Find the AI you did not know you were using

The AI tools you know about are rarely all of them. Someone signs up with a work email, another expenses a subscription, and your register quietly falls behind reality. Here is how to close the gap.

Updated May 2026

Why it matters

A register that misses half your AI is worse than honest about it, because it looks complete. The tools most likely to be missed, the ones a single team adopted quietly, are also the ones most likely to be a high-risk use nobody reviewed.

Three ways to surface it

  • Connect a source. On Governance, auto-discovery reads sign-in and expense data and surfaces the tools your team actually uses. It is the fastest and most complete. See what auto-discovery does.
  • Check expense and card data. AI subscriptions paid on company cards are a common blind spot. Even without a connector, a quick look through recent expenses turns up tools worth adding.
  • Ask each team one question. "Which AI tools do you use, and what for?" gets you the uses, which is what classification needs anyway. See write a good use description.
Add first, refine later
It is better to add a tool with a rough use and refine it than to leave it off because you are unsure. An unclassified system on the register is visible; one that is not there is not.
