What you can build with ModelRiver
- Customer-facing AI features – chat assistants, summarisation, content generation, or creative tooling that needs reliable provider failover.
- Operational workflows – internal automation that requires structured outputs, audit trails, and centralised governance.
- Data pipelines – batch jobs that orchestrate different models while capturing rich request metadata for analytics or billing.
Key capabilities at a glance
- Single API surface – call
https://api.modelriver.com/v1/aiand route to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Cohere, Mistral, or your own custom provider without changing code. - Dashboard-first management – create projects, rotate provider credentials, generate API keys, design structured outputs, and replay logs.
- Multi-provider resilience – configure fallback providers and models so your workloads continue running when a vendor is rate-limited or offline.
- Transparent observability – every request is logged with latency, usage, cached context, and workflow metadata for instant debugging.
Who should use this platform
- Backend and platform engineers who want a stable abstraction over multiple AI vendors.
- Product managers and operators who need self-serve tooling to configure prompts, workflows, and structured outputs without redeploying code.
- Security and compliance owners who require a single place to audit access, rotate secrets, and manage data retention.
