No Unsafe Functionality (e.g. prompt injection)


No Unsafe Functionality (e.g. prompt injection)


✅ Anathem develops its own prompts and tests all prompts against synthetic transcripts prior to release. Prompts are personalised to specific service requirements. Once prompts are deployed into the live environment they are improved through a process of feedback from users to our prompt engineers who will extensively test any improvements prior to the prompts going live. 

Anathem is resistant to jail-breaking and LLM manipulation as clinicians are not able to add their own prompts or modify existing prompts. 

Anathem prompt design and schema and implemented guardrails recognises and avoids  model  manipulation of outputs via inputted transcripts and documents . 

Anathem routinely tests for impact of malicious transcripts.

How long is data stored on Anathem for?

Depending on your requirements, Anathem can customise data storage options— from 1 day to multiple years. You can set this during onboarding with the Anathem team. Data is stored within the UK.

Do my interactions get used for AI model training?

No sensitive information is used for training our model. You can check out our privacy policy for more information.

How does Anathem account for written information that is not explicitly given to the model?

We believe outputs from AI should be explainable and fact based. All statements generated can be traced back to source, so that users can see the direct evidence from the source.

How does Anathem prevent the AI hallucinating?

Responsible AI necessitates enhanced accuracy measures. Our inferability engine verifies statement accuracy and derivability, highlighting uncertain claims for user verification. For more information, get in touch and we can talk you through it.

What happens if I have a weak wifi connection?

Anathem has an offline mode, so it will continue working in the background until your device reconnects.

How can I access Anathem?

Once set up, you can access Anathem via your web browser. We also have a mobile app coming early 2025.
