Control
AI Gateway
Keep model choice flexible while governing what data and tools can be used.
- Model routing
- Tool allowlists
- Spend and latency controls
What gets in the way
- Teams call models and tools directly with inconsistent policy and logging.
- Provider changes create application rewrites and fragmented cost controls.
- Sensitive prompts, tool permissions, and failure behavior are hard to audit.
What this is designed to produce
- One governed entry point for approved models and tools.
- Policy-aware routing by task, risk, latency, quality, and cost.
- Consistent telemetry, budgets, redaction, and fallback behavior.

Questions that come up first
How does AI Gateway connect to our existing systems?
We map approved sources and actions through their supported APIs or controlled custom interfaces. A migration is not assumed; identity, permission, and transaction boundaries stay explicit.
Can we use our preferred model or cloud provider?
Yes. The architecture separates business context, evaluation, and tool policy from any single model. Provider choices remain subject to your security, residency, quality, and cost requirements.
Where does human approval remain?
Approval is designed around risk. External, sensitive, irreversible, low-confidence, or policy-exception actions stop for an accountable person before execution.
What is the first production milestone?
A bounded workflow with agreed inputs, controls, failure handling, evaluation criteria, and an owner. The target is dependable learning, not an inflated automation claim.
