Patronus guards your agents at runtime with safety guardrails. Converra fixes the prompts so fewer failures happen in the first place — automatically, before they reach production.
Patronus is excellent for teams that need runtime safety and compliance:
Converra is built for teams who've hit the ceiling on manual optimization, where the next iteration costs more than it's worth:
Patronus guards your agents. Converra improves them.
Patronus catches what slips through. Converra reduces what slips through in the first place. Defense in depth.
Patronus catches safety issues at runtime
Converra uses failure patterns to generate and test prompt improvements
Fewer failures reach the guardrails in the first place
Yes. Patronus is the safety net, Converra reduces what it needs to catch.
No. Guardrails are a runtime safety layer. Converra improves prompts so fewer failures reach the guardrails. Defense in depth.
Yes. Safety and policy adherence are core evaluation metrics. You can focus optimization on reducing unsafe outputs.
Red-teaming identifies vulnerabilities. Converra can then generate and test prompt fixes that address those vulnerabilities specifically.
Different categories entirely. Patronus is runtime safety infrastructure. Converra is continuous prompt improvement. They solve different problems.
