I want to build a bias checker for llm outputs to see if the llm ...

...outputs are not discriminatory or toxic or bias

Idea type: Freemium

People love using similar products but resist paying. You’ll need to either find who will pay or create additional value that’s worth paying for.

Should You Build It?

Build but think about differentiation and monetization.

Your are here

You're entering a market where there's a growing awareness of the need to check LLM outputs for bias, toxicity, and discrimination. With 20 similar products already out there, the landscape is becoming competitive. The IDEA CATEGORY is Freemium, which means that people are open to using such tools but are also likely to resist paying for it. Therefore, you'll need to identify and highlight what makes your product different from the others and you will also have to figure out how to monetize it. Engagement with existing solutions is moderate, with an average of 5 comments per product. This suggests people are interested, but you will have to work to capture their attention. Several competing products focus on LLM vulnerability scanning, fact-checking, and red teaming. To break through, focus on a niche or provide a significantly more robust and user-friendly solution than what's currently available.

Recommendations

  1. Start by focusing on a specific type of bias or a specific industry. Given the freemium nature of this category, this will allow you to deeply solve the core problem for a specific audience and charge them for it. For example, you might focus on detecting gender bias in financial advice generated by LLMs.
  2. Develop a freemium model that provides basic bias checking for free, but charges for more advanced features. This could include detailed reports, custom bias definitions, or integration with CI/CD pipelines.
  3. Explore potential partnerships with LLM providers or companies that integrate LLMs into their products. Offering a bias-checking solution as part of their suite could be a valuable selling point for them.
  4. Consider focusing on team or enterprise solutions. As suggested by the provided IDEA CATEGORY, it is easier to charge teams rather than individuals. Teams and enterprises are more likely to pay for solutions that ensure compliance and reduce legal risks, because they are the ones who are most exposed.
  5. Actively seek feedback from users and iterate on your product based on their needs. User feedback from similar products highlights the importance of flexibility, ease of use, and integration with existing workflows.
  6. Address the criticisms leveled at similar products. Many users would like to see dynamic prompts, customizability, and cost metrics.
  7. Consider building in more explicit support for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, as that was requested by users on similar products. This could be a differentiating factor.
  8. Focus on creating an easy to understand UI, as that was specifically praised by users on the similar product, Langtail. A spreadsheet-like interface might be a good starting point.

Questions

  1. Given the competition in the LLM bias detection space, what specific niche or underserved area can you target to differentiate your product and attract early adopters?
  2. Considering the freemium nature of this market, what premium features can you offer that would provide significant value to teams and enterprises, justifying a paid subscription?
  3. How can you leverage partnerships with LLM providers or integrators to distribute your bias-checking solution and gain a competitive edge?

  • Confidence: High
    • Number of similar products: 20
  • Engagement: Medium
    • Average number of comments: 5
  • Net use signal: 9.3%
    • Positive use signal: 10.4%
    • Negative use signal: 1.1%
  • Net buy signal: 0.0%
    • Positive buy signal: 0.0%
    • Negative buy signal: 0.0%

This chart summarizes all the similar products we found for your idea in a single plot.

The x-axis represents the overall feedback each product received. This is calculated from the net use and buy signals that were expressed in the comments. The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.

The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category. The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.

The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.

Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.

Prompts to Reduce LLM Political Bias

17 Jun 2024 Artificial Intelligence

Each LLM possesses a unique as sometimes transient political bias, which is problematic for many business applications. Here are prompts I've had success with in reducing this bias. https://github.com/Shane-Burns-Dot-US/Unspun/blob/main/readm...

Automated red teaming for your LLM app

13 Jun 2024 Developer Tools

Hi HN,I built this open-source LLM red teaming tool based on my experience scaling LLMs at a big co to millions of users... and seeing all the bad things people did.How it works:- Uses an unaligned model to create toxic inputs- Runs these inputs through your app using different techniques: raw, prompt injection, and a chain-of-thought jailbreak that tries to re-frame the request to trick the LLM.- Probes a bunch of other failure cases (e.g. will your customer support bot recommend a competitor? Does it think it can process a refund when it can't? Will it leak your user's address?)- Built on top of promptfoo, a popular eval toolOne interesting thing about my approach is that almost none of the tests are hardcoded. They are all tailored toward the specific purpose of your application, which makes the attacks more potent.Some of these tests reflect fundamental, unsolved issues with LLMs. Other failures can be solved pretty trivially by prompting or safeguards.Most businesses will never ship LLMs without at least being able to quantify these types of risks. So I hope this helps someone out. Happy building!

Users recommend promptfoo for evaluations, highlighting its flexibility and ease of use. They also appreciate its dynamic prompts and providers for continuous LLM evaluation.

The product lacks dynamic prompts and providers, which limits its flexibility and adaptability to different user needs.
