Space and Time Enterprise lets AI agents verify private data

Microsoft-backed Space and Time has launched Space and Time Enterprise, which uses Proof of SQL to prove calculations on private business data without exposing the records.

Microsoft-backed Space and Time has launched Space and Time Enterprise, a platform meant to let AI agents work with private business data and verify results without ever seeing the underlying records.

The product relies on Proof of SQL, the company's technology for proving that a calculation was carried out correctly. In practice, an enterprise can run a query over sensitive data and hand an AI agent a verifiable result, rather than the raw information itself.

Why it matters

AI agents are increasingly asked to act on business information such as financial figures, customer data or internal metrics. Companies face a trade-off: giving an agent direct access to private records creates exposure risk, while withholding the data limits what the agent can do. A cryptographic proof that a calculation was done correctly offers a possible middle path, because the agent can rely on an answer that has been checked without handling the confidential data behind it.

It also addresses a second concern, trust in the output. When an agent reports a number, a proof allows others to confirm that it was computed as claimed, instead of taking the system's word for it.

What comes next

The launch positions Space and Time as a provider of verifiable data infrastructure for enterprises adopting AI agents. Details such as pricing, customers and technical requirements were not part of the announcement material available, so it remains to be seen how quickly businesses adopt the platform and how it performs on large production datasets.
