About us · a product of Alpha Quantum

Shadow AI Tools is built by a company
that has shipped software since 2007.

Alpha Quantum began with quantitative software for asset managers and hedge funds and now runs seven AI data platforms that classify the web for more than 300 organisations. Shadow AI Tools applies that data to one question: which AI services a network uses, and which of them put company data at risk.

The company

Who stands behind the assessments

Alpha Quantum turns the web into decisions machines can act on: what a page is, which AI services staff may use and what those services do with data, and which pages an AI agent may open.

Where we are

Registered at Komenskega ulica 40, Ljubljana, Slovenia. Office at Franz-Joseph-Str. 11, 80801 Munich, Germany.

Where data is processed

On servers in EU data centres. Uploaded logs are deleted right after analysis; a data processing agreement is available on every plan.

Who we work for

More than 300 organisations in telecommunications, media, defence, cybersecurity, e-commerce and IT services.

Data for the agent era

Two data sets for a web used by machines

People paste company data into AI services, and AI agents open pages nobody checked. Both are problems of lists: of domains and URLs, flagged correctly and kept up to date.

AI Tools Blocklist

aitoolsblocklist.com

The same vendor can be safe through its API and risky through its free chat app. Every AI-tool domain carries its own risk flags, so rules follow risk rather than brand names.

AI Agent Allowlist

aiagentallowlist.com

A domain says nothing about the page. Verified URLs of 28 page types per domain tell a gateway whether an agent is about to read documentation or submit a checkout.
