What is it?

Guardrails AI wraps your LLM calls with validation logic. Define what valid output looks like (JSON schema, no PII, no toxic content) and Guardrails enforces it — auto-retrying if the model fails.

How does it work?

You define a Guard with validators from their hub (100+ available). When you call the LLM through Guardrails, it validates the response, masks PII, checks for toxicity, and retries if needed.

Why does it matter?

Raw LLM output is unpredictable. Guardrails makes it production-safe — you get structured, validated, safe responses or explicit failures.

Who is it for?

Teams building LLM-powered apps that need reliable, safe outputs.
