How it works

One AI infrastructure control platform, explicit controls, measurable usage

The best referrals are practical: founders, agencies, bot builders, and crypto apps that already need model access, keys, credits, and usage visibility.

Referral traffic should point to a useful product path, not vague marketing. Link people to the pages that match their exact need: credits, keys, routing, or observability.

Decision guide

What to check before production traffic

Compatibility

Confirm SDK behavior, base URL setup, model IDs, streaming, and error handling before moving production traffic.

Operating controls

Check how API keys, balance, request logs, low-balance behavior, and offboarding work after launch.

Reporting workflow

Make sure the usage view answers finance, support, agency, or customer questions without rebuilding data manually.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before switching

Use these answers to decide what to test, what to keep, and what not to assume before moving production traffic.

Who is a good referral fit?

Teams with recurring AI API usage, multiple model needs, prepaid credit preferences, or client-facing AI operations.

What claims should referrals avoid?

Avoid guaranteed savings, fake customer stories, or claims about unsupported models.

Next step

Create a key and test one workflow.

Start with Agency partner referrals and Builder communities, then review usage before expanding routing rules.
