Set up your Guardrail in your AWS account, then link it to your Contact Center to ensure Smart Tools avoid certain topics or words. This setup helps maintain content relevance and compliance by filtering out unwanted suggestions during customer interactions.</p>

<p class="p">To use Amazon Guardrails in Contact Center, you must be using Amazon Bedrock to power
your Smart Tools. Before linking your Amazon Bedrock Guardrail to Contact Center,
you need to configure it within your AWS account. See <a class="xref" href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/guardrails-create.html" target="_blank">What is Amazon Bedrock</a> in the AWS
documentation to setup your Amazon Bedrock Guardrail.</p>
<p class="p" dir="ltr">Once you have setup your Guardrail, you can link it to Contact Center so
that when Smart Tools process content, the Guardrail is applied.</p>
