Custom agents

Custom agents for policy decisions at scale

Build an agent around the exact policy decision your team needs to operate: prompts, outputs, chats, streams, reports, appeals, or high-risk escalations. Cinder agents are trained on your policies, examples, and reviewer decisions, so clear cases move fast and hard calls escalate with context.

Overview

Your policy, encoded into the operating loop

Generic classifiers can catch generic violations. They cannot understand the product context, policy nuance, and risk thresholds that make your decisions defensible.

Cinder custom agents turn your policies, examples, evals, and reviewer decisions into workflows your team can inspect, measure, and improve. Use them for GenAI safety, UGC moderation, live surfaces, appeals, policy QA, and sensitive escalations without forcing every problem into a generic classifier.

Capabilities

How custom agents work

  • Configure on top of your policies

    Define the policy, the data the agent should consider, and the actions it can take. No model training degree required.

  • Live training on your team's reviews

    Every reviewer's decision becomes training signal. The agent gets sharper at your problem, not someone else's.

  • External tool use

    Agents can browse the web, hit your APIs, and pull third-party signals when the call requires more context than any single input provides.

  • Backtesting before production

    Run new agents against historical data to see what would have changed: false positives, false negatives, queue impact, before anything ships.

  • Co-built when you want it

    Spin one up yourself, or partner with our services team to design and train it alongside your operators.

Capabilities

What teams have built

01

Prompt & output safety agents

For validating prompts, model outputs, jailbreak attempts, and generated content before and after launch.

02

Live surface moderation agents

For streams, comments, chats, uploads, and high-volume UGC decisions that need fast, policy-grounded enforcement.

03

Child-safety signal agents

For extracting and escalating sensitive child-safety signals while keeping human review in control.

04

Policy QA agents

For checking reviewer decisions, agent performance, and policy drift across high-risk queues.

05

Appeals and escalation agents

For routing hard calls with case history, policy context, and evidence attached.
