Their Growth Story

Founded in 2023, the company sits between agents, applications and the model ecosystem, standardizing access to leading providers through one unified interface.

Organizations can enforce controls like per-request data handling policies, team-level access and routing permissions, spend visibility, and audit-friendly usage reporting. Intelligent routing improves cost and performance while automated failover increases reliability, and multi-provider interoperability reduces lock-in and vendor risk.
