AI-Native

AI isn't an add-on. It's built in.

Unified AI gateway, prompt arena, persistent assistants, and vector search — all from the same dashboard.

Gateway

Unified AI API

One endpoint for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, Mistral, and DeepSeek. Switch models with a single parameter change.

BYOK Model

Bring Your Own API Keys. Use your existing provider accounts — zMesh just routes, tracks, and caches.

Dashboard

Prompt Arena

Compare models side-by-side in the dashboard. Test the same prompt across GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini instantly.

AI Assistants

Create persistent, context-aware assistants with custom system prompts. Perfect for customer support, coding help, or domain-specific bots.

RAG

Vector Search

pgvector integration built into the database layer. Store embeddings, run similarity searches, build RAG pipelines — no extra infra.

Token Tracking

Monitor usage per model, per user, per project. Set cost alerts and quotas. Know exactly where your AI budget goes.

Developer Tools

CLI + SDK. Your workflow.

Manage everything from the terminal — databases, functions, storage, deployments. Or use the SDK inside your edge functions for zero-config database access.
