How authentication works

Venn.ai connects to your business apps using OAuth 2.0, the same industry-standard authentication protocol used by every major SaaS tool. You authorize each integration through the app's own login flow. Venn.ai never sees or stores your usernames or passwords. Each integration is scoped independently. Connecting Venn.ai to Salesforce does not grant it access to your Gmail, and vice versa. Every app connection is explicit and revocable at any time.

Permission controls

Read-only access: restrict the AI to retrieval only, no writes, no updates. Scoped write access: allow writes for specific object types.

What data does Venn.ai access?

Venn.ai only accesses the data that is required to fulfill a specific request. When your AI asks Venn.ai to retrieve a Salesforce record, Venn.ai queries Salesforce for that record and returns the result to your AI. It does not pre-fetch, cache, or index your data. Venn.ai is powered by Barndoor, a company purpose-built for AI access controls and governance.
