Tracking AI-Generated Applications

AI is not only being used inside tools—it is being used to create new applications.

Peridot tracks these AI-generated applications to ensure they are visible, governed, and auditable.

What are AI-generated applications?

AI-generated applications include:

• Internal tools built using AI platforms

• Automated workflows with AI decision-making

• Scripts or services that call model APIs

• Embedded AI features deployed in production

These applications often operate outside traditional application governance.

Why this matters

AI-generated applications introduce new risks:

• Unreviewed logic

• Uncontrolled data access

• Hidden dependencies on models

• Lack of auditability

Many organizations do not track these systems at all.

How Peridot identifies applications

Peridot detects applications through:

• Integration signals

• API usage patterns

• Workflow execution traces

• Cloud and system logs

Applications are then mapped to:

• Workspaces

• Environments

• Data flows

Governing applications

Once identified, applications can be:

• Monitored for activity

• Associated with policies

• Included in incident workflows

• Audited for compliance

Applications as part of inventory

Applications are not separate from inventory.

They are a critical part of understanding how AI operates across your organization.
