<!-- /hero -->

**Sentilai is the control plane for the AI coding assistants your team already uses.**
Every request from Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI or Codex CLI routes
through the Sentilai Gateway, where your policy is enforced in real time and everything is
audited. Your developers keep their tools and their workflow.

This is the documentation for the people who run it.

## Start here

- **New to Sentilai?** Read [What Sentilai does](/books/getting-started/page/what-sentilai-does) for the shape of the product in three
  minutes, then [Your first hour](/books/getting-started/page/your-first-hour) for the shortest path from an empty organization to a
  governed request you can watch arrive.
- **Rolling it out?** [Install the Endpoint Suite](/books/connect-your-tools/page/install-the-endpoint-suite), then [Govern all detected tools](/books/connect-your-tools/page/govern-all-detected-tools), then
  [Rolling out to the team](/books/network-and-deployment/page/rolling-out-to-the-team) when the pilot works.
- **Setting policy?** [Choosing your first policy](/books/getting-started/page/choosing-your-first-policy) is the sequence that avoids the mistake
  everyone makes — blocking too much on day one and teaching your team to route around
  you.
- **Something is wrong?** Start at [Nothing appears in Activity](/books/troubleshooting/page/nothing-appears-in-activity); four times out of five
  the answer is that the tool was not restarted.

## How this is organized

Eighteen sections, one per area of the product. **Browse them from the
[Books](/books) page** — each carries the settings, the workflows and the failure modes
for one part of the system.

If you would rather ask than browse, the search box at the top searches every article.

## What we promise about this documentation

It describes what is **built**, not what is planned. Where a feature has limits — Cursor's
autocomplete is not routed, Copilot's inline completions are not routed, per-tool MCP rules
apply where the Gateway can see a tool name — those limits are written down in the article
about that feature, not omitted. [What Sentilai does not do](/books/reference/page/what-sentilai-does-not-do) collects them in one place,
and is five minutes better spent than any feature list.

Where something is not yet certified, we say so rather than implying otherwise.

## Getting help

Admins can open a ticket from **Support** inside the console — we already know who you are
and which organization you belong to, so there is nothing to prove. See *Open a support
ticket* for what to attach.
