Smart routing

You're overpaying for

Zero data retention
Enterprise tier processes requests then permanently discards content. Only metadata retained.
Encrypted in transit
TLS 1.2+ on every connection. Your requests never travel unprotected.
Session spending limits
Soft and hard cost caps per session. Runaway agents get stopped automatically.
