# Guardrail suggestions

> Use the settings the assistant suggests from an assessment as a starting point for an AI system's guardrails.

After an assessment is submitted, the assistant reads your answers, the risks that were found and the conversation, and suggests settings for the guardrails in scope. A suggestion is never applied for you: it goes into your draft, where you review, test and apply it.

Suggestions cover the risks the assessment found and the risks Altrum applies to every AI system. Risks you added yourself are yours to set up.

## Add the suggestions to your draft

Open the guardrail editor for the AI system. While the suggestions are being prepared, a banner says "Your assessment is being used to suggest guardrails." When they are ready:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Read the banner">
    The banner **Your assessment suggests settings for your guardrails** says what adding them does:

    * "Switches off, because your answers say it does not apply:" names guardrails the assistant thinks you do not need.
    * "Leaves for you to set up, the assessment did not give enough detail:" names guardrails you need to fill in yourself.
  </Step>

  <Step title="View them">
    **View suggestions** shows each suggested setting, read only.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add them">
    **Add them to my draft** replaces your working draft for the guardrails the suggestions cover. The message says "Suggestions are in your draft. Review them, then apply."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Finish the draft">
    Review every guardrail, set up those left for you, and **Save draft**. Then test, and apply or complete the assessment. Nothing is enforced until you do.
  </Step>
</Steps>

A guardrail the suggestions switched off still shows as **Needs your action** in the assessment results, so you confirm the decision yourself.

## If suggestions could not be prepared

The banner says "Suggestions could not be prepared from your assessment. You can still set guardrails up yourself." Choose **Try again**, or configure the guardrails by hand. See [Configure guardrails](/guardrails/configure).
