Your AI agent shouldn't see raw sensitive data to do its job. Most of the time it doesn't need to. Astra tokenizes PHI, PCI, and PII before it reaches your agent. It reasons on safe tokens, acts on real values at execution the raw data never touches the model context. Two lines of code. Works with any agent framework.
Hey everyone 👋, I'm excited to launch Astra today,
I built Astra after a hallway conversation at AWS where someone asked how Bedrock prevents LLMs from seeing customer data. Great perimeter story but nobody had solved what the agent sees inside the prompt.
The gap is simple: your agent doesn't need to read a patient's SSN to decide what to do with it. It just needs to know a value exists. Astra intercepts before the prompt, agent works on tokens, real values resolve only at execution.
Would love to hear from anyone building agents on regulated data and i will be more than happy to answer anything.
This is a critical problem in financial services. When we build project finance models for renewable energy deals, the data flowing through them — tariff structures, counterparty financials, tax equity terms — is highly sensitive. The idea that AI agents can reason on tokenized data without ever seeing the raw values is exactly what regulated industries need to adopt AI safely. I publish financial model templates on Eloquens (https://www.eloquens.com/channel/samir-asadov-cfa) and data privacy in model distribution is always a concern. Would love to see this applied to financial modeling workflows.
I’m a researcher for H1Gallery newsletters (you can google us).
We’re featuring Astra in the April 17 H1Gallery issue. H1Gallery highlights excellent homepage headlines, and “AI agents handle sensitive data every day. They shouldn't see it.” really stood out to us. Its clear and compelling.
I wanted to reach out to see if you’d be open to sharing a quick comment on the copywriting strategy behind that headline and the broader messaging. We’d love to include a short note from your team on how you approached it.
Totally optional, of course . The feature is happening regardless either way. Our readers love to hear from the creators behind the headlines tho. And sorry for the late notice!
Thank you so much. Love the product!
What’s the “switching moment” you see: is it a specific incident (PII leaking via tool-call JSON, agent memory, or observability), a compliance review (PCI/HIPAA), or a product requirement—and what would make a team rip out their current proxy/redaction layer for Astra?
@obed_mpaka1 the tokenization-before-prompt approach is interesting — what happens when the agent's reasoning output references a token and you need to log or audit that decision? Does the audit trail show the real value or does it stay tokenized end-to-end?

Who hunted Astra?
Astra was hunted by Obed Mpaka. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
