Zafin launches AIOS platform to orchestrate AI agents for regulated institutions

Zafin, an AI platform company for regulated institutions, has launched AIOS, an end-to-end agent orchestration platform designed to govern agentic work across enterprises. The platform orchestrates agents, models, tools and workflows whilst maintaining visibility and control over how work is executed. AIOS addresses a critical gap identified in a recent Deloitte survey, which found only 21% of organisations have mature governance models for autonomous AI agents. The platform embeds enterprise guardrails, cost controls and proof of work into execution paths, creating evidence records that support policy, compliance and audit requirements. Zafin validated AIOS internally before customer deployment. The company is offering the AIOS Accelerator programme for qualified institutions ready to implement governed agentic work across software delivery, modernisation and regulated research workflows.
