What Is Gangway?
Gangway is the web portal that ships with every Kantai deployment. It’s where you manage your agents, monitor fleet health, access knowledge, and configure governance policies. No CLI required — though you can do everything via Helm values too.
Gangway runs as a single pod in your cluster and serves a modern, responsive UI. It connects to your agents via WebSocket and to your data stores for history, knowledge, and configuration.

Dashboard
The Dashboard is your operational overview. It loads instantly and shows real-time fleet status.
What You See
- Agent status — running, idle, errored, or offline for each agent
- Fleet health — aggregate uptime, restart counts, resource usage
- Cost estimates — token usage and estimated spend per agent per day
- Quick stats — messages today, tasks completed, active sessions
- Recent activity — last 10 agent actions with timestamps
How It Works
The Dashboard pulls data from an API sidecar that aggregates metrics from Prometheus and the agent runtime. Updates stream in real-time via WebSocket — no polling, no refresh needed.
The cost estimator tracks token usage per model and applies your configured pricing rates. Useful for budgeting multi-agent deployments.
Chat
A multi-agent chat interface built into Gangway. Talk to any agent — or all of them — from your browser.
Features
- Agent selector — switch between Sencho, Takumi, Bannin, or any custom agent
- Session management — multiple concurrent conversations, each with its own context
- Message history — full conversation history, searchable, with timestamps
- Rich rendering — code blocks, tables, images, file attachments
- Mobile responsive — works on phone and tablet
Why Use Chat vs Telegram/Discord?
Chat gives you direct, low-latency access to agents without external dependencies. It’s useful for:
- Initial setup and testing
- Sensitive conversations you don’t want on third-party platforms
- Multi-agent coordination in a single view
- Debugging agent behavior with full context
Nava — Knowledge Explorer
Nava is your searchable knowledge base. Agents can push insights, findings, and summaries here — and you can browse, pin, and filter them.
Features
- Searchable cards — each piece of knowledge is a card with title, summary, source, and timestamp
- Pinned insights — star important findings for quick access
- Category filters — filter by agent, topic, date, or custom tags
- Overlay reader — click any card to expand it in a full overlay with rich markdown rendering
- Agent attribution — every card shows which agent created it and when
How Agents Use Nava
When Sencho researches a topic, the findings get stored as Nava cards. When Takumi analyzes a CI failure, the root cause summary becomes a card. Over time, Nava becomes your team’s institutional knowledge — searchable, organized, and always growing.
You can also create cards manually or import from external sources.
Learn
Six built-in sections that explain the platform to new users and serve as a reference for experienced ones.
How It Works
Platform architecture explained in plain language. How agents run, how messages flow, how data is stored.
Your Agents
Guide to each agent role — capabilities, configuration, and customization options.
Platform Security
Zero-trust model, namespace isolation, network policies, secret management, and audit logging.
Data Privacy
Where data lives, who can access it, encryption at rest and in transit, data retention policies.
Backup & Recovery
Automated backup strategy, recovery procedures, RPO/RTO targets, and disaster recovery runbooks.
Getting Help
How to troubleshoot, where to file issues, community support channels, and upgrade paths.
Wiki
Connect your own documentation and make it searchable from Gangway.
- Markdown rendering — write docs in markdown, Wiki renders them beautifully
- Search — full-text search across all connected doc sources
- Git-backed — point Wiki at a Git repo and it syncs automatically
- Versioned — browse doc history and compare changes
- Cross-linked — link between Wiki pages and Nava cards
Perfect for runbooks, onboarding guides, architecture decisions, and team knowledge that doesn’t belong in Nava’s auto-generated cards.
Governance
Control what your agents can do, what data they can access, and when to pull the plug.
Model Access Controls
- Choose which LLM models each agent can use
- Set token limits per agent per day/week/month
- Require approval for model upgrades
- Audit all model API calls with full request/response logging
PII Management
- Automatic PII detection in agent inputs and outputs
- Configurable redaction rules (mask, hash, or block)
- Per-agent PII policies (Bannin might need customer names; Takumi doesn’t)
- Audit trail for all PII access events
Data Classification — 5 Levels
Level 1 — Public Open data. No restrictions.
Level 2 — Internal Team-visible. Not for external sharing.
Level 3 — Confidential Restricted access. Logged and audited.
Level 4 — Sensitive PII, credentials, financial data. Encrypted, access-controlled.
Level 5 — Critical Security keys, master credentials. Hardware-backed secrets only.
Kill Switch
Emergency stop for any or all agents. One click in Governance, or via kubectl:
kubectl scale deploy sencho --replicas=0 -n kantai
The kill switch terminates agent processes immediately, preserves all state, and logs the event. Agents can be restarted when ready.
Tetraban — Work Tracker
A dynamic visualization of what your agents are doing right now and what they’ve done recently.
Features
- Live activity feed — real-time stream of agent actions
- Task cards — each task shows agent, status, duration, and outcome
- Timeline view — visualize agent activity over hours/days/weeks
- Filtering — by agent, task type, status, or time range
- Export — download activity data as CSV or JSON
Why It Matters
Tetraban gives you visibility into agent work that would otherwise be invisible. How many tasks did Takumi complete today? How long did Bannin spend on support tickets? Is Sencho idle or overloaded?
Use Tetraban for capacity planning, cost allocation, and understanding how your fleet actually spends its time.
