CoAI is an enterprise-grade, self-hostable AI gateway platform that unifies access to over 200 AI models from more than 35 providers through a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. It functions as a multi-tenant gateway, routing requests across providers with load balancing, automatic failover, and priority-based routing, while exposing standard OpenAI API endpoints for chat, image generation, model listing, and billing to enable seamless integration with existing tools and clients.
The platform distinguishes itself through a comprehensive set of operational capabilities built around the gateway. It includes a content moderation engine that scans AI-generated and user-provided content against custom safety policies, a multi-tenant token metering and billing system supporting subscription and pay-as-you-go plans, and a response caching layer that reduces latency and API costs for repeated requests. CoAI also provides a file parsing pipeline that extracts text from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, Excel, and images using OCR, a plugin-based extension system for adding new capabilities, and workflow automation for chaining AI calls into repeatable sequences.
Beyond the core gateway, CoAI offers a conversational AI assistant with knowledge base integration, web search, image generation via DALL-E, Midjourney, or Stable Diffusion, and speech recognition. It supports single sign-on authentication through SAML or OAuth, role-based access control, and real-time usage monitoring with interactive dashboards. The platform synchronizes chat history and settings across devices, and can be deployed via Docker, Kubernetes, or one-click cloud setups with elastic scaling for high availability.
