About Overrule
AI is shipping fast. Governance should ship faster.
We're building the runtime compliance layer AI teams have been missing. Every LLM call intercepted, every policy enforced, every decision logged — so you can ship AI to production and prove it's governed.

The problem
The EU AI Act enforcement begins August 2, 2026. Fines go up to €35M or 7% of global revenue. Every company shipping AI needs runtime governance — not a static policy doc, but active enforcement with proof.
Yet most teams are still cobbling together ad-hoc checks scattered across their codebase. No centralized enforcement. No audit trail. No way to prove compliance when regulators come knocking.
We built Overrule because governance should be infrastructure, not overhead. One SDK wraps your LLM calls. Policies evaluate in under a millisecond. Violations are blocked before they reach users. Everything is logged for auditors. And if our SDK ever fails, your app keeps running — fail-open, always.
What teams get
- ●Centralized policy outcomes across models and endpoints
- ●Structured audit logs for internal reviews and regulators
- ●Fail-open resilience so governance never becomes outage risk
- ●Developer-first integration with minimal implementation friction
Our operating pillars
Runtime enforcement
Prompt injection, PII and misuse checks execute where requests happen — before responses hit end-users.
Continuous visibility
Streams, posture signals, and policy outcomes give teams one governance truth across environments.
Compliance by design
Built to map technical controls into regulator-friendly evidence for EU AI Act and enterprise audits.
What we believe
Ship governance as code
Compliance shouldn't live in a Notion doc. It should be enforced at runtime, every request, automatically.
Never break production
Fail-open by default. Our SDK errors should never become your outage. Uptime is sacred.
Prove it, don't promise it
Regulators don't want your policy PDF. They want structured evidence that enforcement is active.
Developer-first
One import. One line of code. If governance requires a 50-page integration guide, it won't get adopted.

I saw the same problem at every AI startup — brilliant products struggling to ship compliant, simply because there was no runtime governance. The tools that existed were clunky, slow, or required months of integration. I built Overrule to fix that.
My mission is to make runtime AI governance accessible to every business, from solo bootstrappers to funded startups. If you can paste one line of code, you can ship governed AI with confidence.
