Delve
AI-native compliance platform that gathers evidence and answers auditors automatically.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the security job, so this one still earns its $500/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Vanta and Drata adding AI agents while defending entrenched enterprise relationships. OpenAI, February 10, 2026 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? paid only
- 3 replacements listed, all paid.
- What the call is worth $6,000/yr
- $500/mo at the entry paid tier — $6,000 a year per seat.

The backstory
Delve, a Y Combinator company, rebuilt compliance automation assuming AI agents from the start rather than adding them to a checklist product, using them to read policies, collect evidence and draft auditor responses. Its wedge against the incumbents is speed and price, promising SOC 2 in days at a fraction of the cost. Compliance is a market where buyers are risk-averse and references matter enormously, so the technical advantage has to survive a long trust-building period.
