## Description

This project is a multi-provider AI gateway and proxy server that intercepts and routes requests between AI clients and various large language model providers. It functions as an API protocol translator and model router, mapping incoming requests to specific upstream providers or local runners to provide a unified interface for multiple models.

The system distinguishes itself by bridging chat platforms and command line interfaces, converting messages from chat services into managed command line sessions. It further optimizes traffic by executing certain web search and fetch requests locally and translating message formats, streaming events, and tool schemas between different provider standards.

The proxy includes capabilities for voice input and output processing, including audio-to-text transcription. It also provides a local web interface for managing provider keys, validates requests via authorization tokens, and implements a transport-class abstraction to support the integration of custom backend services.
