About Molt AI Corp
Molt AI Corp builds the trust layer for AI agents. Our platform gives organizations the tools to prove their agents are safe, keep them accountable, and ship code they can stand behind. Three products, one thesis: agents are only as useful as they are trustworthy. Fisher discovers the vulnerabilities that matter. A cognitive red teaming engine evolves multi-turn adversarial attacks across thousands of episodes, proves findings are reproducible, and maps them to the compliance frameworks auditors actually ask for — EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, OWASP LLM, ISO 42001. MoltAIgent makes the personal agent fiduciary. Cryptographically scoped credentials, passkey-gated instrumental agency, and a zero-trust architecture where the human stays sovereign and every agent action is auditable. Your agent works for you — provably. Deterministic Code Generation closes the loop from spec to production. An agentic programming harness that collaboratively builds, formally verifies, and deploys identity, infrastructure, and code. The spec is the artifact. The compiler proves it. Implementations are fungible.
