Barndoor AI has launched Venn.ai, a standalone platform that lets AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT perform permissioned, action-oriented tasks inside core business applications including Salesforce, Jira, Google Workspace, Notion, and Slack. Built on Barndoor’s expertise in AI access controls and governance, Venn.ai is designed to give non-technical business users a way to run agentic AI workflows with tightly managed permissions, guardrails, and human sign-off.
The product targets a key adoption gap: most enterprises use AI in a conversational, read-only mode and cannot safely let models execute updates, orchestrate workflows, or interact across multiple systems. Early adopters in functions like customer success, product management, finance, marketing, and executive leadership are using Venn.ai to automate tasks such as customer health reporting, pipeline analysis, sprint planning, financial reporting, and marketing performance reviews across several connected apps.
A central design feature is Barndoor’s “write functionality” control, which forces Venn.ai to pause and present intended actions to the user before execution, preserving human authority and reducing the risk of unintended data changes or exposure. The platform also supports a broad catalog of workplace tools via a universal MCP endpoint and operates directly within existing AI interfaces, avoiding separate proprietary UIs and premium markups on model access.
Strategically, Venn.ai extends Barndoor’s position as a “control plane” for the agentic enterprise by moving beyond IT-centric security tooling into daily business workflows, potentially expanding its addressable customer base across sales, marketing, operations, HR, and finance. The service is currently available in free early access, with paid plans to follow, allowing Barndoor to refine capabilities and integration depth based on user feedback while building a pipeline of enterprise demand for secure, action-capable AI agents.
CEO and co-founder Oren Michels framed the launch as a response to growing enterprise appetite for AI that can execute real work without compromising security, saying that Venn.ai aims to give business teams the freedom to experiment with agents while giving IT and security teams the safeguards they require. As additional integrations and features roll out, the product could become a key enabler for companies seeking productivity gains from agentic AI, while maintaining highly governed access to critical systems and data.
