## Choose when

### Choose ps-fuzz if…

- ps-fuzz is primarily Python; frai is JavaScript.
- Tags unique to ps-fuzz: ai-fuzzer, fuzzer, generative-ai, llm-fuzzer.
- When you need to methodically test system prompts in generative AI applications for potential security flaws.

### Choose frai if…

- frai is primarily JavaScript; ps-fuzz is Python.
- Tags unique to frai: ai-compliance, audit, bias, evaluation.
- Use when you need to comply with specific safety standards in AI projects using JavaScript framework.

## When NOT to use ps-fuzz

- If your project does not involve generative AI applications or does not require prompt testing for security reasons.
- For tasks unrelated to the hardening and evaluation of system prompts, as ps-fuzz is specifically designed for this purpose.

## When NOT to use frai

- Avoid if your development environment strictly requires non-JavaScript languages for tool integration.
- Not advisable if automated governance and scanning tools are not aligned with organizational compliance policies.
