AI ROUTER is a ChatGPT API relay with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. It is built for developers who want to create an API key, call ChatGPT-style models from existing code, and track usage, quota, balance, and subscription status in one dashboard.
Website: https://ai-router.dev
A ChatGPT API relay sits between your application and model providers. Your app sends an OpenAI-style request to the relay endpoint. The relay handles the API key, quota, usage accounting, and service-side routing details shown in the product dashboard.
For developers, the practical goal is simple: keep the request format familiar and reduce the amount of setup needed to start testing.
