Solutions
Shadow AI is not a discipline problem. It's a process.
Your people found the tools they needed before you approved them. Clairet provides a process, inventories what is in use, gives every use case an owner, and offers a sanctioned path that's faster than a workaround.

Sound familiar?
You don't know how much AI is in use or why.
- Employees found pasting customer data into an external model.
- Leaders, managers, and employees all using personal accounts to bypass blocked models.
- No one can account for token usage amid rising costs.
- The organization creates and breaks their own AI policies and procedures.
The size of it
The gap between use and permission is the whole problem.
Shadow AI everywhere

Two ways to answer it
Do you want to work smart or work hard?
Shadow AI the hard way: Ban the tool. Usage goes quiet. It does not go away.
The Clairet way: Find the tool, name an owner, and offer a sanctioned path that is at least as fast.
Shadow AI the hard way: Punish what the audit finds. Next time, nobody tells you anything.
The Clairet way: Amnesty. Disclosure is capability mapping, not a confession, and the inventory fills up.
Shadow AI the hard way: Watch the network. The org chart and the comp data never crossed a path you monitor.
The Clairet way: Ask the person. Every tool in the inventory says who uses it and for what.
Shadow AI the hard way: Send everyone the policy PDF and hope.
The Clairet way: Process + Policy. Assign owners and automatically enforce policy.
How it works
Go from rumor to record.
1. Discover
Build an AI tool inventory, sanctioned or not. Discover who uses it, why, and for what.
2. Own
Each tool gets an accountable owner and a decision. Approve it, replace it, or retire it.
3. Replace
Give the habit a sanctioned version that is as fast. Policy Wizard sets the rules. Your AI Council decides in days.
4. Keep looking
New tools arrive every month. The inventory is a living record, not a one-time sweep.

Common questions
Questions, answered.
- Do we have to block anything?
- Only what you decide to. Most shadow AI is people doing their job faster. Clairet helps you see it, decide on it, and give people a sanctioned tool. Blocking is a choice, not the default.
- Is this not what our DLP already does?
- DLP sees data crossing a monitored path. It does not see the tool a manager uses on a personal account, and it cannot tell you who owns the habit. Clairet works at the level of tools, owners and people.
