Netlify AI Gateway - Use AI models without managing keys or billing
by•
Netlify AI Gateway makes it easier to build AI features while you’re vibe coding.
Instead of pausing to create provider accounts, manage API keys, or set up billing, AI Gateway securely handles credentials and usage for you. You can call the latest models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini directly from your Netlify project.
It’s a faster path from experimenting with AI to something ready to run in production.

Neat stuff, I'll definitely give Monocle a try this weekend!
ps best of luck on your launch today! I'm rapidly closing with at place #11 today!
🚀 Love how Netlify AI Gateway removes the unglamorous but painful parts of AI dev — keys, billing, and provider juggling. Calling OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini from one gateway feels like a huge unlock for going from vibe coding to production.
Curious: do you plan to add smart routing or fallback between models based on latency, cost, or errors as teams start scaling usage?
This is a massive unlock for frontend-focused devs! 🔓
You nailed it with the 'vibe coding' angle. As an indie hacker, nothing kills momentum faster than having to pause a build just to set up billing accounts and rotate API keys across 3 different providers. Having a unified gateway to swap between OpenAI and Anthropic without rewriting backend logic is a huge time-saver for MVPs.
Question: Does the Gateway provide a unified dashboard to track token usage/costs across all these models? That would be a killer feature for solo devs trying to stick to a budget. Upvoted!
“Even a few concise quotes or examples from teams using these features could add a lot of trust and context for readers exploring the platform. Tools like Retour make it easy for makers to collect and display short, authentic user feedback—just a small addition that can strengthen any product page.”
This seems like a trap deliberately designed to create vendor lock-in.
@school_4_ants Could you elaborate? From my perspective it seems like the complete opposite. You can switch AI vendors at will, and if you want to move your app off Netlify you have quite literally zero lines of code to change.
Congrats KP and team! How easy is it to switch or compare models (OpenAI vs Anthropic vs Gemini) without changing app logic?
Does AI Gateway support usage limits or guardrails per environment (dev vs prod) to avoid surprise costs?

How are latency handled when calling different providers through the gateway? Congrats on launching!

Is this designed more for rapid prototyping or are teams already running production workloads through it?
Any plans to support fine-tuned or custom models in addition to the hosted providers?
