🛡️ Announcing SafeguardAI: The Ultimate Safety Toolkit for LLM Applications

In the rapidly evolving world of Generative AI, building a powerful application is only half the battle. The other half? Keeping it safe, compliant, and trustworthy.

As developers, we’ve all faced the same challenges:

  • How do we keep toxic content out of our AI chat interfaces?
  • How do we ensure users aren't accidentally leaking PII (Personally Identifiable Information)?
  • How do we comply with strict regulations like GDPR or HIPAA without spending weeks on custom moderation logic?

Today, I’m excited to announce the launch of SafeguardAI—a high-performance, developer-first toolkit designed to solve these problems in seconds.

🚀 What is SafeguardAI?

SafeguardAI is an all-in-one NPM package that provides context-aware content moderation, automatic PII detection, and custom safety rule enforcement for AI-driven applications.

Whether you’re building a customer support bot, an AI-powered content platform, or integrating LLMs into your enterprise workflow, SafeguardAI acts as a "smart gatekeeper" between your users and your AI.

🌟 Key Features

1. Advanced Text Moderation

Leveraging cutting-edge AI models, SafeguardAI detects toxicity, hate speech, violence, and sexual content with high precision. It doesn't just block—it provides severity scores and detailed categories.

2. Built-in PII Detection & Redaction

Protect user privacy by automatically detecting and masking emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, and more. Our hybrid engine processes most patterns locally for maximum speed and privacy.

3. Custom Safety Rules

Every business is unique. With SafeguardAI, you can add your own blocked words and custom regex patterns to enforce brand safety and internal compliance.

4. Provider Agnostic

While we ship with a powerful OpenAI integration, our architecture is built for the future. You can easily plug in other providers like Azure, AWS, or Perspective API.

💎 The SafeguardAI Advantage

Why use SafeguardAI instead of building your own moderation logic?

  • Unified Stack: Stop juggling three different libraries. We handle moderation, PII, and custom rules in one package.
  • Privacy-First: PII detection happens locally, so sensitive data never has to leave your server unless you want it to.
  • Developer Experience: Written in TypeScript with full type safety and zero-config defaults.

⚡ Quick Start

Installing SafeguardAI is as simple as:

npm install safeguard-ai

Getting your first safety check running takes less than a minute:

const SafeguardAI = require('safeguard-ai');
const moderator = new SafeguardAI({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });

const result = await moderator.checkText("Check this message for safety.");

if (result.flagged) {
  console.log("⚠️ Flagged Categories:", result.categories);
} else {
  console.log("✅ Safe to proceed!");
}

🛡️ Protecting Your Business, Empowering Your Users

AI safety isn't just about blocking "bad words." It's about building trust. By implementing SafeguardAI, you're telling your users that their privacy matters and their experience will be safe.

Moreover, it helps you:

  • Reduce Costs: Automate 99% of moderation tasks.
  • Ensure Compliance: Meet legal requirements (GDPR/HIPAA) out of the box.
  • Scale Faster: Focus on your core AI features while we handle the safety logic.

🤝 Join the Journey

SafeguardAI is open-source and we’re just getting started. I’d love for you to try it out, break it, and help us make it better.

Let’s build a safer AI future, together. 🛡️✨
