Six screens. About four minutes. You'll see how Tether classifies intent on every outbound AI request, applies your policy, and gets out of the way when intent is clean — and whether it solves a problem you're already paying for in other ways.
Tether's five-layer pipeline installs on the developer machine, intercepts all outbound AI traffic system-wide, and applies your policy before anything leaves.
Pick a scenario. Pick how strict you want to be. Hit Run. The right panel shows the audit entry your security team would actually see.
Click any prompt to run it live through the simulator with the matching enforcement mode pre-selected. This is exactly what Tether sees, decides, and logs.
Hard block on live credentials. Coach on proprietary code. Watermark on clipboard exports. Mix and match — build the policy your security team would actually defend.
Permits the action. No user interruption. Logged for audit purposes.
Permits the action but surfaces a policy notification to the developer. Logged with elevated attention.
Interrupts with contextual guidance before allowing the developer to proceed. Promotes deliberate decisions.
Requires the developer to provide a business justification before the action is permitted. Justification is logged.
Permits but embeds a silent identity marker for traceability. Used for clipboard and export controls.
Denies the action entirely. Returns an error to the requesting application. Logged with full context.
Real numbers your security team can defend at audit time — request volume, blocks, coaching moments, and fleet posture. Live, not lagging.

Tether Connect is self-hosted. You pay for the software license — not per developer. As your team grows, your enforcement cost doesn't.
