An aircraft recorder does not make the aircraft safer. It makes what happened knowable afterwards.

PromptWake does the same for AI-written code. Capture runs locally and costs you nothing to keep on; the parts above it turn that record into something you can hand to a regulator, an auditor or a court.

From the people already running it

What the recorder answers

Which agent touched this file

Every captured event names the tool, the model where the transcript exposes it, the project and the file path.

When, in UTC

Events carry a timestamp and the machine they came from, so a sequence can be reconstructed across a team.

Why the change was made

The prompt that drove the edit is kept with the diff it produced, in full, rather than summarised away.

What this is not

Not DLP, CASB or SASE

We do not sit in the network path and cannot block or redact a prompt in flight. Blocking sensitive data from reaching public AI tools is Netskope, Zscaler or Microsoft Purview territory.

Not shadow-AI discovery

We see the coding tools that write transcripts on machines running the recorder. Finding unsanctioned AI use across a whole workforce's browsers and endpoints is a different product category.

Not an AI application firewall

Securing AI features your company ships — runtime guardrails, red teaming, AI-BOM — is Prisma AIRS, F5 or Lasso. PromptWake records how software was built, not how it behaves in production.

Not LLM observability

If you need traces, prompt versioning and evals for your own AI product, use Langfuse, LangSmith or Braintrust. Our subject is the codebase, not the model you are shipping.

Not an LLM gateway

We do not proxy requests, so we cannot cap a budget or stop a call at a limit. LiteLLM is open source and does that well. We report what was spent on work already captured.

Complementary, not a replacement

Those tools stop at the moment a prompt is sent: allowed, blocked, redacted, logged. PromptWake starts there and follows the prompt through to the code it produced. If your problem is upstream of that moment, we would rather say so now than in month three of an evaluation.

Bring your auditors an answer instead of an estimate.

Fifteen minutes is enough to see what the recorder captures on a real repository — including how much it honestly cannot attribute.
