What It Does
The Explorer Agent is your organization’s AI discovery specialist. It passively maps how AI tools and services are being used — from browser-based LLM platforms to locally installed applications — and builds a living catalog of your AI landscape. With the Explorer Agent, you get:- Complete visibility into which AI services employees are using
- Risk insights based on detected usage patterns
- Service catalog that stays current as new tools are adopted
- Actionable intelligence to inform governance decisions
How It Works
The Explorer Agent collects data through multiple methods, then correlates and enriches findings into a unified view.Data Collection
The agent gathers AI usage data through its collection methods — browser monitoring and local device scanning.
Service Discovery
Detected interactions and applications are matched against Velatir’s service catalog of 4,000+ AI platforms.
Analysis & Enrichment
Usage patterns are analyzed to surface insights: which services are most used, which pose compliance risks, and where shadow AI might exist.
Data Collection Methods
The Explorer Agent uses two complementary approaches to build a complete picture of AI usage:Browser Extension
Monitors LLM interactions across 4,000+ AI platforms directly in the browser. Captures prompts, responses, and usage patterns in real time.
Local Detection
Scans managed devices for installed AI applications, IDE extensions, and running AI processes. Deployed via MDM platforms.
Service Catalog & Insights
The Explorer Agent feeds directly into Velatir’s Service Catalog and App Insights dashboard:- Service Catalog — A living inventory of all AI services detected across your organization, enriched with compliance metadata, risk scores, and usage frequency.
- App Insights — Aggregated view of AI application findings across your device fleet, showing which tools are installed where and how actively they’re used.
