Aug 6, 2026

The most common question since we started 31 Days of AURA: how do you plan to make money? The short answer is the control plane, not the agent.

Mezmo sells an enterprise-grade control plane for running large numbers of agents across large environments, where coordinating across environments, governance, access control, and the efficiency of preprocessing MCP data start to matter. If a hundred people run AURA and three or four of them need that, the model works. The more people running AI agents in production, the bigger the market for the tooling underneath them.

AURA itself stays fully capable, Apache 2 licensed, open source, inspectable, free to use, and free to run. That is the pledge, and it will not change.
