Tools and ecosystem

Everything Xallarap and the AFK ecosystem has made publicly available. Free tools, open frameworks, and research you can use before, during, or after an engagement.

Primary tool

Alt-TAB

Free pre-deployment AI ethics assessment

Alt-TAB screens any technology decision against 35 international governance frameworks simultaneously. Every assessment includes mandatory screening for technology-facilitated gender-based violence, child safety, and cybersecurity, regardless of the technology type. It is the practical expression of the Parallax methodology, made freely available in the public interest.

Built on a decade of frontline advocacy and international governance work. Used by organisations across government, health, education, and civil society.

Need a guided assessment?

Alt-TAB gives you the screening. Xallarap gives you the interpretation, the context, and the path forward. If your situation is complex enough that a tool alone is not sufficient, that is what an engagement is for.
