Overview
Mend AI is a collection of products that secures AI usage throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC). By integrating into every stage of AI-powered application development - code, model registry, CI/CD and dependency scanning - Mend AI provides comprehensive visibility into AI usage, enabling the detection and mitigation of associated risks and helping you deal with this new category of risks, introduced by Large Language Models (LLMs), chatbots, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and autonomous agents.
Mend.io’s approach is to provide visibility, detection and mitigation for AI technologies, models and AI applications as early as possible during the SDLC. We do it by leveraging existing integrations that provide insight into your SBOM, code, and file system, and indexing all the open-source models in public repositories.
For more information about the indexing aspect, visit the Mend Models Repository Awareness page.

To get a complete picture, all the findings are processed by a unified engine and are displayed in the Mend Platform.
