How every request flows through Routel

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.

See what you could save

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.

Hard reasoning gets whatever's left: 20% (always routed to a top model).

Estimate only. Assumes usage-based (pay-per-use) AI pricing and a typical task mix; your actual savings depend on your workload and which models you use. This does not reduce flat monthly subscriptions. Based on public list prices (mid-2026): premium model ≈ $3 / $15 per 1M tokens; cheaper open models from ≈ $0.14 / $0.28.

Watch Routel pick the right model

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:

Illustrative example using Routel's routing logic and public list prices (mid-2026), for a typical ~1,000-token request. Exact models and prices are configurable, and hard tasks are deliberately sent to a top model — so quality holds where it matters.

Every answer gets double-checked

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.

What you actually get

No jargon — here's what it does for you.

💸 Always uses the cheapest AI that can still do the job

Routine work goes to inexpensive models; only genuinely hard tasks use a top model. You see the cost on every reply.

Double-checks answers before you trust them

A separate model reviews the work and repairs mistakes, so you get fewer wrong answers on important tasks.

🧠 Remembers what matters — and you own it

Your preferences and notes live in a file you can read, edit, and export anytime. Take your context with you.

🛡️ Keeps your data private

It runs on your own AI account, strips out personal info before any cloud call, and never trains on your data.

💳 Never sends a surprise bill

Set a hard monthly limit. You get an alert before you hit it. No usage-billing roulette.

📱 Works everywhere

Use it in your browser, or install it on your phone and desktop like an app. No app store needed.

🌐 Searches the web when it matters

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.

Why one fixed AI costs you more

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.

Comparison describes the general single-model approach, not any specific product. Capabilities of other tools change over time — check their current features.

Private and secure by design

Privacy isn't a setting here — it's how it's built.

🔑 Runs on your own key

Encrypted and used only for your requests. We never pool one key across users.

🩹 Personal info stripped

Emails, phone numbers, keys, card and SSN patterns are removed before any cloud call — on by default.

🚫 Never trained on your data

We don't use your prompts or outputs to train models.

📒 You can see where data went

Every request records which model and provider handled it.

💳 Spend you control

A hard monthly cap with an early alert. A surprise bill is structurally impossible.

📦 Your data is portable

Export your memory anytime as a plain file. Yours to keep or take elsewhere.

Simple, honest pricing

A small flat fee for the assistant. AI usage runs at cost on your own key — we don't mark up tokens.

FAQ

How does Routel save me money?

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.

Which models can I use?

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.

Is my data safe?

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.

What about accuracy?

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.

Can I install it on my phone?

Yes — open routel.ai on your phone and tap "Install app" (or Add to Home Screen). No app store needed.
