Introducing Venn.ai: Empowering AI Integration in Business
Venn.ai, developed by Barndoor, leverages years of expertise in AI access controls and governance to deliver a user-friendly platform. It seamlessly connects AI tools with everyday business applications, enabling organizations to enhance productivity while ensuring safety and control.
With Venn.ai, you can integrate Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code into your preferred business applications, allowing your AI to perform tasks with precision and security.
What is Venn.ai?
On February 24, 2026, Barndoor.ai introduced Venn.ai, a groundbreaking platform that provides AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT controlled, permissioned access to essential workplace applications. These include widely used platforms such as Salesforce, Jira, Google, and Notion. Venn.ai empowers teams and individuals to utilize AI agents effectively while implementing necessary controls and safeguards.
Addressing Common Gaps in AI Integration
Despite the increasing popularity of AI in both personal and professional settings, many users still interact with basic conversational AI that lacks integration with daily-use applications. Current integrations often offer limited functionality, primarily supporting read-only actions.
Venn.ai fills the gaps left by existing solutions:
- Broader app coverage: Unlike many AI platforms that provide limited application options, Venn.ai comes equipped with numerous integrations for common business tools, including CRMs, communication software, and productivity platforms.
- Action-oriented functionality: Venn.ai allows teams to perform real tasks, such as updating records, sending messages, and searching multiple data sources, instead of merely offering read-only access.
- Seamless integration: Unlike other standalone AI platforms that may require switching applications, Venn.ai operates within the existing AI tools people already use, ensuring that teams have access to the latest models without needing to learn a new interface.
Early Adoption Success Stories
Since its early access launch, Venn.ai users have been successfully connecting their applications and executing workflows that were previously unfeasible:
- Customer success manager: Integrated Venn.ai with Salesforce, Zendesk, Google Docs, Google Slides, and Slack to create customer health summaries and share updates seamlessly.
- Startup executive: Used Venn.ai to extract company names from Google Sheets, cross-reference them in Salesforce, and retrieve last interactions and next steps.
- Product manager: Connected Venn.ai to Intercom, Gmail, Jira, and Notion, enabling the categorization of feedback emails and the drafting of Jira tickets for upcoming sprints.
- Finance manager: Linked Venn.ai with Xero, Google Sheets, and Google Slides to streamline monthly reporting and create presentations all in one go.
- Marketing manager: Used Venn.ai to extract leads from recent campaigns and summarize insights for the marketing team via Slack.
- Personal subscription audit: Connected Venn.ai to Gmail and Google Sheets to track subscriptions and manage monthly expenses efficiently.
Emphasizing Security and Control
Barndoor’s co-founder and CEO Oren Michels highlighted the importance of controls: “People want AI to work across their daily applications, but this can be risky without proper safeguards. Venn.ai places control in the hands of all users, not just engineers and IT teams, allowing safe usage of agent-driven AI.”
Key Features of Venn.ai:
- Safe experimentation: Venn.ai allows users to explore agentic workflows without compromising access to sensitive systems.
- Human oversight: The platform includes features that notify users before actions are taken, ensuring they maintain control over operations.
- Confidence to innovate: Users can develop agentic workflows within real business contexts without concerns about unintended actions or data privacy.

Venn.ai is currently available in free early access, with plans for paid options to be introduced later. Barndoor encourages early users to explore its capabilities and provide feedback to help shape the future of responsible AI integration in the workplace.
