Everything needed to operate
AI in production

Routing, observability, governance, and resilience for modern AI applications.

Route every request intelligently
Balance cost, latency, quality, and availability across AI providers automatically.
AI Routing →
Switch providers without code changes
Move between OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and other models through a unified API layer.
Provider Abstraction →
AI Routing & Model Selection
Route traffic dynamically based on cost, latency, quality, geography, or custom business rules.
Observability & Cost Intelligence
Understand where every request goes, how much it costs, and how models perform in production.
Track every token and dollar
Monitor usage, latency, model performance, and spend from a single dashboard.
Observability →
Set budgets before costs become problems
Create team budgets, spending alerts, and automated cost controls.
Cost Governance →
Avoid outages with automatic failover
When a provider slows down or becomes unavailable, traffic is rerouted automatically.
Reliability →

Cost Governance

Keep AI costs predictable and controlled

AI costs can spiral without structure. Explane gives every team a budget, every model a cap, and alerts before spending surprises anyone.

  • Set monthly budgets per team, application, or environment
  • Automatically route to cheaper models when a budget approaches its limit
  • Cost alerts via Slack, email, or webhook at thresholds you define
  • Detailed attribution — know exactly which feature or team drove spend

Security and compliance built in

Explane is designed for production from day one — with the security controls and audit capabilities enterprise teams require.

Compliance
SOC 2 Type II
Certified annually. Security, availability, and confidentiality controls independently audited and verified.
Security
Zero data retention
Request and response payloads are never stored. Stateless traffic with encrypted credential vaulting at rest.
Access
Role-based access control
Granular permissions per team, workspace, and API key. SSO via SAML 2.0 and OIDC out of the box.
Audit
Immutable audit logs
Every request, routing decision, and config change — logged and tamper-evident for compliance review.
Deployment
Private deployment
Deploy Explane inside your own VPC or on-premises for complete network isolation. Available on Enterprise plans.
Reliability
99.99% SLA
Backed by a contractual uptime guarantee. Multi-region active-active with automatic failover across providers.

Route. Monitor. Govern.
