Roadmap
Where Governed AI is heading. The Control Plane deepens its moat.
This page tracks where OpenIndustrial is heading. Each item reinforces the competitive moat: AI-agnostic, governance-first, de-risked entry.
Status Overview
| Feature | Status | Category Impact |
|---|---|---|
| MCP Integration | SHIPPED | AI-agnostic foundation |
| Governance Loop | SHIPPED | "Nothing without approval" |
| Warm Queries | SHIPPED | AI-assisted query building |
| Fire Azi | SHIPPED | "Fire us, keep running" |
| Schema Promotion | In development | Governance scales |
| Persistent Memory | Planned | Governance learns |
| Autonomous Actions | Planned | Governed automation |
| Proposal Buckets | Planned | Multi-AI organization |
| Governed MCP Gateway | Planned | "Bring any MCP" governed |
| Multi-Cloud Control Plane | Vision | Governance anywhere |
What's SHIPPED (Start Here)
Everything below is working today. Start with the Quickstart to see it in action.
MCP Integration
Status: SHIPPED
Connect any MCP-native AI to your Control Plane. Today: Claude natively, GPT/Copilot via adapters. Tomorrow: any AI that adopts the standard.
Governance Loop
Status: SHIPPED
Every action queues for your approval. Complete audit trail. Nothing happens without your explicit decision.
Warm Queries with Azi
Status: SHIPPED
AI-assisted KQL query building. Natural language to structured queries. Saved, version-tracked, reusable.
Fire Azi and Keep Running
Status: SHIPPED
Remove Azi anytime. Your data stays in your Azure tenant. Your queries keep running. Your configurations persist.
In Development
Schema Promotion
Status: In development | Expected: Q2 2026
What it means:
- Observed data patterns become confirmed schemas
- AI proposals can only act on promoted structure
- Version history tracks every promotion decision
How it deepens the moat:
- "Nothing without approval" extends to structure itself
- Governance isn't just for actions - it's for meaning
Planned
Persistent Memory
Status: Planned | Expected: Q2 2026
The Control Plane will remember patterns from your approvals. Not autonomous learning - governed pattern recognition.
What it means:
- System notices when you approve similar actions
- Proposes reflexes based on confirmed patterns
- You approve or reject the reflex itself
How it deepens the moat:
- "Nothing without approval" - reflexes are approved patterns, not autonomous rules
- Your approval history becomes valuable infrastructure
Autonomous Actions
Status: Planned | Expected: Q3 2026
Pre-approved action patterns that execute within boundaries you define.
What it means:
- Define rules: "If X happens, do Y automatically"
- Rules themselves require approval
- Full audit trail of automated actions
How it deepens the moat:
- "Nothing without approval" - even autonomous actions have approved boundaries
- Governance, not autonomy, is the foundation
Proposal Buckets
Status: Planned | Expected: Q3 2026
Organize proposals from multiple AI sources into named buckets.
What it means:
- Separate Claude proposals from Codex proposals
- Scope buckets to users, teams, or surfaces
- Manage multi-AI workflows
How it deepens the moat:
- "Bring any AI" - practical multi-AI support
Governed MCP Gateway
Status: Planned | Expected: Q4 2026
The challenge: As enterprises adopt MCP (Model Context Protocol) for AI tool integration, they face a governance gap. MCP doesn't provide native frameworks for policy, authorization, and audit. Emerging MCP gateways (Obot, TrueFoundry, Kong) govern tool CALLS - but they're just a layer you add. They don't have the data. They don't have the platform.
What it means:
- Governed Catalog - IT-verified, tested MCP servers with role-based visibility
- Governed Access - Per-tool permissions, parameter-level policy, surface scoping
- Governed Approval - MCP calls can generate proposals (same queue as Azi)
- Context Optimization - Dynamic tool loading, schema optimization, warm query exposure
- Full Observability - Every MCP call logged with identity, cost tracking, compliance-ready
How it deepens the moat:
- "Nothing without approval" extends to MCP capabilities
- No "Shadow MCP" - every capability is governed
- Industrial + MCP governance is an unclaimed intersection
- Same governance whether AI or human initiates
- Control Plane, not Gateway - we govern 10 layers, not just calls
Vision
Multi-Cloud Control Plane
Status: Vision | Expected: 2027
The Governed AI Control Plane today runs in your Azure tenant. The architecture is ready for more.
The foundation is already here:
- "Fire us and keep running" proves the portability foundation
- Schemas, surfaces, and queries are already exportable
- Governance logic is declarative and cloud-independent
What it means:
- Deploy the Control Plane to AWS, GCP, or on-premises
- Same governance, same approval workflows, same audit trails
- Your investment today becomes your foundation everywhere
Why this matters:
- 89% of enterprises operate in multi-cloud environments
- Governance shouldn't be locked to a single cloud
- "Nothing without approval" works the same on any infrastructure
Category Evolution Philosophy
Every roadmap item reinforces the competitive moat. We're not adding features - we're deepening the category.
| Item | How It Reinforces the Moat |
|---|---|
| Schema Promotion | "Nothing without approval" extends to structure |
| Persistent Memory | Your approvals become valuable infrastructure |
| Autonomous Actions | Even automation is governed |
| Proposal Buckets | "Bring any AI" at scale |
| Governed MCP Gateway | Control Plane for AI capabilities - govern data, tools, calls, platform |
| Multi-Cloud Control Plane | Governance travels anywhere - not locked to one cloud |
Start with What's Shipped
Don't wait for roadmap items. The foundation is working today:
