Gateway defines the zero-persistence category in two places at once: Gateway Sessions and Gateway Agents. Both run on the SDIP-6™ protocol, inside your own Azure tenant, and both close every unit of work with a Certificate of Incineration™.
Full-strength AI for the whole workforce — on a clock that cannot be turned back.
Taking the SDIP-6™ protocol and building a session state that scales from 5,000 to 50,000 concurrent users with zero added latency was the engineering challenge. Doing it while every one of those users works with frontier AI at maximum strength — that was the point.
The answer is a session that behaves like a sealed room with a clock on the wall. State lives only in volatile memory. Every session is minted with a termination deadline at the moment it opens — controlled, time-boxed incineration — and when that clock runs out, the room and everything in it is gone, with a receipt to prove it.
No persistence layer, no bottleneck. Session state is held entirely in volatile memory and scales horizontally — there is no disk in the request path, no database to shard, no cache to warm. The architecture that makes retention impossible is the same architecture that makes it fast: what is never written down never has to be looked up.
Every session's deadline is minted once, at creation. Users work at full strength inside the window; when it closes, SDIP-6™ overwrites the session buffers in six passes before the memory is reclaimed. Custody is split across keys that cannot do each other's jobs — no single credential can both run a session and prolong it, and on the Agency tier the deadline authority is a separate enforcer entirely.
Every session ends in a Certificate of Incineration™. A SHA-256 signed record of when the session opened, when the clock closed it, and that sanitization ran — verifiable by an auditor or a court without asking us anything.
Vital in today's enterprise for one simple reason: Shadow AI.
AI agents are multiplying inside the enterprise faster than any governance process can track them. Employees wire assistants into their workflows, teams embed model calls into scripts and services, and every one of those connections carries corporate data to an endpoint nobody vetted, under retention terms nobody read. That is Shadow AI — and you cannot find it by looking, because by definition it runs where you are not looking.
You will not stop agents from being built, and you should not want to. What you can do is make the governed path the fastest one. Gateway Agents is a drop-in endpoint your agents and services call instead of calling providers directly — no SDK, no rewrite — and once the traffic flows through it, Shadow AI stops being invisible and starts being architecture.
Every agent call crosses a single, governed choke point. You see which workloads are calling which models, under which tier of control — a live inventory of your organization's machine-to-AI traffic, without retaining a byte of its content.
Machine traffic doesn't need memory, so it gets none. An agent sends a request, Gateway brokers it to an admitted provider, the response returns with a signed receipt, and the call's working state is destroyed. There is no session to leak because there is no session. Agents that genuinely need context get a sealed, bounded Gateway Session — same clock, same receipt.
An agent cannot be talked into calling the wrong endpoint. On GovCon and Agency tiers, routing is binary-locked to American frontier providers — the lock lives in the shipped binary and is SBOM-verifiable, not in a configuration file someone can edit. API keys stay with you.
Employees work with frontier models in a zero-persistence workspace inside your tenant. Every session ends with a Certificate of Incineration™.
