Manual audits miss what happens between audits
Browser extension, network analysis, and expense monitoring find every AI tool automatically.
Manual audits miss what happens between audits
Approval processes exist on paper but nobody follows them
New AI tools launch weekly - your inventory is always outdated
You can't secure what you can't see
Quarterly audits miss 90% of shadow AI adoption
How Detect works
Install
Browser extension and network monitoring capture AI tool access automatically
Detect
Multi-signal detection finds tools from browsing, SSO, email, and expenses
Classify
AI automatically categorizes and risk-scores every detected tool
Key Benefits

Preventing AI-related data leaks
The discovery challenge
AI tools are designed to be easy to adopt. No procurement process. No IT approval. Just sign up and start using. This is great for productivity but terrible for governance.
Traditional IT discovery tools weren’t built for this. They miss web-based AI tools, don’t understand AI-specific patterns, and react too slowly.
Multi-signal detection
Armadillo Detect combines multiple detection methods:
Browser Extension Lightweight browser extension identifies when users access AI tool websites. Works across Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
Network Analysis Identifies API calls to AI services from your network. Catches programmatic access and integrations.
Expense Monitoring Scans expense reports and credit card transactions for AI-related charges.
SSO Integration Tracks AI tools accessed through your identity provider.
Email Analysis Detects signup confirmations and welcome emails from AI services.
Together, these provide comprehensive coverage that no single method can match.
AI-powered classification
Our database includes thousands of AI tools, but new ones launch daily. Armadillo uses machine learning to identify AI tools even when they’re not in our database:
- URL pattern analysis: Identifies AI tool signatures
- Content classification: Understands tool purpose from website content
- Behavior analysis: Recognizes AI tool usage patterns
When a new AI tool is detected, it’s automatically classified and added to your inventory with an initial risk assessment.
Privacy by design
Detect identifies tool access without capturing sensitive content:
- No keystroke logging
- No screen capture
- No content analysis
- Only metadata about tool access
Your employees’ privacy is protected while you maintain governance visibility.
