One universal API for 500+ AI models and 1,000+ agentic tools
Call chat, code, image, video, audio, music, embedding, OCR and 3D models from 70+ providers through one API key and one SDK.
Point existing OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini SDK code at AI/ML API and swap models by changing the model string rather than the integration.
An automatic router grades task difficulty and sends easy work to cheap models while escalating hard work to stronger ones.
Give agents live access to Google search, YouTube transcripts, X/Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn jobs and SEO/marketing data sources.
The universal context engine connecting agents to data, tools, and models
One normalized API connects your product to hundreds of HRIS, payroll, ATS, CRM, accounting, ticketing, and file storage systems with read and write access.
Give agents secure, authenticated access to thousands of pre-built tools across third-party services, with scoped permissions and audit logs.
Route every model through one API with automatic failover, pre-built or custom routing rules, and spend and performance controls.
Distribute approved MCP connectors, models, and skills to employee AI tools with per-team budgets, DLP scanning, and audit logging.
