SHIM: an AI gateway that scrubs PII before it reaches the LLM
built this with two co-founders in Istanbul. the short version: you point your app at us instead of OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini directly, we strip customer data, API keys, and other stuff that shouldn't leave the building out of the prompt, then forward it to whatever model you're using. under 100ms added latency. also gives you an audit trail if anyone ever asks "prove this was handled properly" (KVKK, GDPR, EU AI Act all want that answer eventually).
started building it after watching teams, including ourselves, paste real customer data into prompts without a second thought. figured there should be something sitting in between that catches it automatically instead of relying on everyone remembering not to.
we're mid build right now, MCP traffic support just landed alongside the LLM gateway. would love feedback from anyone dealing with this problem, or just tell me I'm wrong about something, that's useful too.
I would love for you to give it a go and tell me how it feels
