About

FirstHelm is a control plane for AI agents. It sits between your agent fleet — n8n, OpenAI, Anthropic, CrewAI, LangChain, Microsoft Copilot Studio, or any custom agent via REST API — and the rest of the world, deciding what each agent is allowed to do, not just showing what it did. Every action is logged and checked in flight against your rules: budget caps, blocked actions, and per-mission cost and token visibility. Expensive, risky or irreversible actions are held for human approval, and unanswered approvals expire safely — silence is not consent. Live dashboards let you steer agents mid-mission, and FirstHelm generates audit trails and compliance exports mapped to the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, SOC 2, UK GDPR, NIST AI RMF and FCA expectations — 38 controls, scored live from your own data. Freemium, framework-agnostic, UK-built.

About

Willow is a leading enterprise platform for governing AI agents, tools, MCP servers, skills, and plugins. It connects agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, n8n, and custom agents to internal systems and SaaS tools, including Jira, GitHub, Slack, and databases, through an MCP gateway. Agents receive human-linked identities, scoped permissions, and audit trails. Security teams define policies, while employees self-serve approved connectors, skills, and plugins. Features include shadow AI discovery; PII redaction and prompt-injection inspection; app- and action-level permissions; SSO, SCIM, and RBAC with Okta, Entra ID, and JumpCloud; SIEM export; token and cost monitoring; and background agents. Willow is available as SaaS, dedicated cloud, or on-premises in a customer VPC. It holds SOC 2 Type II attestation, is GDPR-ready.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I'm a developer at Wix and use Willow with Claude Code and Codex. I set it up by myself and it was quick.
  • I run AI operations at a mid-size company, and Willow is our central MCP gateway for Claude. The best part is simple. I set up a connector once and everyone in the company can use it in Claude. I don't have to repeat that setup for each person.
  • I’m a PM at a company with 1000+ people, and I use Willow to connect my tools to Claude Code. I use Jira to create and query tasks, plus Slack and some of our internal data systems. The big win is getting all of them in one go instead of connecting each one separately.
  • I connected Ahrefs, GSC and Monday to Claude through Willow, and now I don't pull anything myself. Claude does it. I use it for keyword research, briefs, checking clicks and traffic drops. It works across my two Claude accounts, and I never have to reconnect anything or deal with tokens.
  • Easy to get skills that fit how we work at Wix. Connects Claude to Google Calendar and Drive. Helped me write my own skills (daily summary, new-ticket prep) that save me a lot of time.

Cons

  • The one limitation is that it asks me to reconnect every couple of days, though that only takes a moment.
  • Connector auth issues. It also isn't set-and-forget. There's regular admin work every week.
  • Sometimes I have to re-authenticate, but not often.
  • Setup took about 10 minutes, but I had to ask for help because the instructions weren't clear enough.
  • Re-authenticating connectors, though it’s not that bad
