Nothing reaches an AI model unchecked.
Axonyx Gateway sits between your apps and the AI providers. Every request is checked, and the risky ones stopped, before anything leaves your business.
It works the same way OpenAI does, so bringing a tool under control is a settings change and a key. No rewrite, and nothing to install on laptops.

Your apps talk to Axonyx. Axonyx talks to the AI providers. That one change gives you a single place to apply your rules, control what you spend, and know what happened.
Your applications
- Internal tools & services
- Customer-facing chatbots
- Agents & automations
- Developer SDKs
Axonyx Gateway
- Identity & policy
- Limits & budgets
- Content inspection
- Model routing
- Response checks
- Full run record
Model providers
- Major cloud model APIs
- Sovereign endpoints
- Your private models
- Self-hosted & open source
Axonyx is owned by none of the AI providers, so your rules, your spending limits and your records survive a change of provider. Swap a model and you rebuild nothing.
Fourteen checks, in the same order, every time.
No shortcuts and no exceptions. Every request goes through the same checks in the same order, and most of it happens before you have spent a penny.
Identify
We work out who is asking, and which rules apply to them, before looking at anything else. Nothing runs anonymously.
Contain
Spending caps and limits apply here, so a runaway agent is stopped while stopping it is still free.
Inspect
The content is scanned for sensitive data and for attempts to trick the AI, in every form it can arrive in, not just the obvious one.
Route
Approved models only, the cheapest one that can do the job, an already-answered question served instantly, and a backup if a provider is down.
Answer
The answer is scanned on the way back for leaked data, made-up claims and bias, and the whole thing is recorded before anyone sees it.
Three ways a request stops before you pay for it
Most AI controls sit behind the bill. The request goes out, the money is spent, you find out later. These four happen before a provider is ever called.
Blocked
It breaks a rule you set, so it stops. The person gets a clear refusal and it is recorded against the app that sent it.
Masked
The sensitive part is hidden and the rest goes through. The AI gets what it needs and nothing it should not see.
Answered from cache
A question already answered is served instantly. No provider call, nothing spent, and the same checks as the original.
A request cannot talk its way into a weaker policy
Control you can talk your way out of is not control. Axonyx separates what has been proved from what has merely been claimed. Only the first counts.
The credential decides the policy
However someone arrives, they resolve to one identity, and the rules that apply are the ones tied to the key they logged in with. Claiming to be someone else changes nothing, and the attempt is recorded.
Attribution is recorded, never trusted
Workflow details are recorded, so an action traces back to whatever set it off. They never grant permission, so faking them gains nothing.
This matters most where you can see it least. AI agents act for many people, across many steps, at machine speed.
Cheaper and steadier, without you doing anything
Sitting in the middle does not just let Axonyx stop things. It lets it cut your bill and keep you running.
Right-sized models
Simple work does not need your most expensive model. Axonyx sends it to a cheaper one where a cheaper one will do, and never the other way round.
Budgets that hold
Spending caps are checked as the money is spent, not at month end. When a cap is hit, Axonyx stops it rather than emailing you about it.
Fallback when a provider fails
Providers have bad days. Axonyx drops a failing one and moves to the next, so an outage means a slower answer rather than no answer.

Six things you get for free
None of this asks anything of your teams. It follows from every request taking the same route.
Secure by design
Content is checked in every form it can arrive in, so nobody dodges a rule by dressing the request up differently.
Governed consistently
The same rules, budgets and approved models apply to every app, whether it was built last year or last week.
Cost controlled
Caps, smarter routing and reusing answers all cut your AI bill, and Cost Explorer shows where the rest went.
Fully observable
Every decision is recorded against the request that caused it, so an audit question and a support ticket get answered from the same screen.
Resilient
When a provider goes down, Axonyx moves to the next one and your services keep answering.
Easy to integrate
It works the same way OpenAI does, so it drops straight into what your developers already use.
Your cloud or ours - same gateway, same control
Two ways to run it. Same checks, same rules, same dashboards. The only question is where it lives.
Axonyx Cloud
We run it. Point your AI traffic at Axonyx and the control switches on. Scaling, updates and monitoring are ours to worry about.
- Live in days, with no infrastructure work on your side
- No servers to run and no code changes to your apps
- Choose which country your data sits in
- New controls, models and frameworks arrive automatically
Best for: organisations that want enterprise AI control now, without running new infrastructure.
Self-hosted - Kubernetes & Docker
The same product, running inside your own environment, on the container platform your team already uses.
- Questions, answers and evidence never leave your network
- Runs on the platform your team already operates
- Your hardware, your keys, your access controls
- Fits private cloud, on-premises and regulated environments
Best for: regulated and sovereignty-driven organisations with strict data-boundary requirements.
Not sure? Most customers start on our cloud for speed, then move sensitive work onto their own hardware later. Your rules, dashboards and evidence carry across unchanged.
Days to deploy, not months
Either way it fits what you already have. Nothing to rip out, and no code changes to the tools your teams use.
Connect, don’t rebuild
Point your AI traffic at Axonyx and control switches on across the apps, browsers and workflows you already have.
Your rules from day one
Start with ready-made packs for your sector, then adjust them to match how much risk you are willing to carry.
Sovereign options
Choose which country your data sits in and which provider handles which work.
Value before the first renewal
Unapproved AI found, sensitive data protected and evidence piling up from the first week, on a dashboard your leadership will actually read.
Same gateway, whichever you buy
Every edition runs on the same checkpoint. What changes is how much you can build on top of it.
Axonyx Core
Ready-made rules that stop data leaks and attempts to trick the AI, a limited list of approved models, a full record of every request, and a clear cost per team.
Axonyx Enterprise
Adds your own rules, different rules per app, limits on AI agents, spend caps, answer-quality checks and framework evidence.
One base URL away from governed.
We will point one of your own tools at Axonyx, block nothing, and show you what a week of your real AI traffic actually looks like.
