One OpenAI-compatible endpoint in front of every model, MCP tool, and agent your apps call. aigw caps the spend, enforces the policy, and keeps a tamper-evident audit. EU-hosted, on your own provider keys.
New to this? See how it works, a plain-language walkthrough →
No card. Keep your own provider contracts. Point your OpenAI client at the gateway and go.
Per-key budgets, policy, approvals, and a tamper-evident audit of every call.
Cut token spend with caching that reuses identical and repeated work. No quality loss.
EU-hosted. Your keys, your data, your region. Governance and audit for the EU AI Act.
Route, secure, observe, and control every model, tool, and agent call from one place.
Govern not just models, but the tools (MCP) and agents (A2A) they call.
See who talks to who, across your whole agent estate.
Scoped virtual keys per agent or workload, each with its own policy.
A tamper-evident, hash-chained record of every action. Content logging is opt-in and redacted.
Per-key budgets plus a lossless savings engine that cuts spend without changing output.
EU-hosted, so prompts and data stay in region.
Automate it all as config with the management API, and keep your existing clients: the gateway is OpenAI-compatible.
Keep your own provider contracts and keys. Give every app and agent one endpoint, per-key budgets, and one audited view. Same SDK, same code.
Set base_url to your gateway and use a virtual key as the API key. Chat, streaming, and embeddings all work unchanged.
Add your OpenAI, Anthropic, or other provider keys once. Issue a virtual key per team, project, or agent, each with a monthly budget and an allow-list of models.
The console shows spend, p95 latency, cache-hit and error rates per model, plus a tamper-evident audit of every request.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://gateway.aigw.app/v1",
api_key="aigw_…", # a virtual key with a budget
)
# Same code, any provider - just change the model string.
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize Q3 in one line."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)Cap spend per team, project, or agent. Screen prompts, tool results, and agent responses for PII and secrets before they leave the gateway. Keep a tamper-evident record of every call, tool use, and delegation for compliance, without slowing anyone down.

You keep your own provider contracts and keys and pay providers directly for inference. aigw charges a flat platform fee for governance, cost savings, observability, and EU hosting.
Point your SDK at the gateway and ship. The docs cover the quickstart, virtual keys and budgets, providers and models, and governance.
Leave your email and we'll send a sovereignty + governance brief and an early-access invite.
No spam. One endpoint, per-key budgets, one audited view.

Yes. Point any OpenAI SDK at your gateway base URL with a virtual key. /v1/chat/completions (incl. streaming), /v1/embeddings, and /v1/models all work. Anthropic and OpenAI-shaped providers are translated for you.
Yes. Add your OpenAI, Anthropic, or other provider keys on the Providers page. The gateway calls each provider with your keys, so you keep your own contracts, rates, and billing. aigw sits in front and governs the calls. There is no token reselling and no pooled billing.
Every virtual key carries a monthly budget in cents and a model allow-list, enforced at the edge in real time. You get one view of AI spend across every team, key, and agent, broken down by model and provider.
aigw is EU-hosted, so prompts and data stay in region. Bring your own provider keys; they are sealed at rest, and the gateway can spend a key but agents never see your raw provider secrets. Dedicated in-region deployment is on the roadmap for Enterprise.
Redaction runs inside the gateway. On the model-output path it rewrites in a streaming-safe way: the provider and the audit log see placeholders, and your user sees the original text restored as the stream arrives. Tool and agent streams that cannot be scanned safely fail closed under redact or block, so nothing sensitive slips through.
