Perform actual actions accurately and safely
new york, February 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — barndoor.ai released today Venaiis a platform that provides AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT with controlled, permissioned access to everyday workplace applications including Salesforce, Jira, Google, Notion, and more, allowing teams and individuals to operate AI agents with appropriate controls, permissions, and guardrails.
Venai
AI adoption is rapidly increasing in personal and workplace use, but most users are limited to basic conversational AI and are unable to connect it to the applications and tools they use every day where real work is done. When integrations exist, they are often limited to shallow functionality or read-only actions that don’t fully address what your team really needs.
Venai Resolve gaps left by existing solutions.
- Covers a wider range of apps: Many AI platforms offer limited workplace applications. Those that do exist have limited functionality. Venai offers a number of popular out-of-the-box applications, including CRM, communications, and productivity platforms.
- Action-oriented, not just read-only: Venn.ai’s integrations are designed to support the real-world work and actions your team performs across the apps they rely on, such as updating records, sending messages, and searching across multiple data sources. This goes beyond read-only access and simple queries that limit other integrations.
- Work where you already work: Other standalone AI platforms require users to switch completely to another proprietary application, which may not use the latest AI models. Many charge a premium on top of what users already pay for their AI subscription. Venn.ai works within the AI tools people already use, so there’s no need to learn a separate UI, and there’s no question about whether you’re using the latest models.

“People want AI to do things across the apps they use every day, but without the right controls, that’s dangerous,” said Oren Michels, co-founder and CEO of Barndoor. “Venn.ai empowers everyone, not just engineering and IT teams, to use agent AI securely. We’re putting security controls directly in the hands of our users.”
Agent AI security for everyone
Venn.ai is designed for people who are already using AI in their work but want better results and reduced risk. Marketers, sales teams, customer support, finance, HR, operations, and project managers can use Venn.ai to create agents with real business context while maintaining clear boundaries.
Today, with Venn.ai, business users can:
- Safer agent experiments beyond generative AI. Venn.ai lets you experiment with agent workflows without giving your agents unrestricted access to sensitive systems.
- Built-in human authority. Venn.ai addresses what many AI tools overlook by telling you what it’s going to do before you do it. Venn.ai’s “Write” feature pauses before an action, giving users a chance to review and confirm before proceeding. You always control what your agents can see and do, ensuring nothing happens without human oversight.
- Confidence to innovate. Anyone can test agent workflows in a real business context without worrying about unintended actions or data leaks.
availability
Venn.ai is currently available in free early access, with paid plans launching at a later date. Barndoor encourages early adopters to try out agent workflows, share their feedback, and help shape the future of responsible AI use in the workplace. To learn more or get started, visit Venai.
