The self-hosted control planefor AI agents.
One endpoint in front of every model, tool and agent your organization runs. Build agents wherever you like; they reach everything through Wäg. Identity, budgets, tool policy, approvals and audit are enforced before a token is spent — and all of it runs in your own infrastructure.
Applications ask for intelligence. Your platform decides the rest.
Every month brings a new model; every quarter a new provider. Your applications shouldn't carry that complexity — they send one request, and Wäg makes every infrastructure decision once, for all of them.
Those are infrastructure decisions, and they are currently duplicated across every service, notebook and agent in your organization — inconsistently, and usually undocumented. Made once at the control plane, every application is governed. Including the ones nobody told you about.
Four things your organization gets, whatever it builds next
Budgets that stop spend, not dashboards that report it. Limits stack from organization to team, user, application, model and key. A breach rejects the request before the provider is called, and every request is priced and attributed as it happens.

Every decision is made before a token is spent
One pipeline for every request. A request that fails a check stops there — before the provider is contacted, and before anyone is charged.

Every request, every rule, in one console
The same console your platform team runs: traffic, spend, provider health and every routing decision, on your own infrastructure.

European by design — not by data-center region
Most AI gateways put a vendor's control plane above your data. Wäg has no control plane of its own: both planes run in your infrastructure, so there is no data path anyone could compel — in any jurisdiction, including ours.
Speaks the API you already use
Point any OpenAI-compatible client at Wäg and every request runs through the pipeline. Already running LiteLLM? Import its configuration with one command.

The gateway's production path is Apache-2.0. Enterprise adds what large organizations need around it: corporate identity, audit and evidence, agent payments, device enforcement and support.
