Why we are not building another AI chat interface
Hi Product Hunt! A lot of AI tools focus on the user-facing layer: chat interfaces, prompt tools, agents, and content generation. Those are important, but we became more interested in the infrastructure layer behind AI products. When developers build with AI APIs, they need to manage practical things: - Model access
- API workflow
- Usage visibility
- Documentation
- Dashboard management
- Team coordination These problems are less flashy, but they become important once an AI product moves beyond experimentation. That is why we built ChinaRouter. ChinaRouter is a unified AI API gateway and admin dashboard. The goal is to make the operational side of AI API usage clearer and easier to manage.
