Who We Are

Astroware is an AI security startup focused on safety, alignment, and agentic security research. We build tools and models that make AI systems safer to deploy at scale, with a particular focus on guard models and constitutional AI classifiers that act as runtime security layers for AI agents.

We use Constitutional AI to build guard models that hold their alignment even under adversarial conditions — with principled refusals, adversarial robustness, and explainable decision boundaries. On industry jailbreak benchmarks, our approach has cut attack success from 86% to under 1%.

What We're Working On

🔒 Guard Models & Constitutional Classifiers

Our core research area. We develop guard models that serve as runtime security layers for AI agents, preventing jailbreaks, prompt injection, and unsafe behavior. Our classifiers are built on a constitutional AI framework with structured severity tiers across harmful and benign behavioral categories, and are designed to produce explainable, auditable decisions rather than opaque blocks.

⚖️ Alignment Research

We conduct alignment training research for large language models, including constitutional frameworks, severity-tiered taxonomies, and structured datasets for supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning.
