- 00:01 Your business runs on AI now. The more you rely on it, the more exposed you become if something goes wrong.
- 00:07 It's not uncommon if you build automation with AI. When AI fails, your automation breaks. When your automation breaks, you have to rebuild from zero. When you rebuild from zero, you fall behind.
- 00:20 AI Escrow protects the AI services you rely on for efficiency and productivity. We do this through a legal arrangement between you, your AI providers, and Codekeeper. It allows us to lock every essential component that makes up your AI setup — your models, your prompts, your workflows, and everything in between. If something were to happen to cut off your access to the service, you get access to all of it, ready to migrate or redeploy wherever you need to.
- 00:46 Let's take a look at how to set up AI Escrow and keep your infrastructure protected.
- 00:51 Step one: You and your AI providers discuss which models, prompts, workflows, and supporting components you wouldn't be able to do without, and agree on what needs to be covered under the arrangement. This ensures nothing gets left out, and that the AI capabilities that support your business can't disappear on you.
- 01:10 Step two: All relevant parties sign an escrow agreement with Codekeeper to lock in the terms of the arrangement. The agreement defines exactly which assets are covered, what conditions would trigger a release, and what you're allowed to do with it after Codekeeper gives you access to the materials. Those conditions typically cover service discontinuation, business closure, or the end of a platform relationship, but custom release conditions can be added.
- 01:35 Step three: Your AI providers connect their platforms to Codekeeper through our integrations, depositing your full AI setup into the vault. That covers your models and deployments on one side — like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, AWS Bedrock, and Azure OpenAI — and your agents, prompts, and workflows on the other — like LangChain, Make, n8n, and more. Basically every component of your AI stack in one place.
- 02:02 Step four: Codekeeper holds everything securely encrypted in our vaults, with automated daily backups that pull live changes directly from your connected platforms. And if you want verified proof that your setup can be recovered, our verification testing rebuilds your complete environment in isolation — confirming models load, prompts execute, and workflows run exactly as they should. You can even hand over the Software Resilience Certificates we give you to regulators as proof.
- 02:50 Step five: When a release condition is met, we review it against the agreement and open the vault. Then, with all your essential AI system elements preserved, up to date, and now in your hands, you can rebuild or migrate to get your AI operations back online.
- 02:44 In quick order, your AI is backed up. You redeploy it. You keep your advantage.
- 02:51 AI Escrow protects the months or even years of custom work your business has built and refined over time. When a platform shuts down or changes direction, you have everything needed to start over with all your prompts, configurations, and logic intact. This keeps you and your customers safe, online, and compliant. Regulatory frameworks like DORA and NIS2 require documented AI continuity measures for exactly those reasons — Codekeeper's AI Escrow ensures you can meet those requirements with confidence.
