For AI startups

cybee protects the Macs your team builds on and lists the AI tools on each one. When a bigger customer reviews your security, it gives you dated answers to the questions about your Macs and the AI tools on them. It is not a certification or an audit report.

Figure: Illustration: a startup asks its assistant which AI tools can reach its code, for a customer’s security review. cybee lists seven AI tools on 4 of 4 Macs, and names one to look at: a test database that Cursor on one Mac still connects to.

## The demo went well. Now the customer checks how you work.

Bigger customers vet the startups they buy from. That review often arrives before your first security hire, so the founder answers it between everything else.

before the contract

### An enterprise customer sends a security review.

“Are the development Macs encrypted?”

Procurement wants dated facts it can check.

any week

### Someone adds a new AI tool.

A new assistant here, a browser extension there. Some of them can reach code and customer data.

in due diligence

### An investor asks how you protect the company.

They want to see the basics in place before they commit.

at renewal

### Your insurer asks what protects your Macs.

The form asks what runs on every Mac, and since when.

## Keep building. cybee keeps the facts ready.

Run one line in Terminal, a chat, your IDE or a CLI. To add a teammate’s Mac, [ask your AI assistant to invite them](https://cybee.ai/docs/team-devices/). cybee works in the background, and you [ask your first question](https://cybee.ai/docs/assistant/#first-question) in the assistant your team already uses all day.

### Your team changes its tools every week. cybee keeps the list.

Someone tries a new assistant on Monday and connects it to an internal tool by Friday. cybee lists the AI tools on each Mac and what each one connects to, next to the installed apps and what each browser extension is allowed to do.

A connection that is set up does not prove it was used. Where cybee recorded what a tool did, you can ask about that one action.

Figure: Each AI tool, the Mac it lives on and what it connects to.

Fix Checking: Free Fixing: Proof plan

### The basics still matter. cybee keeps them on.

Free: cybee stops bad software while it runs, shows which apps are out of date and checks 118 settings on every Mac. Proof plan: it sets weak settings the safe way and keeps them that way, once the person who uses that Mac says yes.

Figure: Mira says yes at 09:42. The earlier record keeps what was true before.

Prove Proof plan

### No security team yet. The facts are ready anyway.

The question arrives before the security hire. You do not need a full department to start. You need to see what is protected and what needs attention, so you know what you can honestly show.

When the customer asks for proof, send the Trust Passport: which protections held on your Macs, since when, and what cybee could not see.

Who does what

The customer asks whether the development Macs are encrypted. cybee brings the dated result for each Mac it runs on. The founder checks that every Mac on the project is in it, then sends the answer.

Figure: What your customer receives: one page, dated, with its gap listed.

## Nobody buys security. Somebody else sets a date.

An agency of about ten people, all on Macs. Their insurer sent a security questionnaire.

- 23:41 Found cybee.

- 23:44 Installed.

- 23:47 First record sealed.

- 08:00 Sent to the insurer.

No demo. No call. The insurance policy was issued.

The first record shows what was true that night. Every day after adds history.

A real customer story, shared anonymously.

## Free for every Mac. Proof when the customer asks.

Protection and the AI tool list are free on every Mac. Your record starts the day you install, so a review next quarter can show months of history, not one morning.

[Install, then start the 14 day trial](https://cybee.ai/docs/install/)

The 14 day trial starts in your AI assistant, after cybee is installed. Ask for a Proof plan feature, such as the Trust Passport. The link arrives in the chat and leads to Stripe, the payment service.

Per Mac, excluding tax. The same number in CHF, EUR, USD and GBP. Runs on Macs with an Apple chip, M1 or newer. Macs with an Intel chip are not supported. To check a Mac, open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. [All plan details](https://cybee.ai/pricing/)

### The maths for a startup.

The Proof plan, multiplied by your Macs. Billed yearly, a year costs the price of ten months. Protection stays free on every Mac either way.

[How the 14 day trial works](https://cybee.ai/pricing/#trial)

The Proof plan in CHF, excluding tax.

| Macs | Billed monthly | Billed yearly |
|---|---|---|
| 3 Macs | 27 a month | 270 a year |
| 5 Macs | 45 a month | 450 a year |
| 10 Macs | 90 a month | 900 a year |

## Watches programs, not people. What is in your files never leaves your Mac.

### Stays on your Mac

- The contents of your files

- Saved passwords and app tokens

- Detection, checks and fixes

### Leaves your Mac

- Security events, such as a program that was stopped

- Which settings are on

- Which apps, extensions and AI agents are installed, and what the agents are connected to

- What AI tools did, as cybee recorded it. This can include commands and file paths

- What gets stopped is decided on your Mac, not by an AI model on our servers.

- If cybee disappeared, the app on your Macs would keep protecting them.

## A few practical questions.

**Q:** What does cybee not do?

It is not a certification or an audit. It does not answer questions about your code, your cloud or how the company works, and a connection that is set up does not prove what an AI tool did. Choosing what each agent may reach is planned, not live. It runs on Macs with an Apple chip, M1 or newer. Windows, Linux and Microsoft 365 are not supported today. They are being built.

**Q:** Can we start before a customer asks?

Yes. Free protection and the AI tool list work from the first install. Add the Proof plan when you need the sealed record and stronger settings. The record starts the day you install.

**Q:** Will the record get us through procurement?

It helps you answer the device questions with evidence: dated checks on the listed Macs, with connected Google Workspace accounts in a separate record. Company policies, code and backups need their own answers. Training completion is recorded on the Proof plan. The buyer still decides what is required.

**Q:** Is this a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report?

No. cybee reports your Macs against 10 compliance frameworks, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 among them, for technical controls only. It is not an audit, and the Trust Passport says so. An auditor still looks at your policies, your people and your cloud.

**Q:** Will an AI change a Mac on its own?

No. Nothing from a chat changes a Mac until the person who uses it says yes.
