Support the work

EL AI Intelligence is a one-person company building deterministic safety infrastructure for AI. Not all of it is open source — Guardrail is commercial software, and that's what pays the bills. Your support goes to the parts anyone can use for free: the source-available Engram memory vault, the public sync relay, the published docs and benchmarks, and Guardrail's free tier.

What your support does

Guardrail’s paid plans fund Guardrail. Donations fund the work that earns nothing:

  • Engram — the source-available memory vault, published releases, and its free public sync relay
  • Docs and benchmarks — the reproducible numbers we publish for everyone to check
  • The free tier — Guardrail’s free plan stays free because supported work subsidizes it

Donations are gifts to the business, not investments — they carry no ownership and no promises beyond what’s listed here.

    FAQ

    Is my donation tax-deductible? No. EL AI Intelligence, LLC is a for-profit company, not a nonprofit, so donations are not tax-deductible. Think of it as directly funding the free infrastructure you rely on.

    Does a donation make me an investor or partner? No. Support is a gift with recognition — no ownership, no equity, no special claims on the business.

    Can I support with something other than money? Yes — beta testing, bug reports, documentation fixes, and honest feedback all count. Email us to tell us what you’d like to contribute.
