Students begin by selecting from a set of areas of the world they care about, problems they&#8217;re drawn to, and domains where they feel some intuition or passion.\u00a0<br><br>From those selections, the LLM we built dynamically generates a set of relevant business problems and potential solution directions. The LLM also generated a one-liner concept summary, representing the end of the user flow, that the student carries forward into the next stage.<br><br>The key design principle here was restraint. The AI surfaces possibilities; the student makes choices. Nothing is decided for them.

During testing, however, we found it too blunt for this context: some inappropriate content passed through, while some legitimate inputs were incorrectly blocked.<br><br>To solve this, our team created a multilayer content-filtering system that performs sequential checks on every user input:<br><\/p>\n<ul\n\tclass=\"list text-sans-24 block-list__list\"\n\t>\n\t<li><strong>Layer 1: The Block List. <\/strong>A simple, non-AI list of client-defined &#8220;no-go&#8221; words, including key competitors for the brand, designed to prevent the LLM from engaging in certain topics that would harm our client\u2019s brand.<\/li><li><strong>Layer 2: Azure Content Safety. <\/strong>We incorporated Azure into the system as an additional precaution, adjusting its sensitivity to a level that was neither impenetrable nor ineffective.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Layer 3: Custom LLM Classifier. <\/strong>This is the core &#8220;magic&#8221; of the system: two tiers of LLM-based evaluation that we created by drawing on several open, highly regarded AI content safety datasets in our industry.

Daily submission volumes climbed consistently week-over-week, peaking at over 1,600 submissions in a single day. Out of a total of over 160,000 submissions, we\u2019ve received zero reports of content safety violations.<br><br>In fact, the success of this project\u2019s AI guardrails led us to incorporate the multilayer content filtering system we created as a new safety standard for all future work with B2C AI-enabled experiences.\u00a0<br><br>Above all, we remain proudest of the impact on both the incubator\u2019s users and our client.\u00a0<br><br>By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/en-uki\/solutions\/ai-transformation\/\">integrating AI into the experience<\/a>, we helped ensure that no one left the incubator empty-handed. Whether or not their idea is selected for funding, each student who uses the platform can further develop their idea and take home resources to bring it a step closer to reality.<br><br>For our client, the renewed experience represents a bold, creative use of AI that demonstrates their belief that all people need only a little push to accomplish even the most brazen, seemingly impossible feats.
