Why we build G-1

AI is becoming part of our lives. Let's make it trustworthy.

AI apps now answer customers, write code and act for people. Each call can go wrong in a new way: a made-up fact, a jailbreak, a command hidden in a document. G-1 gives the code around the model a verdict on every call, so it can act before the answer ships.
