Launch YC: Galini - Compliance guardrails for AI applications
"Ensure your AI applications comply with your company policies, industry standards and regulations"

TL;DR - Galini guardrails filter harmful inputs and outputs based on company policies and industry regulations. They make it easy for companies to create, evaluate, deploy and monitor guardrails. With Galini, product and engineering leaders enjoy peace of mind knowing their AI apps are compliant at run-time, and save $1-10M from avoiding an in-house build.

Ask: If you are building or using AI applications, let them take run-time compliance off your plate. Email the founders here or refer them to others who may need this.

Founded by Shaun Ayrton & Raul Zablah

Shaun Ayrton (CEO) – A former McKinsey leader, Shaun drove $500M+ in revenue acceleration at leading global software and telecom clients. He witnessed firsthand how companies struggle to manage the risks of AI deployment.

Raul Zablah (CTO) - As a former senior staff engineer, Raul has built and scaled industry-leading enterprise platforms at Bridgewater, Morgan Stanley and Ridgeline and has published papers in the field. His specialization is SRE and making technology work securely and reliably at enterprise scale.

Shaun and Raul met on their first day at UPenn’s M&T program in 2011 and have been dear friends since.

❌ The Problem:

Compliance and trust are major barriers to scaling AI, with one in two executives fearing reputational damage.

Ignoring the problem does not make it go away: A staggering 44% of organizations have reported negative consequences from using AI chatbots and assistants.

The cost of non-compliance is rising: Fines of 7% annual revenues (or 35M EUR) for non-compliance with EU AI Act; similar regulations are fast approaching in the US.

Companies are not ready: Only 6% feel ready to accommodate these changes, while 80% are committing 10%+ of their AI budgets to compliance.

✅ Use cases:

Most customer- or employee-facing AI applications require guardrails:

  • Search: Block non-compliant queries and prevent exposing sensitive or proprietary information to users.
  • Chatbots: Ensure responses are accurate and compliant with company policies.
  • Assistants: Stop misleading advice in violation with company policies that could cause negative PR or legal risks.
  • Agents: Control scope and prevent unauthorized actions or transactions.
  • Recommendation engines: Filter outputs to avoid biased, irrelevant or offensive suggestions that damage brand trust.
  • Decisioning systems: Ensure automated decisions (e.g., loan approvals, hiring) meet regulatory standards and prevent discriminatory outcomes.

No enterprise-grade guardrail solutions exist today. Companies incur $1-10M+ in costs annually and 6-12 months in delays building guardrails in-house.
