Anchor Cloud releases Solace Vera, an AI decision-checking system that forces AI agents to explain their reasoning before taking actions

Anchor Cloud published Solace Vera as an open-source observability tool on GitHub. It sits between an AI agent (a system that makes decisions and takes actions on its own) and the actions it wants to perform, intercepting requests and requiring the AI to provide a written justification before proceeding.

Instead of AI systems acting first and leaving a trace of what happened, Solace Vera reverses the order: the AI must state its reasoning in plain language first, then human operators or automated checks can review or block it. This prevents an AI from, for example, sending an email, deleting data, or transferring money without anyone knowing why it decided to do so.

For business teams using AI agents to automate workflows—customer service, finance, supply chain, healthcare—this means you can now audit *why* the AI made each decision, not just *what* it did. If something goes wrong, you have a written record of the AI's stated reasoning to investigate. For regulated industries (finance, healthcare, legal), this creates the paper trail compliance officers need.
