Definitions for the core concepts behind Stackmint’s AI-native capability cloud. These terms explain how agencies and systems integrators build, deploy, govern, and monetize AI capabilities across client workspaces.
Glossary concepts
runtime and business architecture primitive
Governed AI Capability
A governed AI capability is a packaged AI workflow tied to a business outcome, controlled by approvals, audit logs, permissions, budgets, and policy gates.

AI-Native Agency
An AI-native agency uses governed AI capabilities to operate client workflows, expand delivery capacity, and create recurring AI-powered services.
Read definitionplatform architecture
Capability Cloud
A capability cloud is the execution platform used to build, deploy, govern, and monetize AI capabilities across clients.
Read definitionexecution primitive
Bud
A Bud is a reusable Stackmint primitive for logic, UI, connectors, prompt instructions, or review steps.
Read definitionworkflow primitive
Branch
A Branch is a complete Stackmint workflow that connects Buds into a governed execution path.
Read definitionrouting primitive
Dendrite
A Dendrite is a Stackmint routing layer that chooses the right workflow, tool, model, or execution path.
Read definitiondeployment environment
Client Workspace
A client workspace is a secure Stackmint environment where a partner deploys and manages capabilities for a specific client.
Read definitiongovernance control
Human-in-the-Loop Gate
A human-in-the-loop gate pauses an AI workflow until an approved reviewer confirms, edits, or rejects the next action.
Read definitiongovernance architecture
Execution Control Plane
An execution control plane manages approvals, audit logs, permissions, model routing, budgets, memory, and policy checks for AI workflows.
Read definitionexecution surface
Headless AI Workflow
A headless AI workflow runs without a dedicated user interface, triggered by APIs, schedules, webhooks, Slack, CRM, or background jobs.
Read definitionprotocol interface
MCP Tool
An MCP tool exposes a workflow or capability to agent-ready environments using the Model Context Protocol.
Read definitionmonetization infrastructure
Revenue Rails
