Value proposition
To provide a unified and secure API that simplifies access to multiple LLMs, enhances security, and reduces operational costs for developers.
Products and solutions
Requesty AI Gateway: OpenAI-compatible unified API for 600+ models across 30+ providers, Smart routing, failover, load balancing, and prompt caching, Enterprise governance: RBAC, budgets, approved-model allowlists, PII/guardrails, SSO, EU data-residency endpoint (Frankfurt) and observability/cost analytics
Unique value
Requesty's uniqueness lies in its position as a single, secure gateway to a variety of LLM providers. This approach simplifies the development process, as developers do not need to integrate with multiple, disparate APIs. Additionally, its focus on both security and cost-efficiency in a single platform is a key differentiator.
Target customer

Technology advantage
The primary technological advantage is the platform's ability to tighten security and reduce costs when accessing LLMs. This is likely achieved through a combination of request optimization, caching, and robust security protocols. The business advantage is the simplification of the development and procurement process for companies that want to use multiple LLMs without the overhead of managing multiple integrations and security concerns.
