🧩 Why SASI Middleware Matters
AI today drifts, forgets, and can be unsafe.
SASI solves this by adding a symbolic nervous system that:
- Tags emotions, risks, and values in real time.Scores alignment with the Symbolic Alignment Score (SAS).
- Provides continuity without storing raw logs (privacy-first NSI design).
- Keeps AI grounded in your ethics, your tone, your goals.
💼 SASI for Partners
We don’t just build apps, we sell and lease SASI middleware so other developers, startups, and enterprises can embed symbolic safety into their AI products.
- For startups → faster path to safe AI apps.
- For enterprises → protect brand integrity and user trust.
- For educators & policymakers → a model for ethical deployment at scale.
