In today’s AI landscape, organizations face the challenge of managing multiple AI providers, each with their own APIs, authentication methods, and response formats. This complexity can slow down development, increase costs, and make it difficult to optimize AI operations. Smart routing and a universal API solution are essential for efficiently managing these challenges.

​
What is Smart Routing?

Smart routing is an intelligent system that automatically directs your AI requests to the optimal model based on your specific needs. Picept’s smart routing capabilities help you:

  • Optimize across quality, cost, speed, and latency automatically
  • Route requests to the best model from 15+ supported providers
  • Handle failover and load balancing seamlessly
  • Scale your AI operations efficiently
