# API7.ai

An enterprise API gateway and AI gateway vendor selling API management and LLM/AI-agent traffic governance to developers and platform teams.

**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 AI gateway capability—routing, governance, and observability for LLM and agent traffic—to the same frontend and full-stack developers, platform engineers, and AI/agent builders who would shortlist Vercel's AI SDK and AI Gateway.

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

> govern your LLM and AI-agent traffic with AISIX — our open-source AI gateway

> Point your app at one OpenAI-compatible API and route, secure, and observe every model call
