Four ways in — Studio, Agent Desk, API, MCP. One gateway in the middle. Every model, tool, connector, MCP server, skill, plugin, and agent on the other side — discoverable, routable, manageable.
Every audience meets the platform on its own terms — but all traffic flows through the same One API, so auth, billing, observability, and governance are identical no matter where a request starts.
The visual builder. Compose agents and workflows by wiring models, tools, and connectors together — no code required.
The operations workspace. Monitor, steer, and approve running agents — a human-in-the-loop console for everything in production.
The developer path. One REST/SDK endpoint that speaks every plane — drop-in compatible, from prototype to production.
The protocol-native path. The entire platform exposed as a single MCP server — any MCP client gets all planes instantly.
Every AI product today stitches together fragmented layers — each with its own vendors, keys, billing, and dashboards. Nobody manages them in one place.
The same pattern OpenRouter proved for models — applied to the entire AI supply chain. We don't build any of it. We route, meter, and manage all of it.
Every LLM — frontier, open-source, fine-tuned — routed on cost, latency, and quality. Automatic failover and load balancing across providers.
Every tool and function endpoint — search, code execution, browsers — routed on capability and rating. One schema, every tool.
500+ SaaS integrations from any provider — Composio, Merge, Nango, or native APIs. Neutral aggregation: we don't own the workflow, we expose the integration.
Every MCP server — official, community, enterprise-internal — behind one endpoint that handles auth, selection, and versioning. The protocol where tools and connectors converge.
Reusable expertise as endpoints: instruction packs and playbooks — versioned, rated, and loaded by any agent on demand. Tens of thousands exist today, scattered across GitHub directories.
Installable capability bundles — skills, commands, connectors, and MCP servers packaged as one versioned unit — one-click install into any agent or workflow.
Autonomous agents addressable as endpoints. Agent-to-agent (A2A) traffic with a trust layer, metering, and a marketplace — a plane nobody has claimed yet.
Orchestrated multi-agent workflows: sequences, hand-offs, and human checkpoints — composed in Studio, operated from Agent Desk, invoked like any other endpoint.
The registry across all planes: search, ranking, trust scores, and versioning for every model, tool, connector, MCP server, skill, plugin, agent, and flow. Agents don't just call what they're configured with — they find what they need at runtime.
One key, one bill, one dashboard — the durable value of being the single pane of glass for all AI traffic, no matter which entry point it came through.
One credential replaces fifty. OAuth, keys, and scopes managed centrally.
One invoice across model tokens, tool calls, connector usage, and agent invocations.
End-to-end traces spanning the model call and every tool, connector, and agent call it triggered.
Policy on which teams use which models, tools, and data. Audit trails and compliance built in.
Failover, load balancing, and caching at every plane — not just the model layer.

Model providers, tool builders, connector providers, MCP authors, skill & plugin creators, and agent & flow developers list into the discovery registry — monetized per token, per call, or per seat. We are their distribution channel.
Builders arrive through Studio, operators through Agent Desk, developers through API, and protocol clients through MCP — all consuming the same catalog through one gateway.
Every model. Every tool. Every connector. Every MCP server. Every skill. Every plugin. Every agent. Every flow.
Studio · Agent Desk · API · MCP — in front
One key · One bill · One gateway · One marketplace · One control plane — behind
We don't build models, connectors, or agents. We are the routing fabric that makes all of them discoverable, interchangeable, and manageable — through one API.
