Better answers, real privacy, and up to 80% lower AI bills — from one assistant that automatically uses the right model for every task and checks its own work before you see it.
Every message runs the same five steps automatically — read it, judge how hard it is, pick the cheapest capable model, check the answer, then deliver it. Watch it loop:
Illustrative of Routel’s routing flow. Difficulty labels and model choices are examples; hard tasks are routed to a top model so quality holds where it matters.
Most AI cost comes from sending every request to a premium model — even the easy ones. Routel sends each task to the cheapest model that can still do it well. Move the slider to estimate your savings.
Instead of paying premium prices for everything, Routel reads each request, judges how hard it is, and routes it to the cheapest model that can handle it. Tap an example:
For real, multi-step tasks, Routel doesn't just answer — it checks its own work. A separate model has to approve the result before you see it. If something's off, it fixes it and re-checks. You stop paying for broken attempts.
No jargon — here's what it does for you.
Routine work goes to inexpensive models; only genuinely hard tasks use a top model. You see the cost on every reply.
A separate model reviews the work and repairs mistakes, so you get fewer wrong answers on important tasks.
Your preferences and notes live in a file you can read, edit, and export anytime. Take your context with you.
It runs on your own AI account, strips out personal info before any cloud call, and never trains on your data.
Set a hard monthly limit. You get an alert before you hit it. No usage-billing roulette.
Use it in your browser, or install it on your phone and desktop like an app. No app store needed.
Ask about today's news, current prices, or anything recent — Routel runs a live web search and grounds the answer with sources, billed at cost on your own key.
Most AI tools lock you into a single model at a single price. Routel automatically uses the best model for each task — so you get better answers and a lower bill.
| What you want | A single-model app | Routel |
|---|---|---|
| Use the cheapest capable model per task | One fixed model | Automatic |
| Reach many models in one place | Usually one provider | Many, one login |
| Self-verify answers on hard tasks | Rarely | Built in |
| Hard monthly spend cap | Not typical | You set it |
| Run on your own key / own your data | Varies | Bring-your-own-key |
Privacy isn't a setting here — it's how it's built.
Encrypted and used only for your requests. We never pool one key across users.
Emails, phone numbers, keys, card and SSN patterns are removed before any cloud call — on by default.
We don't use your prompts or outputs to train models.
Every request records which model and provider handled it.
A hard monthly cap with an early alert. A surprise bill is structurally impossible.
Export your memory anytime as a plain file. Yours to keep or take elsewhere.
A small flat fee for the assistant. AI usage runs at cost on your own key — we don't mark up tokens.
Launch pricing. You always see AI usage cost at cost; the flat fee covers the routing, verification, memory, and privacy layer.
Easy tasks (summaries, formatting, simple Q&A) go to inexpensive models that cost a fraction of a cent; hard reasoning is sent to a top model. On a typical mix that's roughly up to 80% lower AI usage cost than running everything on a premium model — and you see the cost live, per message. Savings apply to pay-per-use AI, not flat subscriptions.
Through one key you reach many models — DeepSeek, Llama, GPT, Claude, Gemini and more. Routel routes each task to the cheapest one that can handle it.
Your requests run on your own AI account. Personal info is stripped before any cloud call, nothing is used to train models, and your memory is exportable. See the Security section above.
For multi-step tasks, a separate model verifies the result and repairs mistakes before delivery. It reduces errors — but no AI is perfect, so always review important outputs. AI output carries no warranty.
Yes — open routel.ai on your phone and tap "Install app" (or Add to Home Screen). No app store needed.
Connect your key, set a cap, and let Routel pick the right model for every task.
