Design Partner Inquiry: Prompt Injection Hardening for Agent Fleets

[aeris-systems]

Hi Dust team 👋

I've been following your engineering work (especially the System Prompt Learning post) and the scale you've achieved — 80,000 agents and 12M conversations. Impressive.

I'm Alex Chen (ex-VP Engineering at Cloudflare, 18 years in security). I'm building Aeris PromptShield — open-source prompt injection detection focused on:

• Multi-language attacks and obfuscation patterns (base64, unicode, leetspeak)
• Layered detection (regex + ML + semantic analysis)
• Audit-friendly outputs for compliance (useful alongside SOC 2 / HIPAA requirements)

The question I hear from enterprise buyers is consistent: "How do you protect agents against prompt injection from web content, tool outputs, and retrieved documents?"

PromptShield gives platforms like Dust a concrete answer — especially for agentic browsing and tool-output injection scenarios.

Would you be interested in a design partner collaboration? Looking for 1-2 teams using high-risk connectors where we can validate the integration and share learnings.

Happy to jump on a call or continue async here.
