Give every project a hosted backend URL. Your browser or mobile app sends end-user sessions; Switchboard keeps provider credentials, auth checks, and usage controls off the client.

AI + billing
Backend-free AI
Replace the proxy server, key storage, customer sessions, and billing checks that usually sit between a frontend and an AI provider.

The normal path to AI features turns into secret storage, proxy routes, auth, rate limits, token metering, and Stripe events.
Switchboard gives client apps a managed backend instead.
A simple AI button becomes production infrastructure.
More backend than feature.
One hosted backend URL covers the critical path.
Client app stays clean.
Switchboard connects client sessions, model providers, usage controls, and billing in one hosted path.
One project URL for browser and mobile AI calls.
Authenticate users without handing them provider credentials.
Add checkout when usage should become revenue.
Track requests, cost, billing status, and limits.
Billing starts after you know who the user is, whether they can call the model, and how much the request cost. Switchboard handles that path before usage reaches Stripe.
Client sessions, model access, metering, and Stripe usage events stay in one hosted path.
Replace the server you would normally write just to protect keys, identify users, stream responses, meter tokens, and block unpaid usage.
One managed layer
Hosted auth, secure AI calls, streaming, metering, billing gates, and analytics.
Ship AI into browsers, mobile apps, extensions, and SaaS products without exposing provider keys or standing up a custom backend first.
