Pontus

What is Pontus?

Pontus is an open-source AI orchestration layer built around data privacy. It masks sensitive data before it reaches third-party services and demasks it on your own servers, so businesses can build AI applications with privacy integrated into the workflow.

Its core feature is intelligent prompt sanitization: a similarity search algorithm detects private information and replaces it with tokenized versions, protecting customer trust without degrading AI performance. Pontus also provides secure retrieval augmented generation (RAG), ensuring only sanitized and redacted documents are shared with services like OpenAI.

Key features

• Prompt sanitization: Automatically detects and anonymizes protected information, supporting compliance with regulations such as GDPR and CPRA.
• Data masking and demasking: Sensitive data sent to third-party services is masked and restored on your own servers.
• Secure RAG: Only sanitized, redacted documents are shared with external AI services.
• Access control: Role-based access controls govern data handling when interacting with LLM providers.
• LLM compatibility: Works with common LLMs, including models you host internally.

Pricing and support

Pontus offers two plans:

• Open-source plan: Suited to hobby projects, small startups, and non-commercial use.
• Business plan: For companies that need additional support and features, especially when deploying on their own servers.

Community support is available, and you can book a demo to see how Pontus can improve the trust and safety of your AI systems.
