Your team uses AI agents. You have no idea what they cost, what they change, or what they know.
Elyra Team gives your organization cost control, shared context, and safety guardrails for AI-assisted development. The CLI stays free and open source. Team solves the coordination problem.
01 · The problem
It works fine for one person. It breaks for a team.
Five developers using AI agents independently means five separate API keys, five separate billing accounts, no visibility into total spend, no shared context about the codebase, and no way to prevent an agent from deleting a production migration file at 2 AM.
02 · What Team adds
Three things Team solves
Managed Proxy
One bill, full visibility. Developers stop managing individual API keys. Team admins register provider credentials once. Every Elyra session routes through the proxy automatically.
-
Single API key per team, distributed via
ELYRA_PRO_KEY -
Per-developer and per-project budget caps
-
Automatic provider failover (Anthropic down? Route to OpenAI)
-
Real-time cost dashboard: who spent what, on which project, with which model
-
Monthly trend graphs and alerts when spend approaches limits
Shared Memory
The agent remembers what your team knows. When a senior developer teaches the agent that your project uses the repository pattern, that knowledge should be available to every developer on the team — not locked in one person's ~/.elyra/ directory.
- · Project memory lives in
.elyra/memory/as markdown files, versioned in git - · The agent writes summaries after each session: architecture decisions, patterns learned, gotchas discovered
- · Every developer pulls the latest memory with their normal git workflow
- · The agent reads it on session start and knows what the team knows
-
Real-time sync without waiting for git push
-
Access control: who can write to memory, who can only read
-
Dashboard showing what the agent has learned, with review/approval workflow
-
Conflict resolution when two developers' sessions produce contradicting knowledge
Junior developer starts a session. The agent already knows: "This project uses UUID primary keys, not auto-increment. Repository pattern for all database access. Tests go in tests/Feature/ and use Pest, not PHPUnit." Nobody had to explain it. The memory was there from the senior developer's sessions last week.
Guardrails
Rules the agent can't break. Configurable rules that prevent the agent from performing dangerous operations, even if the developer asks it to.
- · Rules defined in
.elyra/guardrails.ymlor via the dashboard - · Enforced as pre-write hooks in the tool execution pipeline
- · The agent sees the rule, explains why it can't proceed, and suggests an alternative
- · Admins get notified when a guardrail triggers
-
Never delete migration files that have been committed -
Never modify auth middleware without manual confirmation -
Never write to production environment files -
Never remove test files -
Always run tests after editing more than 3 files
03 · Architecture
How it works
One environment variable. No code changes. No workflow disruption.
Developer's terminal | v Elyra CLI (free, open source) | | ELYRA_PRO_KEY v Elyra Team proxy (your infrastructure or ours) | |-- Authenticates developer |-- Checks budget |-- Selects provider key |-- Streams LLM response |-- Logs usage | v LLM Provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.)
04 · What stays free
The CLI stays free. Forever.
Everything the individual developer uses today stays free and open source.
| Feature | Free | Team |
|---|---|---|
| CLI + all extensions | ||
| 30+ LLM providers | ||
| Local sessions and memory | ||
| Themes, blueprints, snippets, pins | ||
| Smart routing and compaction | ||
| Managed proxy with cost dashboard | — | |
| Per-developer budget caps | — | |
| Shared team memory with sync | — | |
| Guardrails and safety rules | — | |
| Audit log (who changed what, when) | — |
05 · Pricing
Simple, predictable pricing
You bring your own provider API keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.). We don't mark up token costs. You pay providers directly at their published rates.
Team pricing covers the proxy infrastructure, dashboard, shared memory sync, guardrails engine, and audit logging.
06 · Early access
Join the waitlist
We're building Elyra Team for early access in June 2026. Leave your email and we'll reach out when it's ready.
Elyra is free and open source. Team is for organizations that need cost control, shared context, and safety guardrails. The CLI will never require a Team subscription.
