AI Gateway

AI Gateway: Every AI Call Your Business Makes, Logged and Capped

Most businesses have no idea what their AI tools cost until the invoice lands, or what was sent to them at all. A gateway in front of every provider fixes both.

With Cascadia you get

  • Runs in your own Cloudflare account
  • Every AI call logged
  • Costs you can see
  • Caps that hold
  • Fallbacks with a second provider
  • Monthly usage reporting

Why Teams Start Here

Nothing Installed on Your Machines

The only change is the endpoint your applications call. There is no agent to install and no code to rewrite.

Costs You Can See

Caching stops you paying twice for the same answer, spend caps stop a runaway script costing hundreds overnight, and the log tells you which application is responsible.

Caps That Hold

Spend caps are enforced by Cloudflare at the gateway itself: one for the whole gateway and one for each application you name. A call over a cap is refused until its 30 days start again, and you see in your workspace when one is close.

What you get

Everything AI Gateway Covers

All of these come with AI Gateway, set up and looked after by our team.

Logging

  • Every request through the gateway, logged
  • The prompt, the reply, and the model recorded

  • Caching, so the same answer is not paid for twice
  • Spend caps for the gateway and for each application, enforced by Cloudflare

  • No code change when a provider changes

Reporting

Calling Providers Directly, and Putting a Gateway in Front

Nothing stops you calling each provider directly, and plenty of businesses do. The difference shows up afterward: in what you can see, and in what happens when a script runs away or a provider goes down.

Who AI Gateway Fits Best

Teams Whose AI Bill Is a Surprise

You find out what the month cost when the invoice arrives, and never find out what was sent. Every request is logged as it happens, so the number stops being a surprise.

Get Started

Applications Calling More Than One Provider

One endpoint sits in front of all of them. Give the gateway a second provider’s key and it falls back to that provider, with retries handled for you, so an outage at one does not take your application down with it.

Get Started

Agencies Running AI Work for Clients

You can sell AI cost control without building it. Each client’s gateway runs in that client’s own Cloudflare account, we set it up and watch it, and you get a monthly report broken down by application.

How It Works

1. We Put the Gateway in Front

Your Cloudflare account is shared with us the same way as DNS, as a member with the roles we need and no password or API token. We put the gateway there, in front of the providers your applications already use.

Get Started

2. We Set the Caps and Watch It

Your applications are pointed at the gateway instead of the provider, which is an endpoint change and nothing more. Caching, rate limits, and spend caps are set with you before anything is switched on.

Get Started

3. You Get the Picture Every Month

Each month you get a plain report: what was spent, by which application, what changed, and anything unusual worth knowing about.

Still have a question?

What is an AI gateway?

A gateway sits between your applications and the providers they call, so every request can be logged, cached, capped, and retried without changing the applications themselves.

How is this different from reading each provider’s dashboard?

A provider dashboard shows you its own traffic and nothing else. The gateway sits in front of all of them, so the prompt, the reply, the model, and the cost land in one place, with the application that made the call named.

Is this just Cloudflare’s AI Gateway?

Yes. The gateway is Cloudflare’s, and it runs in your own Cloudflare account, where its core features are free. What you are paying for is it being set up properly, watched, and reported on rather than left as a dashboard nobody opens.

Do my applications need code changes?

Your applications point at your gateway’s address instead of the provider directly, and name themselves in one header so spend shows per application. Your provider keys stay yours, and you can point them back at any time.

How long before I see results?

Setup starts within two business days, and the first full picture arrives within a week.

Can I see what was actually sent, and what it cost?

Yes. Every call is logged in your own Cloudflare account, and 90 days of prompts and replies are kept in your own R2 storage, locked with a key only you hold. Your workspace shows the calls and the cost by application, and the monthly report sums them up.

What is in the monthly report?

What was spent, broken down by application, what changed since last month, and anything unusual worth knowing about. Ninety days of history sits behind it.

Where does my data go?

Prompts and responses pass through Cloudflare’s network in your own Cloudflare account, and stay there. We walk you through exactly what that means and you confirm it before anything is switched on; if it is not acceptable, we say so rather than sell it to you anyway. The logs are yours, in your account.

What happens if a provider goes down?

With a second provider’s key given to the gateway, it falls back to that provider and handles the retries, so an outage at one of them does not stop your application. With one provider only, there is nothing to fall back to, and we tell you so at setup.

What do you need from me to get started?

Your Cloudflare account shared with us as a member with the roles our setup names (the same way as DNS, never a password or an API token), the list of providers your applications use, and someone who can change an endpoint. If you have no Cloudflare account yet, the Free plan is enough.

What happens when spending spikes?

Spend caps you set are enforced by Cloudflare at the gateway, one for the gateway and one for each application, and a call over a cap is refused until its 30 days start again. You see in your workspace when a cap is close, and caching stops the same answer being paid for twice.

Is anything installed on our machines?

No. Nothing is installed on anyone’s machine, and the only change at your end is the endpoint your applications call.

Whose keys and whose logs are they?

Yours, both. Your providers stay your providers, your keys stay in your applications, and the logs stay in your own Cloudflare account and storage, locked with your key. You can point your applications back at the providers whenever you want.

Do I need managed WordPress hosting or maintenance to buy this?

No. It runs as a standalone monthly service alongside whatever else you use. It is also part of AI Pro, if you would rather have the AI services on one invoice.
