ContextLane helps companies scale AI without losing control of cost or quality. It routes each request to the lowest-cost capable model, enforces policy, and makes every routing decision auditable.
Current Status
ContextLane is live as a self-hosted product and is being tested in active customer pilots. We spend approximately 1 billion tokens per month evaluating and improving routing quality. Pilot feedback is shaping the product as we prepare for broader commercial rollout.
Problem or Opportunity
AI adoption is accelerating, but teams lack control over the cost, quality, and reliability of model usage. Choosing the right model for each request is difficult, provider failures disrupt workflows, and routing decisions are often opaque. ContextLane helps teams use AI at scale with predictable costs and clear, auditable routing.
Solution (product or service)
ContextLane is a routing layer for production AI. It connects to a team’s existing model providers and directs each request to the lowest-cost model that meets its quality and policy requirements. Teams keep their existing tools and workflows while gaining provider failover, configurable routing policies, and a clear audit trail of model choices, costs, and outcomes.
Business model
ContextLane sells a self-hosted software subscription for $990 per month, with unlimited requests and seats. Customers run the gateway in their own infrastructure, connect their own AI provider accounts, and pay providers directly for usage.
