We're building the routing layer for AI

Auraon was founded with one mission: make it trivially easy to use any LLM without vendor lock-in.

Our story

In 2024, our team kept hitting the same problem while building an AI product: every model had different strengths, different pricing, and different APIs. We were spending more time managing model integrations than building the product itself.

We built Auraon Router internally to solve this. A single intelligent endpoint that routes to the right model based on task type, cost, and latency requirements. It cut our LLM costs by 73% in the first month.

We decided to open it up to everyone. Today, thousands of developers use Auraon to power their AI applications — from solo builders to enterprise teams.

Our values

Developer-first

We build tools we want to use ourselves. Every API decision prioritizes developer experience.

Radical transparency

Public uptime history, transparent model pricing. No hidden fees, no black boxes.

Open ecosystem

We believe in a multi-model future. No vendor lock-in, bring your own keys, mix and match models.
