gateway

gateway is a lightweight, headless tool designed to manage and route AI requests to OpenAI services. It operates without a GUI, running in the background via command line, making it suitable for server or automated environments. Key features include multi-user support with authentication, automatic personal information redaction, detailed usage logging, and real-time cost tracking. It enforces rate limits to prevent abuse and supports configuration through files or environment variables. The tool is distributed as a single executable file for Windows, requiring no complex installation — users simply download, run, and optionally configure. Logs are stored locally for audit and troubleshooting. While primarily focused on OpenAI, its design suggests potential extensibility to other providers. Security is emphasized through encryption, access controls, and compliance-ready logging. Updates involve replacing the executable while preserving configurations. Ideal for teams needing visibility, control, and cost accountability over AI API usage without relying on third-party platforms.
