Peridot Documentation
1. Overview
You cannot govern what you cannot see.
Most companies are already using AI across their stack.
They just don’t know where, how, or with what data.
Peridot makes every AI interaction visible, controllable, and enforceable.
2. The Problem
AI adoption is happening faster than control.
Teams are:
pasting sensitive data into tools
building apps outside governance
connecting models to production systems without oversight
The result:
no visibility
no policy enforcement
no audit trail
👉 This isn’t experimentation anymore. It’s operational risk.
3. What Peridot Does
Peridot is the control layer for enterprise AI.
It:
discovers AI usage across your organization
tracks data movement in and out of AI systems
monitors AI-generated applications
enforces policies across models, integrations, and workflows
4. The System (Core Model)
Peridot operates across five layers:
Discover — what AI tools and apps exist
Understand — how data flows and what it contains
Control — define policies and routing rules
Enforce — apply rules across systems
Automate — scale governance without manual effort
5. Why we built Peridot
“We’ve seen this across multiple teams — AI adoption moves faster than governance. By the time leadership asks questions, the system is already out of control.”
6. Getting Started
If you’re new:
Start here to understand:
👉 Goal: go from zero → first governed setup
7. Build AI Apps
Most AI apps fail because they’re built incorrectly.
This section teaches:
how to start with business context
how to prompt systems correctly
how to iterate safely
how to move from prototype to production
👉 This is your builder operating system
8. Integrations
AI apps only matter if they connect to real systems.
Peridot integrates with:
cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
data platforms (Snowflake)
identity systems (Okta)
operational tools (Slack, Jira, ServiceNow, Datadog, PagerDuty)
AI providers (OpenAI and others)
👉 This is where apps become useful
9. Governance & Control
This is where most companies fail.
Peridot enables:
👉 From chaos → control
10. Deployment & Security
Enterprise adoption requires trust.
Peridot supports:
11. Outcomes
With Peridot, teams move from:
unknown AI usage → full visibility
uncontrolled data flow → governed systems
isolated experiments → production-ready applications
12. What’s Next
Start with:
Getting Started → if you’re new
Build AI Apps → if you’re building
Governance & Control → if you’re responsible for oversight
