Thoughtworks launches Agent/works, a governed control plane for running enterprise agents across any cloud

Thoughtworks·medium signal

Announced June 16, 2026 in San Francisco, Agent/works gives enterprises a single control plane and governed runtime to register, permission, and monitor agents across any cloud. Headline capabilities: 'provable compliance' that analyzes every workflow path and confirms a fully compliant path exists before execution, capability-based/scope-bound/time-limited agent permissions, a centralized fleet registry with usage/cost/eval/compliance visibility, and multi-model portability with scoped permissions preserved across handoffs. Built with Databricks and demoed at Data + AI Summit 2026; the pitch cites that ~42% of committed code is now AI-generated while ~25% of AI-generated samples carry critical vulnerabilities.
