# inference shell

A unified API platform selling access to multiple AI models and agent-building tools for developers building AI applications.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same model-access and tool-composition capability to the same frontend and AI developers who would shortlist Vercel's AI SDK and AI Gateway for building and deploying AI-powered apps.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> run any ai model with one api

> any ai model. one api call. image, video, audio, text, search, 3D

> agents from demo to production in an afternoon. durable execution, human-in-the-loop
