Developer Experience First
Every feature starts with "how does this feel in the editor?" If it adds friction, we don't ship it.
About CWAI
Building the AI Gateway Developers Deserve
We're developers who got tired of wrestling with AI integrations. So we built the tool we wanted to use.
Our Mission
Start Building Free
One Key. Every Model. Zero Chaos.
In 2023, our team was building AI features for a SaaS product. We juggled OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google APIs — each with different auth, rate limits, billing, and SDKs. One provider went down, and our entire AI feature chain broke.
We asked: Why isn't there a single gateway that handles all of this?
CWAI is the answer. A unified license key that routes to any model, enforces your budgets, logs everything, and stays out of your way. No vendor lock-in. No surprise bills. Just code.
