Companies deploying AI
are flying blind

AI is being pushed into production across Africa with no visibility, no safety checks, and no guardrails.

💸

Runaway API costs

A single misconfigured prompt loop can generate thousands of dollars in LLM charges overnight. Most teams find out on their monthly invoice.

🔓

Security threats go undetected

Prompt injections, PII leaks, and toxic outputs are invisible without dedicated tooling. Fintech and healthtech are especially exposed.

🌍

No local solution exists

Existing tools like Datadog start at $3,000/month and are built for US enterprises. African startups are left unprotected or patching things together.

One SDK. Three steps.
Total coverage.

01 — INSTALL

Wrap your LLM calls

Drop in the Lantern SDK. All traffic routes through it. No infrastructure changes required. Two lines of code.

02 — PROTECT
🛡

Guardrails in real time

Every request scanned for prompt injections, PII leaks, and toxic outputs before hitting the API.

03 — MONITOR
📊

See everything

Cost, latency, errors, and incidents in a live dashboard. Alerts fire the moment anything spikes.

Simple, usage-based pricing
