UsageGuard

UsageGuard – AI Security, Cost Control, and Usage Tracking

UsageGuard is an enterprise-ready AI development observability platform that provides a single hub for building, deploying, monitoring, securing, and optimizing AI applications. It offers a unified API to access multiple AI models, real-time analytics, governance, and cost management, designed to reduce latency and operational overhead while maintaining strict security and compliance.

Key Capabilities

• Unified inference endpoint: One API to access all supported AI models across providers.
• Observability: Real-time monitoring, analytics, debugging, and visibility into AI systems.
• Security & Governance: Enterprise-grade security controls, policy enforcement, and data protection.
• Cost Management: AI spend tracking, budgets, and automated cost controls.
• Deployment flexibility: Private cloud, on-premise, and global cloud regions for data residency and control.
• Model diversity: Support for major providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, Mistral, and more) with room to add custom models.
• Development tools: Build intelligent apps with document processing, unified inference, and autonomous agents.
• Agent capability (Beta): Build and deploy autonomous agents to automate tasks.
