    Impetus extends Prism observability into an enterprise AI trust platform

    Impetus expanded its Prism observability product into an AI trust platform. New features include token and cost visibility for AI agents, end-to-end agent tracing, monitoring for PII leakage, toxicity and prompt injection, and token optimisation advice. Prism now gives a single view across cloud, Databricks and Snowflake estates and adds cost anomaly detection and Snowflake sizing recommendations.

    Buyer takeawayDatabricks and Snowflake customers moving agents into production can use Prism to track AI cost and risk, but should validate the accuracy and savings figures Impetus quotes.

    Impetus Technologies joined the OpenAI Partner Network at the Select tier. The company says it has put more than 30 production AI use cases into service for Fortune 500 clients, including claims processing in banking and insurance, using a context engineering lifecycle that organises enterprise knowledge into semantic layers, ontologies and knowledge graphs. It plans to expand OpenAI-based offerings and client-embedded talent.

    Buyer takeawayBanks and insurers standardising on OpenAI models gain another partner with formal OpenAI status and a context engineering method aimed at grounding agents in enterprise data.
