For SaaS Builders

Add AI to your SaaS — without vendor lock-in

Start free — 2 calls, no card

SaaS teams that hardcode OpenAI regret it

🔒

Vendor lock-in

OpenAI raises prices 20%? Anthropic cuts your rate limit? Your product just got 20% more expensive or throttled. You can't easily switch — your code is tied to their SDK.

⚠️

Outages kill features

OpenAI had 3 major outages last quarter. During each one, your AI-powered feature was dead. Your users blame you, not OpenAI.

💸

Overpaying on easy tasks

You're using Claude Opus for classification? That's $25/M tokens. DeepSeek V3 does the same task for $0.42/M — 50× cheaper. But switching means rewriting.

AIPower gives SaaS builders 3 superpowers

🔁

Switch models instantly

Change model="gpt-5.4" to model="auto-cheap" and you're running on DeepSeek. No new SDK, no new account, no refactor. Test quality in production with A/B traffic splits — never married to one vendor.

🛡️

Auto-failover saves your SLAs

Every request has a built-in fallback chain to a different provider. When OpenAI 5xx's, your request goes to Claude transparently. Your SLA dashboard shows 99.95% even when upstream providers have outages.

📊

Per-feature cost attribution

/dashboard/analytics shows cost by model. Tag requests with metadata (user_id, feature_name) and query which SaaS features eat your AI budget. Optimize the top 20% that drive 80% of spend.

The SaaS pattern: feature → task-type → model

Route each product feature to its optimal model automatically.

// In your SaaS feature handlers
const aipower = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.aipower.me/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.AIPOWER_API_KEY,
});

// Feature: summarize user documents
async function summarizeDocument(text: string) {
  return aipower.chat.completions.create({
    model: "auto-cheap",  // DeepSeek V3 — 50× cheaper than Opus
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Summarize:\n\n" + text }],
  });
}

// Feature: AI-assisted code editor
async function suggestCode(context: string) {
  return aipower.chat.completions.create({
    model: "auto-code",   // Claude Sonnet 4 — 78% SWE-bench
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: context }],
  });
}

// Feature: complex legal analysis
async function analyzeContract(contract: string) {
  return aipower.chat.completions.create({
    model: "auto-best",   // Claude Opus 4.6 — highest quality
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: contract }],
  });
}

// Feature: realtime chat autocomplete
async function autocomplete(partial: string) {
  return aipower.chat.completions.create({
    model: "auto-fast",   // Qwen Turbo — <500ms
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Complete: " + partial }],
  });
}

SaaS-specific FAQ

Can I A/B test two models in production?

Yes. Route 50% of traffic to model="openai/gpt-5.4" and 50% to model="deepseek/deepseek-chat", log cost + quality metrics, pick the winner in a week.

How do I attribute AI cost to a specific customer tier?

Pass metadata in your requests (OpenAI SDK's optional `user` field). Query /api/usage/logs with that user tag to see per-customer AI spend.

Can I set a monthly spending cap per customer?

Yes. Use daily_cap_cents at your account level. For per-customer: throttle in your app layer before calling AIPower.

What if AIPower goes down?

Cloudflare Workers have 99.99% uptime. If we go down, our failover kicks in at the gateway level. Your app would need to fall back to direct provider calls in worst case — but we've had 0 outages > 5 minutes in 2026.

Can I self-host if I outgrow you?

You're not locked in at all. If you build enough scale to justify your own multi-provider router, you can gradually replace AIPower calls with direct provider calls. Same SDK. Same model names (just drop the provider prefix). No data migration.
