# Uvi > Uvi builds the Map of Work for companies running on many systems, so AI agents can act on it, reliably and in production. A Map of Work is a governed, living description of how a company’s work actually runs: what each step means, who may decide, when to escalate and what must be recorded. Uvi is the system of record for how work runs: it sits above a company’s existing systems (ERP, CRM, email, documents, legacy), runs in the company’s own cloud, works with any AI model, and measures every saving against a baseline the cost owner signs. ## Enterprise Positioning - **Architecture**: Runs in your cloud (VPC/on-prem), on any approved model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, open-weight). - **Governance**: Every action follows strict business rules: what approved means, who may decide, when to escalate, and what must be recorded for audit. Approval before any write. - **ROI**: Moves repeated steps from expensive reasoning models to the cheapest model that passes, then to deterministic code. Every saving is measured against an executive-signed baseline. ## Pages - [Uvi | The Map of Work for enterprise AI agents](https://www.uvi.io/): AI agents stall in production because they don’t know how your company works.

Uvi builds your company’s Map of Work and runs AI agents on it, inside your cloud. The map says what each step means and who may decide; the agents act within those rules. Source: https://www.uvi.io/ ### Why do enterprise AI pilots stall before production? Agents arrive without the company’s rules, so nobody trusts them to approve, escalate or write to a core system. The Map of Work gives them those rules before they act. Source: https://www.uvi.io/ ### Does Uvi replace our ERP or other systems? No. Uvi connects to the systems you already run and sits above them. Your systems keep recording what happened; the Map of Work records how work gets done. Source: https://www.uvi.io/ ### Which AI models does Uvi use? Any model your company approves. Uvi runs in your cloud, with the AI providers you already use, so your data and your choice of model stay with you. Source: https://www.uvi.io/ ### Where do we start? With one process whose cost you already track. Before agents run, the executive who owns that cost signs a baseline, so every saving is measured against it. Source: https://www.uvi.io/ ### What is a Map of Work? A Map of Work is a governed, living description of how a company’s work actually runs: what each step means, who may decide, when to escalate and what must be recorded. AI agents read it before they act, so they follow your rules instead of guessing. Source: https://www.uvi.io/map-of-work/ ### How is a Map of Work different from a knowledge graph? A knowledge graph links what is written down: documents, people, records. A Map of Work describes how work is done: who may decide, when to escalate and what must be recorded. Agents need both; only the map lets them act. Source: https://www.uvi.io/map-of-work/ ### Who builds and validates the map? Uvi drafts it from your systems and how work actually flows through them. The person who owns each process validates its rules, and nothing an agent does goes beyond what they approved. Source: https://www.uvi.io/map-of-work/ ### Can AI agents write to our ERP safely? Yes, under the map’s rules. Agents plan and dry-run each change, a person approves it before anything is written, and every write is logged with its evidence and policy. Source: https://www.uvi.io/map-of-work/ ### What do we need to provide for a pilot? Exports for one process that you already produce, regular time with the person who owns that process, and a baseline signed by the executive who owns the cost. Uvi runs in your cloud from the start. Source: https://www.uvi.io/pilot/ ### Will agents change anything in our systems during the pilot? Not without approval. Agents plan and dry-run every change, and a person approves it before anything is written. Every action is logged with the rule and evidence behind it. Source: https://www.uvi.io/pilot/ ### What do we keep at the end? The Map of Work for that process, in your cloud, the measured result against your baseline, and a clear view of which process to map next. Source: https://www.uvi.io/pilot/
