TD Intelligence

The AI Gateway for every AI model

One AI gateway between your products and the world of AI. Connect to many language models through a single API — and control routing, fallbacks, keys, budgets and costs in one place.

How the AI gateway works

Every AI request, in four steps

Your app sends one request. The AI gateway does the rest.

01

Authenticate

Checks the app's key, team and budget before anything reaches a model.

02

Route

Picks the best AI model by your rules: price, speed, quality or region.

03

Call & protect

Calls the model with retries, caching and automatic fallback if it fails.

04

Log & measure

Records tokens, latency and cost, so every AI feature is measurable.

One API · Any model

Switch AI models without touching your code

One OpenAI-compatible endpoint. When a provider goes down, the AI gateway moves traffic to a backup model on its own.

example request
# one endpoint for every AI model
POST /v1/chat/completions
{ "model": "auto",
  "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hi" }] }
# AI gateway
route  → claude   rule: quality
status → timeout  retry → fallback
route  → gpt      200 OK
log    → tokens, latency, cost ✓

AI cost control

Know what every AI feature costs

Spend by model, project, team and user. Set budgets and limits per key, and get alerts before a bill surprises you.

AI gateway features

Everything between your product and the AI model

The layer every AI product ends up building — done once, done properly.

⇄

One API for many AI models

A single, OpenAI-compatible interface. Switch or mix AI providers without rewriting your code.

↻

Routing & fallbacks

Send each request to the right model, balance the load and fall back automatically when a provider fails.

⚿

Keys, teams & budgets

Separate keys per app, team or customer, with spending caps and rate limits — provider keys stay private.

$

Cost & usage analytics

See tokens and spend by model, project and user, and know what every AI feature really costs.

≣

Logs & observability

A searchable history of AI requests, latency and errors to debug and improve your features.

⚡

Caching & guardrails

Reuse repeated answers to save money and time, and apply content and access rules in one place.

Who it's for

Built for teams shipping AI features

Product teams

Add AI to apps and websites without locking into one AI provider.

Studios & agencies

Run many client AI projects with separate keys, budgets and reports.

Internal tools & AI agents

Give every tool and AI agent controlled, measurable access to models.

FAQ

AI gateway, explained

What is an AI gateway?

An AI gateway is a layer between your product and AI models. Your apps send every request to one API, and the gateway chooses the model, handles keys, limits, retries and fallbacks, and records usage and cost.

Why not call AI providers directly?

Direct calls tie your code to one provider and scatter keys, limits and costs across projects. An AI gateway keeps them in one place and lets you change models without changing the app.
