Agents built and evaluated with real-time tracing.
Who is Orq.ai best for?
Orq.ai is best for engineering teams that send traffic to many AI models and need cost caps, tracing and governance in one place.
Teams using many model providers
One OpenAI-compatible API reaches 500+ models from 30+ providers, with fallbacks, retries and caching handled at the gateway.
Keeping AI spend under control
Budgets and hard caps per workspace, project, user or API key stop spending before the bill arrives, and every request's cost is tracked.
European companies with data rules
It is built and hosted in the EU, can restrict routing to providers that store nothing, and offers VPC or on-premises installs on Enterprise.
Building and testing agents
Managed agents, evaluators, datasets and live traces sit on the same platform as the gateway, so one tool covers build, test and monitoring.
