FirstHelm - Steer your AI agents, don't just deploy them — a framework-agnostic AI agent control plane with live monitoring, guardrails, approvals, and EU AI Act / ISO 42001 compliance exports.

Hi Product Hunt
I'm Jason, and I built FirstHelm because AI agents got really good at doing things — calling APIs, sending emails, spending money — while the tools for keeping an eye on them stayed stuck in the "dashboard you glance at once a week" era.
FirstHelm is a control plane for your AI agents. It sits between your agent fleet (n8n, OpenAI, Anthropic, CrewAI, LangChain, Copilot Studio, or any custom agent — 13 platform guides, no code needed to start) and the rest of the world. Every action gets logged, checked against your rules, and — when it's expensive, risky, or irreversible — held for a human approval. Unanswered approvals expire safely: silence is not consent.
Why it matters now: the EU AI Act is fully enforceable as of August 2026, which means "we trusted the agent" is no longer an answer. FirstHelm gives you the audit trail, the oversight evidence, and compliance exports mapped to EU AI Act, ISO 42001, SOC 2, UK GDPR, NIST AI RMF and FCA expectations — generated from your own live data.
What you get on the free tier: 2 agents, live monitoring, guardrails and the approvals queue — no credit card.
Our launch offer for PH hunters: first month of the Starter plan free with the audit-trail export unlocked. Use code HUNT (we'll honour it through launch week).
I'm here all day — ask me anything about agent governance, the AI Act, or why approvals are the best UX pattern nobody talks about.
