Atsign has launched AI Architect, the first visual architecture tool designed to secure the agentic AI era and modernize software development. The platform eliminates the traditional trade-off between speed and security by allowing teams to visually map data flows, permissions, and security protocols before any code is generated—creating a rigid JSON specification that guides LLMs (such as Claude or GPT) to produce secure, production-ready applications, complex systems, and Restricted Access Agents by design.
Built on the atPlatform, AI Architect ensures generated applications inherit Zero Exposure by default: every connection is cryptographically authenticated, end-to-end encrypted, and has no network attack surfaces—making them invisible to potential attackers. This architecture-first approach addresses the “proof of concept purgatory” problem for AI consultants and internal teams, enabling functional, secure prototypes in hours without subsequent security rewrites or compliance delays.
Development teams and consultants often face intense pressure to demonstrate AI innovation, but prototypes frequently stall during security and compliance reviews. AI Architect changes this dynamic by enabling stakeholders to agree on business logic and security posture visually before prompting LLMs.
“Development leaders and consultants are under immense pressure to prove they are on the forefront of AI innovation, but they hit a wall when the CISO asks about security,” said Barbara Tallent, CEO at Atsign. “AI Architect changes the conversation. It allows you to say, ‘We can build this in an afternoon, and it will cryptographically authenticate every connection, be end-to-end encrypted, and have no network attack surfaces.’ It turns the CISO from a blocker into a champion.”
The tool also tackles the “code janitor” problem—where AI-generated code creates technical debt requiring extensive cleanup. By enforcing architectural guardrails, AI Architect ensures agents operate like disciplined contractors following a blueprint rather than generating unstructured code.
“It is time to stop thinking of speed and security as a trade-off,” continued Tallent. “With AI Architect, Head of Development teams can meet aggressive business demands, while the CISO gets the visibility and control they require. We are automating the structural integrity of the code so you can innovate at the speed of AI.”
AI Architect is free for developers and architects to use. Generated applications require Atsigns—unique digital identities on the atPlatform—for secure networking and encryption features.
A live webinar hosted by Venture West—“The Next Big Thing in Agentic AI: Where CEO Vision Meets CISO Approval”—will demonstrate AI Architect in action on February 25, 2026, at 11:00 AM PST (register at the provided Zoom link).
About Atsign
Atsign is the creator of the atPlatform, a revolutionary networking technology that replaces today’s vulnerability-prone IP-based architecture with a secure, identity-first foundation. The atPlatform enables Zero Exposure connectivity, allowing AI agents, applications, and devices to communicate directly and securely without open network ports or static IP addresses. By requiring cryptographic authentication before a connection is allowed and baking end-to-end encryption into the protocol itself, Atsign provides the essential infrastructure for the next generation of secure, autonomous software.
