Compliance guardrails-as-a-service for AI apps

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We provide a guardrails-as-a-service platform that filters harmful inputs and outputs from AI applications based on a company's specific policies and industry regulations. Our product lets engineering and product teams easily create, test, deploy, and refine these guardrails at runtime, so AI-powered products stay compliant without building expensive internal tooling.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

Shaun is in San Francisco; Raul is remote. After YC, the company will be based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose San Francisco because it keeps us close to enterprise customers and a strong developer community. Being remote flexible helps us tap talent and work efficiently.
