Multi-model AI with a patent-pending AI Firewall — for teams where data privacy is not optional. 47 models, one workspace, sensitive data stays home.
Regulated organizations (e.g., in-house legal teams) face inconsistent, unverifiable answers when relying on a single AI model, plus data-privacy risk when sending sensitive information to AI models.
Backplain is a governed multi-model AI workspace that sends one prompt to up to ten frontier models simultaneously so users can compare answers, combined with an 'AI Firewall' that intercepts and strips sensitive data before it reaches any model.
Backplain highlights a patent-pending AI Firewall with three configurable modes (Hard Block, User Warning, Silent Reconstitute), access to 47 models across 9 providers in one workspace, founders who are former Intuit leaders, and use by in-house legal teams at regulated companies.
Backplain was founded by former Intuit leaders; co-founder and CEO Tim O'Neal previously worked in IT and Operations at Intuit Health.
