Guardrails, cost controls, and compliance built in. They sell tools. We run your AI ops.
We don't sell you a dashboard and walk away. We operate the full AI reliability stack for your team.
Real-time tracing of every LLM call. Latency, throughput, error rates, and token usage across your entire AI stack — with alerting that actually matters.
Continuous evaluation of model outputs against your quality benchmarks. Catch hallucinations, measure relevance, and track drift before your users do.
Input and output validation at inference time. Block unsafe content, enforce policy compliance, and prevent prompt injection — all with sub-300ms overhead.
Granular cost attribution by model, user, and use case. Budget enforcement, spend alerts, and optimization recommendations that save real money.
Tool vendors sell software and walk away. You still need engineers to configure it, interpret data, and respond to incidents.
Every competitor sells you a tool. We run the operation.
