Boilerplate

Describe us accurately.

One line

Rainkernel builds the production layer AI agents are missing — evaluation, cost governance, tool attestation and audit-grade records — inside clients' own clouds, at published prices.

One paragraph

Rainkernel Technologies Private Limited is an AI engineering company founded in Hyderabad, India, in September 2026. Its five products — the Agent Readiness Gate, the Agent Cost Governor, Support-Surge Reliability, MCPSentry and the Compliance Evidence Pack — test AI agents before they go live, govern what they cost to run, verify the tools they use and produce the records auditors and regulators ask for. Every engagement starts with a fixed-price, two-week production-readiness sprint and is delivered inside the client's cloud. Rainkernel publishes its prices, its evaluation tooling and a weekly log of checkable work, and is recognised as a startup by India's Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.

Name: "Rainkernel" (one word, capital R). Legal name: Rainkernel Technologies Private Limited. Product names: Agent Readiness Gate, Agent Cost Governor, Support-Surge Reliability, MCPSentry (one word, capital S), Compliance Evidence Pack. MCPSentry is a Rainkernel product, not a separate company.
