FAQ
Answers to the five questions we get on every first call. If something else is on your mind, book a working session.
-
How is Shakti different from GitHub Copilot or Cursor?
Copilot and Cursor are code-completion tools. Shakti is a governed software evolution system. Different stage of the product lifecycle, different audit boundary.
-
Can I run Shakti fully air-gapped?
Yes. Single Rust binary, no external service dependencies at runtime, and a self-hosted Ollama / vLLM adapter closes the LLM loop.
-
What happens if an agent makes a bad change?
Every phase has a typed boundary + an approval checkpoint. Rollback is a Merkle-chain walk, not a git revert.
-
How do I get a Shakti audit trail into my SIEM?
The evidence export endpoint is SIEM-ready JSON. Custom schema mappers for Splunk, Datadog, Chronicle land in v2.1.
-
What's the real cost of ownership compared to building in-house?
Most in-house platforms cost $500K-$5M annually in reconciliation + six FTE to maintain. Shakti collapses that to a seat licence + a small platform team.
