Power Your AI Without Breaking the Bank
AIOrouter is our self-owned AI API proxy. Multi-model smart routing, Canadian-hosted, dramatically lower costs — now live and powering AIOCANA websites.
What is AIOrouter?
AIOrouter is a self-owned AI API routing layer that sits between your application and multiple AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, DeepSeek). Instead of calling each provider's API directly — and paying retail prices — your application calls one AIOrouter endpoint. AIOrouter handles model selection, cost optimization, caching, and failover automatically.
For AIOCANA customers, this means every AI feature — from AIBOT Q&A to content translation to admin chat — runs through our optimized routing layer, keeping AI costs predictable and low. You get the same quality AI experiences without the surprise API bills.
Key Features
70-90% Cost Reduction
Route AI calls through our self-owned proxy instead of paying retail API prices. Bulk pricing, intelligent caching, and model-optimized routing save you money on every request.
Multi-Model Smart Routing
Automatically selects the best model for each task — GPT-5.5 for reasoning, Claude Opus for review, lightweight models for classification. No manual model selection.
Canadian Data Residency
All AI API calls pass through our Montreal (northamerica-northeast1) infrastructure. No data leaves Canadian jurisdiction. PIPEDA and Law 25 compliant.
Zero Vendor Lock-In
Switch between AI providers without changing a single line of code. We abstract the provider layer — you just call one endpoint.
Usage Analytics & Cost Tracking
Real-time dashboard showing per-model usage, cost breakdown, token consumption, and optimization recommendations.
Enterprise Security
API key rotation, rate limiting, request logging, WAF protection, and audit trails. Built for production workloads.
Cost Comparison (per 1M tokens)
| Provider | Approx. Cost | Savings vs Direct |
|---|---|---|
| Direct GPT-5 API | $15.00 | — |
| Direct Claude API | $15.00 | — |
| Typical 3rd-Party Proxy | $12.00 | Save 20% |
| AIOrouter (Self-Owned) | $3.00–$6.00 | Save 60-80% |
Prices are approximate and based on public API pricing as of May 2026. AIOrouter costs reflect our self-owned infrastructure amortized across customers. Actual savings depend on usage patterns and model mix.
How It Works
Your App
Website, AIBOT, or any app sends an AI request to AIOrouter.
Smart Router
AIOrouter analyzes the request and selects the optimal model.
Optimize
Request is cached if repeated, batched if possible, routed to cheapest provider.
Return
Response delivered with usage metrics logged for analytics.
