Structural guarantees on model output.
Guardrails AI validates what goes into and comes out of a language model against rules you define — schema conformance\, no PII\, no toxic content\, factual grounding — and re-asks or corrects when validation fails.
Treating model output as untrusted input that must be validated is simply correct engineering\, and this makes that practical rather than bespoke. It is open source with a public hub of shared validators\, so common checks are already written.
