About us
Our mission and team
The safest AI request is governed before it runs. Shim puts privacy, budgets, usage, and audit evidence around OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini traffic.
Govern Before Compute
Every request is authenticated and checked against rate limits, quotas, and spend policy. Each explicit model is also checked against the approved catalog before the configured provider is called.
POLICY BEFORE UPSTREAM
Durable Accountability
Request lifecycle, token usage, cost, budgets, and audit intent are recorded as tenant-scoped facts teams can inspect.
EVIDENCE, NOT GUESSWORK
Privacy at the Boundary
Configured PII is replaced before the selected provider call, then restored in the response without persisting the raw prompt in durable request records.
SCRUB BEFORE UPSTREAM
