Merge launches Agent Handler for Employees as an IT gatekeeper for workplace AI agents
Merge API Inc., a platform provider delivering connective infrastructure for artificial intelligence to business data and tools, launched Agent Handler for Employees, easing the strain on information technology teams.
With today’s release, Merge is offering a product that connects to identity providers, imports employees and groups, maps them to approved tools and actions across AI vendors, and applies data loss prevention and logging controls for every employee session.
This provides a necessary control layer that gives IT teams a safety net, allowing employees to connect to approved tools while management can be sure the situation is “handled.” Previously, employees were more likely to bring their own tools or call upon external models and services, creating unregulated AI use inside the enterprise. In regulated industries such as finance, healthcare and government agencies, that could be disastrous.
“Agent Handler for Employees makes it really easy for businesses to unleash unlimited tools across their employee base and know that they’re doing it securely,” co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Gil Feig told SiliconANGLE in an interview.
