Guardrails AI: Validation and Accuracy of AI

Guardrails AI provides a solution for validating and ensuring accuracy in AI applications, particularly in the context of customer support chatbots. Factuality and hallucinations are key concerns when implementing generative AI, and Guardrails AI offers validation techniques to address these issues. The company's approach involves an input guard, which checks prompts for specific risks such as PII leakage or off-topic conversations, and an output guard, which ensures compliance, factuality, and etiquette in the generated responses. The architecture emphasizes the critical path, providing a safety layer during runtime to validate and verify AI outputs before they are sent to the application.
