About Lelu AI
We are building an authorization and security platform for AI agents.
Lelu helps companies safely deploy autonomous AI systems by providing real-time access control, human oversight, and complete audit trails.
Company Overview
Abenezer Getachew
Founder & Software Engineer
Software engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable distributed systems and production infrastructure.
Founded Lelu AI to solve the critical problem of AI agent security. Passionate about making autonomous systems safe and trustworthy for production deployment.
The Problem
AI agents are powerful enough to take real actions—processing refunds, modifying databases, sending emails, making business decisions.
But traditional authorization systems weren't built for AI. They assume deterministic, human-driven actions.
AI agents operate with uncertainty, make probabilistic decisions, and can be manipulated through prompt injection attacks. Companies need a security layer designed specifically for autonomous AI.
Why We Built Lelu
AI agents are moving from research prototypes to production systems. Companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google are releasing increasingly capable models that can take real-world actions.
But with this power comes risk:
An AI agent with database access could accidentally delete critical data
A customer support agent could issue unauthorized refunds
A code-writing agent could introduce security vulnerabilities
Lelu provides the security infrastructure that makes AI agents safe for production—allowing companies to move fast without breaking things.
What We Built
Lelu is a complete authorization engine that evaluates every AI agent action in real-time.
Confidence-Aware Control
Automatically routes low-confidence decisions to human reviewers, preventing costly mistakes.
Prompt Injection Defense
Detects and blocks malicious prompts before they can manipulate agent behavior.
Policy Enforcement
Define what agents can and cannot do using simple YAML or advanced Rego policies.
Complete Audit Trail
Every decision is logged with full context for compliance and debugging.
Available SDKs & Integration
Companies integrate Lelu using our SDKs for TypeScript, Python, and Go. All agent actions are evaluated through our authorization engine before execution.
Who We Serve
Enterprise Development Teams
Companies building AI agents for customer support, internal automation, data analysis, and business operations. Teams that need to deploy AI safely while maintaining security and compliance standards.
AI Platform Providers
Companies offering AI agent platforms to their customers who need built-in authorization and security features without building them from scratch.
Regulated Industries
Financial services, healthcare, and other industries requiring strict audit trails, human oversight, and compliance documentation for AI-driven decisions.
Real-World Use Cases
Customer Support Automation
AI agents handle routine support tickets automatically, but high-value actions like refunds or account modifications require human approval based on confidence thresholds.
Database Operations
AI agents can query databases freely but destructive operations (DELETE, DROP) are blocked or require explicit human review, preventing catastrophic mistakes.
Multi-Agent Systems
Parent agents delegate tasks to specialized sub-agents with scoped, time-limited permissions—ensuring the principle of least privilege across agent swarms.
Technology
Built as a modern, cloud-native platform with enterprise-grade reliability:

Mission
Make AI agents safe and trustworthy for production use. We believe autonomous AI will transform how businesses operate, but only if companies can deploy it with confidence and control.
Open Source
Lelu is open source (MIT License) and available on GitHub. Security infrastructure should be transparent, auditable, and community-driven. Companies can self-host or use managed services.
