The cost play

Cheaper than calling the engines yourself.

On every cache hit we split the saving with you — you pay half, keep half. On a miss you just pay the engine. You're never worse off than going direct, and it only improves as the pooled cache grows.

Platform

Everything between your agent and the open web.

Routing, caching, and governance in one control plane — so you stop wiring up six engines by hand.

Price-led routing

Each query goes to the cheapest engine that clears your quality and latency floors. Policies per query class.

Three-tier cache

Private exact, cross-tenant pooled, and semantic caching cut your engine bill — hits are billed $0 to providers.

Automatic failover

When an engine degrades or breaches a floor, GroundRoute falls back to the next in order — no code changes.

Unified observability

Volume, latency, error rates, and spend per engine and query class — one dashboard, one source of truth.

Bring your own keys

Use your own provider keys — validated on save, encrypted at rest, never re-displayed. Or let us manage them.

Guardrails & audit

Spend caps, rate limits, and a redacted audit log — query text is never stored, only a query_hash.

Get started

From signup to first routed query in minutes.

OpenAI-style HTTP — no SDK lock-in. Point your existing search call at GroundRoute and you're done.
