Full Observability
OpenTelemetry instrumentation, Grafana dashboards, distributed tracing (Tempo), metrics (Prometheus), and log correlation.
Self-Hosted Deployment
Deploy in your cloud via Helm charts. GKE Autopilot, Docker Compose for dev, ArgoCD GitOps. Your data never leaves your infra. Available on the Enterprise plan.
Coming Soon
PII Shield
Automatic PII detection via Microsoft Presidio. Three modes: disabled, shadow, enforce. Reversible masking or permanent redaction.
Sentinel — Prompt Defense
Block jailbreak attempts with pre-compiled pattern detection and custom blocklists per project.
Kill Switches
Instant emergency shutdown at global, tenant, or project level. Checked at the gateway before any processing happens.
Smart LLM Routing

Behest vs. the Alternatives
AI Gateways observe traffic. Behest operates the backend. Here's what that means in practice.

| Multi-tenant Auth | You build it | |||
| Conversation Memory | You build it | |||
| Rate Limiting | 3-tier | You build it | Basic | |
| Token Budgets | Partial | You build it | ||
| PII Scrubbing | Coming soon | Via plugins | You build it | |
| Prompt Injection Defense | Coming soon | Via plugins | You build it | |
| Kill Switches | Coming soon | You build it | ||
| Usage Analytics | You build it | Basic | ||

vs. AI Gateways
Portkey and Helicone observe and route traffic. Behest is the actual backend — managing auth, memory, PII, rate limiting, and token budgets. They watch. We operate.
vs. Building Your Own
Auth + rate limiting + CORS + PII + memory + observability from scratch = months of engineering. Behest deploys all of it in your cloud in hours.
vs. Direct LLM APIs
OpenAI and Anthropic provide the model. Behest provides everything between your app and the model — CORS, auth, memory, PII, prompt defense, budgets.
Build the App, Not the AI
Stop wasting time on infrastructure. Behest provides the complete GenAI backend—knowledge, memory, and logic—so you can ship secure enterprise applications today.
