SHIM

What is Shim?

Shim is an enterprise-grade AI gateway designed to optimize, secure, and manage your organization's interactions with Large Language Models (LLMs). Positioned as a middleware layer, it integrates with a single line of code to intercept AI traffic between your applications and providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini. Its core purpose is to provide full visibility into AI usage, enforce privacy, quota, spend, usage, and audit controls.

The platform is engineered for production environments, offering a robust solution for businesses looking to scale their AI implementations responsibly. By acting as a centralized control plane, Shim empowers developers and organizations to manage costs, enhance security, and govern AI usage, privacy, budgets, and provider access while preserving native payloads and response formats. It provides a comprehensive dashboard for real-time monitoring and analytics, making it an essential tool for any AI-powered operation.

Why Choose Shim?

• Robust Security and Compliance: Shim automatically redacts Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from prompts before they are sent to third-party AI models. This configurable redaction replaces configured emails, identifiers, cards, and secrets before the selected provider receives the request, helping protect sensitive data.
• Data Privacy: SHIM does not persist raw prompts in durable request records. Configured PII is redacted before requests are sent to providers, while required encrypted and expiring mappings may be retained for supported OpenAI Responses continuations.
• Effortless Integration and Unification: Shim provides a unified gateway for native OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini APIs. Integration is seamless, requiring minimal code changes to route your existing AI traffic through the gateway, allowing you to get started in minutes.

Advanced Features of Shim

• Context-Aware PII Redaction: The platform provides configurable PII detection and redaction, replacing configured emails, identifiers, cards, and secrets before requests are sent to the selected provider.
• Enterprise-Grade Architecture: Built for production workloads, Shim uses enterprise-grade infrastructure and separates the control plane from the data plane, ensuring that your business logic remains isolated and secure while benefiting from a resilient and performant gateway.

Key Capabilities of Shim

• Automated PII Redaction & Security: Provides a robust shield for sensitive data, automatically detecting and redacting PII to maintain compliance and prevent data leaks. Provider credentials are stored behind tenant-bound secret references and resolved only for the request that needs them.
• Centralized AI Traffic Visibility: Offers a dashboard for monitoring requests, usage, budgets, PII activity, and other operational metrics across connected AI providers.
• Multi-Provider API Unification: Acts as one trust boundary for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini, simplifying governance while preserving their native APIs.
• Data Privacy Architecture: Keeps raw prompts out of durable request records while providing PII redaction, encrypted temporary mappings for supported continuations, and tenant-scoped usage and audit records.

How to Use Shim?

1. Create an Account: Sign up on the Shim platform to gain access to your personal dashboard and generate API credentials.
2. Configure Your Provider: Add your existing AI provider API keys (e.g., from OpenAI) to the Shim dashboard. Provider credentials are stored behind tenant-bound secret references and resolved only when required for a request.
3. Update Your Application Endpoint: In your application's code, simply replace the direct API endpoint of your LLM provider with the unique gateway URL provided by Shim.
4. Monitor and Optimize: Once integrated, AI traffic will flow through Shim. You can monitor requests, usage, budgets, PII activity, and configure governance and privacy controls through the Shim dashboard.
