, APIs, MCP servers, identity providers, and other secure integration methods. We don't rely on proprietary technology or add complexity to your existing systems.
