Is Bloom or Koi better for AI endpoint control?

Neither is scored on this site. Bloom describes 0 of four product control types and Koi 1 on the pages we read, and they differ on 5 recorded facts. Which fits depends on the AI tools people use, your devices, where the work happens and whether you block or guide; the finder checks those.

Which of the two decides on a tool call before it runs?

Bloom: Partly. Koi: Partly. Warn or ask: Bloom Not in our sources, Koi Not in our sources.

Do Bloom or Koi publish prices?

Bloom: Not published. Koi: Not published.

Bloom vs Koi: AI endpoint control facts side by side

Short answer

Bloom describes 0 of the four product control types on the pages we read and Koi describes 1; they differ on on-device control. On decisions, Bloom describes some control over tool calls and Koi describes some control over tool calls. We do not score either; the right choice depends on the AI tools people use, your devices, your current stack and whether you block or guide.

Positioning	An endpoint security company built around "Securing the AI-Native Endpoint": discovery of the software, extensions and AI tools running on devices, with policy enforcement across package and extension marketplaces. Offices in Wilmington, Delaware and Tel Aviv.	Koi, now sold by Palo Alto Networks as Cortex Agentic Endpoint Security, gives visibility into models, MCPs and extensions on endpoints, removes insecure packages, extensions and AI tools in one click, and stops malicious actions.

Choose Bloom if

Your first worry is unvetted extensions and packages arriving on developer machines
You want an inventory of everything on the endpoint before you write AI-specific rules

Choose Koi if

You already run Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR
You want to find and remove risky extensions and packages across the fleet

Which limits should you check?

Bloom

Deployment method and pricing are not published.
