Air – Open-source black box for AI agents (tamper-evident audit trails)

SMRTR summary

AIR Blackbox Gateway serves as a "flight recorder" for AI systems, creating tamper-evident audit trails that track every AI agent decision without exposing sensitive data. Unlike traditional observability platforms focused on system performance, AIR provides legal-grade accountability by storing encrypted records in user-controlled vaults and maintaining an HMAC-SHA256 chain that breaks if modified. The open-source system targets platform engineers and compliance teams who need to prove exactly what their AI agents did for regulatory requirements, enterprise deals, or SOC 2 certification.
