Why Router9

The Problem

Deploying AI agents to production means stitching together model providers, search APIs, storage buckets, and observability tools. Each piece has its own billing model, its own dashboard, and its own failure modes. The result is fragile infrastructure and unpredictable costs.

Common pain points:

• Per-token billing makes it impossible to budget for autonomous agents
• No isolation between agents sharing the same API key
• No built-in audit trail for compliance and debugging
• Multimodal capabilities (voice, vision, search) require separate SDKs and providers
• Storage and memory must be bolted on with external services

The Router9 Approach

Router9 is a subscription-based gateway built specifically for AI agents. One agent plan, one API key, one predictable monthly fee.

One Agent Plan = One Key = One Subscription

Each agent plan gets its own API key, its own rate limits, its own storage quota, and its own audit trail. Complete isolation means one agent plan cannot affect another.

Predictable Pricing

No per-token billing. No surprise costs. Each agent plan tier has a fixed monthly fee with clear rate limits. You know exactly what you will spend before you deploy.

All Skills, Every Tier

Every agent plan tier has access to every skill: speech recognition, text-to-speech, image understanding, image generation, web search, and persistent storage. Quotas scale with your tier, but nothing is locked behind a paywall.

Drop-in Compatible

Router9 exposes an OpenAI-compatible API. Change your base_url and API key -- that is it. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, any OpenAI SDK, and any framework that supports the OpenAI chat completions format.

# Before
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1

# After
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.router9.com/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-r9k-your-key-here

Built-in Multimodal Skills

No extra SDKs. Install the Router9 skill package and your agent gains ears (ASR), a voice (TTS), eyes (vision), creativity (image generation), real-time knowledge (web search), and memory (persistent storage).

Deep Audit Tracking

Every request is logged with model, tokens, latency, cost, and status. Export CSV for compliance. Filter by agent plan, time range, or status. Retention scales with your tier.

Fleet Management

Monitor all your agent plans from a single dashboard. Per-agent-plan usage bars, alerts at 80% and 95% capacity, and a fleet-wide summary view.

Who is Router9 For?

• Solo developers who want to deploy an AI agent without managing infrastructure
• Teams who need to monitor and audit multiple agents in production
• Enterprises who require strict data isolation, predictable costs, and compliance-grade audit trails

Get Started

Create your first agent plan in under a minute:

1. Sign up for a free account
2. Create an agent plan from the dashboard
3. Copy your API key and set it as OPENAI_API_KEY
4. Point your agent at https://api.router9.com/v1

That is it. Your agent now routes through Router9.
