Proposal
AI proposes candidates — never truth, never authority.
Models and executors can suggest work. UseSteady treats that output as a candidate until a human approves. Nothing an AI produces reaches an executor without the gate.

Why approval comes first
UseSteady helps organizations trust AI-generated work.
Most tools focus on running the work. UseSteady separates proposal, human approval, and evidence — without collapsing those roles. A perfectly executed plan is still wrong if nobody approved the right request.
Propose → Approve → Prove → Lineage
Propose
AI proposes a candidate — zero authority until a human decides.
Approve
You Approve or Reject at the live pending-approval gate.
Proof
See what was approved and what followed — evidence, not self-report.
Lineage
Inspect the durable record the organization can trust later.

Type your own request.
The hero shows a preview. This is the full flow — your input, your approval, your result. Nothing executes on this page, but everything here is exactly how the real app works.

That's exactly what UseSteady does on your real codebase.
Every run recorded, replayable, and verifiable. We're selecting the first cohort now.
Review before execute
Your words become an exact request — that you review before anything runs.
UseSteady compiles your words into a reviewable request and shows it to you first. If it misread what you wanted, you catch it here — before execution, not after. The runtime then runs only what you approved.

How it works
Approve before it runs. Prove after.
The Portal path is the product lead: request → live approval → proof → lineage. AI proposes. Humans approve. UseSteady governs.
01
Request
Start in the Portal. Describe the work in plain language — no commands, no flags, no scripts.
02
Approve
Review the live pending-approval gate. Approve or Reject — nothing runs without your explicit sign-off.
03
Proof
After a decision, open proof for what was approved and what followed. No invented "executed" without evidence.
04
Lineage
Inspect the durable record. Finish with evidence the organization can trust later.
The problem it solves
What this replaces
Most tools execute. They don't explain what actually ran.
Three patterns that quietly cause outages, drift, and lost trust — and what UseSteady does instead.
Before
- ✕
Scripts you didn't verify
They ran. Something changed. You're not sure what. There's no trace.
- ✕
Automation you can't audit
Schedulers and CI jobs mutate state with no record of what they decided.
- ✕
AI that runs without review
Models that interpret broadly and act immediately — no gate, no approval.
- ✕
Commands executed before you see them
You see the output. You never confirmed what ran to produce it.
With UseSteady
- ✓
Every action is explicit
Governed requests only. Typed, auditable, policy-checked before planning.
- ✓
Full audit trail
Append-only timeline. Every step recorded, exportable, and replayable.
- ✓
Policy gate before every mutation
Inspect every step. Approve before it runs. Timeline and history stay auditable.
- ✓
Nothing runs without your confirmation
You reviewed exactly what will execute — before it executes.
The model
Propose. Approve. Prove. Lineage.
This is the order UseSteady enforces. Human approval is sole authority — evidence comes after the decision, not instead of it.
AI proposes. Humans approve. UseSteady governs.
Approval
Nothing runs without passing the human approval gate.
Mutations are deny-by-default. The Portal pending-approval gate (or CLI TTY) requires explicit Approve or Reject. Silence and empty state never auto-approve.
Execution
Only the approved plan runs — nothing more.
After approval, the router delivers the approved plan. There is no reinterpretation step. Replaying a recorded run reproduces the same sequence.
Evidence
Proof and lineage you can inspect later.
Evidence is independent of the delivery path's self-report. Open proof and lineage after the decision — durable answers to what was proposed, approved, and what followed.

Who it's for
Built for organizations that need to trust AI-generated work.
If you've ever asked "what did we approve, and what actually happened?" — UseSteady is for you.
Operators & leads
You need durable answers: what was proposed, what a human approved, and what followed — with proof you can show later.
Engineering teams
AI can draft the work. You want a gate before it counts, and a record after — without collapsing proposal and approval.
Security & compliance
You need an inspectable trail. Every approval, every outcome — recorded so the organization can trust the memory.
Builders who refuse blind runs
You're moving fast but not blindly. You want control and verifiability without enterprise theater.
Not for: teams that want AI to act autonomously without oversight, or workflows where speed matters more than correctness. UseSteady adds a gate — that is the point.
Scope
What this version does. Exactly.
No capability is implied. If it's not in this list, it does not exist in this build.
In scope today
Portal governance
- ✓
Activation welcome → request → live pending-approval
- ✓
Approve or Reject at the human gate — no silent auto-approve
- ✓
Proof and lineage deep links after the decision
- ✓
Team governance surfaces for ownership and decision history
Audit & verification
- ✓
Inspect what was proposed, what a human approved, and what followed
- ✓
Durable lineage for organizational memory
- ✓
Every mutation requires explicit human approval before it counts
Optional tracks
- ✓
CLI propose / ratify for agent-readable demos (secondary)
- ✓
Local-first runtime option for solo workflows
Not yet
We add capabilities when they can be fully governed.
- —
Deploy to production or managed cloud environments
Remote execution needs a different governance model — not ready.
- —
Manage cloud resources (AWS, GCP, Azure)
Cloud ops cannot be fully audited in this version.
- —
Integrate into CI/CD pipelines as a step
Headless mode requires an unattended approval model.
- —
MCP write tools that approve or mutate
MCP is read-only by design — propose and ratify stay on Portal or CLI.
- —
Run headlessly without human oversight
The gate requires a human in the loop. That is the point.
Early access users shape what gets built next.
Follow @UseSteady →Limitations are a design decision, not a roadmap gap. Every boundary exists because the capability cannot yet be executed under full governance. When it can, it ships.

UseSteady helps organizations trust AI-generated work. Approve live work in the Portal, then see proof and lineage. Nothing runs without your approval.
AI proposes — candidates only, zero authority until you approve
Humans approve — Portal gate or CLI; same authority model
UseSteady governs — proof and lineage you can inspect later
