About Superwise
Superwise lets teams watch a guardrail fire before letting it block anything.
Superwise's Sentinel gateway is filling out its guardrail set and the reporting around it. Version 1.41 added a PHI detector that uses a model to find health details in free text and redacts or blocks them before the prompt reaches the LLM. Version 1.42 adds a Flag action that records a finding without changing the request, and dashboards now split traffic into passed versus findings, with blocked, remediated and flagged counts and custom ranges up to 180 days.
