# Aigap AI Router

> Aigap AI Router is a multi-model LLM routing platform. Call one OpenAI-compatible API; Aigap routes each request to the best provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, xAI) by cost, speed and quality, with failover, guardrails, live provider health and prepaid USD credits.

## Key concepts
- Smart routing: score models on cost/speed/quality per request against a policy.
- Autopilot: continuously re-optimize routing toward a goal (min cost, cap latency, quality floor, keep sensitive data local).
- Failover: automatic retry to the next-healthiest provider on slowness or error.
- Guardrails: PII redaction, profanity filtering, outbound-data protection, local models for data residency.
- Credits: prepaid USD wallet; per-request token cost + transparent margin; unused credit rolls over.
