LlamaIndex is a “data framework” to help you build LLM apps. Connect semi-structured data from API's like Slack, Salesforce, Notion, etc. LlamaIndex is a simple, flexible data framework for connecting custom data sources to large language models. LlamaIndex provides the key tools to augment your LLM applications with data. Connect your existing data sources and data formats (API's, PDF's, documents, SQL, etc.) to use with a large language model application. Store and index your data for different use cases. Integrate with downstream vector store and database providers. LlamaIndex provides a query interface that accepts any input prompt over your data and returns a knowledge-augmented response. Connect unstructured sources such as documents, raw text files, PDF's, videos, images, etc. Easily integrate structured data sources from Excel, SQL, etc. Provides ways to structure your data (indices, graphs) so that this data can be easily used with LLMs.

NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails is an open-source toolkit designed to enhance the safety, security, and compliance of large language model-based conversational applications. It enables developers to define, orchestrate, and enforce multiple AI guardrails, ensuring that generative AI interactions remain accurate, appropriate, and on-topic. The toolkit leverages Colang, a specialized language for designing flexible dialogue flows, and integrates seamlessly with popular AI development frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex. NeMo Guardrails offers features such as content safety, topic control, personal identifiable information detection, retrieval-augmented generation enforcement, and jailbreak prevention. Additionally, the recently introduced NeMo Guardrails microservice simplifies rail orchestration with API-based interaction and tools for enhanced guardrail management and maintenance.
