Build Reliable AI Apps — AI Gateway & LLM observability

What it does

Helicone provides an OpenAI-compatible AI Gateway to 100+ models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, etc.) with unified billing / credits, automatic fallbacks, and full request logging in the Helicone dashboard. Agents and apps use a single API key instead of juggling many provider keys — optional bring-your-own-key mode for advanced control — see Quickstart.


Agent-facing interfaces

How agents onboard

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://ai-gateway.helicone.ai",
  apiKey: process.env.HELICONE_API_KEY,
});

See the full onboarding section in the dossier.
