AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge

Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the three stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One fixed provider set and approved model list; final routing, billing and retention decisions remain with the buyer's engineers. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.

What your team sees

Primary screens: Provider and key registry, Routing and fallback rules, Usage and billing console. Use a project list for gateways, a central configuration canvas for routes and fallbacks, and a right-hand panel for model metadata, limits and comments. Let users compare model outputs side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a client preview link with comments anchored to the relevant route. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed gateway configuration with consolidated usage and spend reporting visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.

Accounts and administration

Project ownership, credential versions, client comments, approval states, usage allowances, rate limits, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.

Integrations and data access

Buyer-owned provider accounts, authorized usage exports and permitted billing systems. Cloud secret storage, CI/CD pipelines and observability destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.

We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP

An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.

1. Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will product and platform teams shipping AI features who currently stitch together several model providers use it to solve "separate provider integrations, keys, dashboards and billing make model routing, spend and end-user billing hard to control"?
2. Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
3. Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Requests served per integration hour and share of spend reconciled to provider invoices.
4. Measure, then decide. Track requests served per integration hour and share of spend reconciled to provider invoices; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.

MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One fixed provider set and approved model list; final routing, billing and retention decisions remain with the buyer's engineers. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: register provider credentials and endpoints; expose one API key and endpoint for many models. Support the third module with operator review: accept OpenAI-compatible requests with minimal code changes. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.

After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around reviewed gateway configuration with consolidated usage and spend reporting. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One fixed provider set and approved model list; final routing, billing and retention decisions remain with the buyer's engineers.

What the build depends on. Credential upload and preview, asynchronous routing jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity production requires specialist engineering QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One fixed provider set and approved model list; final routing, billing and retention decisions remain with the buyer's engineers.

A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.

Running costs per month

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook

Pricing to test

Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined gateway package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex multi-tenant or regulated deployments separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewed gateway configuration with consolidated usage and spend reporting. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.

Message to test

Reduce integration and operations work while keeping one owned gateway for model access. Demonstrate a concrete reviewed gateway configuration with consolidated usage and spend reporting using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.

Where to find buyers

Product and platform teams shipping AI features professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.

Lead magnet

A reviewed sample reviewed gateway configuration with consolidated usage and spend reporting from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of requests served per integration hour and share of spend reconciled to provider invoices and no promised savings.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: interview five product and platform teams shipping AI features who currently stitch together several model providers and inspect a recent example of separate provider integrations, keys, dashboards and billing make model routing, spend and end-user billing hard to control.
2. Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
3. Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
4. Week 4: measure requests served per integration hour and share of spend reconciled to provider invoices, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.

Paid pilot

Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Requests served per integration hour and share of spend reconciled to provider invoices. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.

Success metrics

Requests served per integration hour and share of spend reconciled to provider invoices; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.

Retention and expansion

Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs reviewed gateway configuration with consolidated usage and spend reporting. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.

Why clients would pick it

A reusable library of approved routes, provider constraints and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow technical niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for product and platform teams shipping AI features who currently stitch together several model providers. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.

Alternatives and positioning

Hopscotch AI, Ghostrun, AI/ML API, Humaan.ai, Poe API, Oxlo.ai, Genstack, Aiswers.com, Sudo AI and Featherless AI. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on requests served per integration hour and share of spend reconciled to provider invoices. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.

Main delivery costs

Provider API calls, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source assets. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of reviewed gateway configuration with consolidated usage and spend reporting. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.

Preserve provider terms, credential security, usage attribution and data retention rules. Buyers approve routing changes and billing scope. One fixed provider set and approved model list; final routing, billing and retention decisions remain with the buyer's engineers. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
