One API key for hundreds of AI models from every major provider
Six hundred plus models for text, image, video, audio, transcription, embeddings, and reranking behind one OpenAI-compatible API.
Requests are rerouted to another provider on outages or rate limits by default, so you don't write custom retry logic.
The auto-router selects a model and provider per request using live marketplace performance and pricing data.
Track spend, tokens, and usage per model, provider, and team member in one place, including bring-your-own-key usage.

Pre-built AI API endpoints that return clean JSON
More than 30 endpoints span resume parsing, job matching, invoice extraction, translation, SEO tags, content summarization, sentiment and product description generation.
Test real endpoints in the browser on bundled sample documents and text, and see the same JSON your application would receive.
Turn any AI prompt into your own production REST API endpoint when the standard catalog does not cover a bespoke need.
Each subscription holds at least one credit that grants a monthly word quota; credits can be added or removed as volume changes.
