APIR vs Credo AI
Credo AI provides AI governance: policy registries, risk dashboards and assessment workflows to track your AI systems against frameworks.
APIR is a different category
APIR is not a compliance tool. APIR is the verification layer for AI agents: the cryptographic trust infrastructure that issues a signed, independently-verifiable proof that a specific agent is what it claims to be and behaved the way it should.
The agent-layer gap
Credo AI is a governance dashboard, it helps you write and track policy. It does not continuously monitor a deployed agent's behavior, produce a tamper-evident evidence chain, issue a cryptographically-signed credential, or let a buyer verify an agent with no login.
Where Credo AI is strong: A solid governance layer for cataloguing AI use-cases and mapping them to policy.
Credo AI is governance, the policy and the dashboard. APIR is the verification layer underneath it: the runtime proof, the signed credential, and the public record that the policy was actually met.
