Features

Everything you need to ship secure agents.

One platform to build, protect and deploy AI agents, from a single prompt to a production team of agents, on any model.

Detects PII before it reaches any model and removes, masks or transforms it, then relinks the originals in the response. Add your own entity types, from employee names to product codes.

Custodian

They help you build an agent for yourself. Custodian puts it to work for your team and customers.

ChatGPT and Claude are great for building an agent for yourself: a custom assistant inside the chat app, or agent code they write for you. Putting that agent in front of your team or customers is a different job. It needs a link or API people outside the app can use, sensitive data kept away from the model, and hosting that keeps it running. Custodian is that production layer, ready on day one.

Keep using ChatGPT or Claude for your own work. Your agents can run on the same models, and 100+ more. Switch with one line.

Custodian

Six lines, or none at all.

As much or as little as you like. Here's the same support agent, with a knowledge base, memory and PII protection, built three ways:

agent.py

1from custodian_labs import Custodian

4 model="gpt-4o",
5 system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant...",
6)

Custodian

No. The Guardian Layer steps in first.

Every message is scanned for sensitive data (PII) before any model sees it. Names, emails, amounts and your own custom entities are masked, redacted or swapped for realistic stand-ins, then the originals are relinked in the response you get back.

Your dataMessages and documents, sensitive details included.
Guardian LayerProtects sensitive data before it leaves your environment.
Any AI modelOnly ever sees the protected version.
Guardian LayerRelinks your original details into the reply.
OutputA complete answer, with your originals back in place.
Your original sensitive data never leaves your environment.

The Guardian Layer is on by default. You can turn it off for any agent, but sensitive data then goes to the model as-is, at your own risk.

See how the Guardian Layer works

Custodian

You choose the degree of protection, without losing the context.

Most privacy tools only strip PII, and stripping context breaks AI accuracy. With the Guardian Layer you set the degree of protection: remove it completely, mask it, or transform it with our research-backed method that keeps the context and links the originals back. Nothing sensitive leaves your environment.

Most privateMost context

Research-backedSwaps PII for realistic stand-ins, so the model keeps the full context, then links the originals back into the reply.

Any of 100+, including Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral and open-source models.

Pick a model per agent, or bring your own API key. No code needed: just click the model you want in the builder. In code, it's a one-line change. Either way, your agent logic, knowledge base and guardrails stay exactly as they are.

No. There's nothing to host.

Upload PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, CSV or text files and Custodian handles chunking, embeddings, retrieval and citations. Deploying gives you a hosted chat endpoint with session memory built in.

Yes. Switch tools on per agent.

Agents can search the web, read and send Gmail, post to X, scrape pages and parse documents. Anything else plugs in through MCP.
