Lucid Developer Platform
Deploy AI. Prove it's safe. Let users verify for themselves.
Your users have no reason to trust your AI—and they shouldn't have to. Lucid gives them cryptographic proof that your agents are running exactly as promised: no data logging, no tampering, no shortcuts on safety guardrails.
How It Works
1. Deploy agents in one command
Ship models with built-in safety auditors. No infrastructure wrangling, no security theater—just working, verifiable AI.
lucid apply --model llama-3.1-8b --profile chat[+] Environment created: env-abc123def456
Connection URL: https://env-abc123def456.serverless.lucid.ai
Model: meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
Auditors: injection, toxicity, sovereignty
[+] Environment ready!
2. Monitor and verify in real-time
Watch every guardrail fire. Catch problems before your users do. The Observer dashboard shows exactly what's happening inside your agents—backed by hardware attestation, not just logs.
3. Give users proof, not promises
Every agent gets an AI Passport—a cryptographic certificate your users can verify independently. They can see exactly what model is running, what safety checks are active, and where their data lives.
4. Treat agents as colleagues, not APIs
With Verifiable Agent Pods (VAP), each agent gets an email, handle, and AI passport -- managed like a team member. Share a Google Doc with the agent's email. Add it to a Slack channel. The agent gets context the same way humans do, while owner accountability, credential inheritance, approval flows, and auditor settings cascades enforce governance underneath.
Start Here
New to Lucid? Follow these steps to go from zero to a running, monitored agent:

pip install lucid-cli - Authenticate —
lucid login - Deploy your first agent — 2-minute serverless quickstart
- Monitor in Observer — see guardrails fire in real time
- Build a custom auditor — your first safety guardrail
- Write Cedar policies — declarative rules for your auditors
- Go to production — go-live requirements
