About Guardrails AI

Our mission is to unlock the opportunity offered by Generative AI by removing key barriers in the reliability and robustness of AI systems. We understand the potential of Generative AI, but we also see its limitations. Traditional software sets a high bar for reliability, and right now, LLMs aren't quite there. That's where we step in — we're passionate about extracting all the incredible possibilities Generative AI offers, and keen on empowering AI builders to get to production.

Guardrails AI manages AI volatility with guardrails that actively detect, quantify and mitigate specific types of AI risks. Multiple guardrails can be combined together to form input and output guards that protect your application from risks like hallucinations, PII and data leakage, financial advice, competitor mentions, going off topic, etc.

We're an open source company with two OSS products: Guardrails Hub (a repository of 50+ guardrails across many use cases) and Guardrails orchestration framework (framework for combining and running guards with parallelism, streaming and logging support).

We recently raised $7.5 million in a seed round led by Zetta Venture Partners with participation from Factory, Pear VC, Bloomberg Beta, GitHub Fund and angels including renowned AI expert Ian Goodfellow.
