FOR DEVELOPERS & BUILDERS

Replace OpenAI Without Rewriting Your App

SecludedAI Gateway exposes an OpenAI-compatible API so you can route existing AI calls through infrastructure you control without changing how your app works.

Supports Chat Completions and the newer Responses API

OpenAI-style request/response format
Minimal or no code changes
Full control over model routing
No vendor lock-in

Most Apps Are Locked Into Someone Else's AI

If your app depends on OpenAI or another hosted AI provider, you are tied to token-based pricing that can change, rate limits and usage caps, external infrastructure you don't control, and vendor lock-in that's hard to unwind. For many teams, AI becomes a dependency instead of an asset.

Common Lock-In Points

Token-based pricing that can change
Rate limits and usage caps
External infrastructure you don't control
Vendor lock-in that's hard to unwind

SecludedAI Turns AI Into Infrastructure You Own

SecludedAI separates the API layer from the execution layer. Your app continues making OpenAI-style requests, but instead of sending them to a third-party provider, they go through your own Gateway and Core.

You control where requests go

You control how models are selected

You control how your AI system evolves

Same API Pattern. Different Destination.

OpenAI Models

SecludedAI Gateway

Your Core Models

Your application logic does not need to change. Instead, you point your API requests to your SecludedAI Gateway, which authenticates the request, routes it to the correct model, and executes it inside your environment.

Supports Modern OpenAI API Patterns

SecludedAI Gateway is designed to support both Chat Completions and the newer Responses API, giving developers familiar request patterns and a path toward modern AI workflows.

Supports

Chat Completions API for legacy and widely used integrations
Responses API for newer unified text, tool, and multimodal patterns
Incremental migration at your own pace
JSON request/response flows
Model abstraction at the API layer

Result

You can keep existing integrations, adopt newer API patterns, and migrate at your own pace.

Use the API Pattern You Already Know

SecludedAI Gateway is designed to support the same familiar request and response structure developers already use for AI-powered applications. Replace the endpoint, keep the workflow, and move the intelligence layer under your control.

Example Request

curl https://your-gateway.yourdomain.com/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "system",
        "content": "You are a helpful assistant."
      },
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Write a short product summary for a portable EV charger."
      }
    ],
    "temperature": 0.2,
    "max_tokens": 300,
    "stream": false
  }'

What Changes?

In many cases, the main change is simply where the request goes. Instead of routing AI calls to a third-party provider, your application sends them to your own SecludedAI Gateway, where you control authentication, model routing, and execution.

Developer Note

SecludedAI Gateway is designed to preserve a familiar API contract while moving request handling and model execution under infrastructure you control.

Before

const response = await fetch("https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY}`
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: "gpt-4o-mini",
    messages: [
      { role: "user", content: "Write a short product summary." }
    ]
  })
});

javascript

After

const response = await fetch("https://your-gateway.yourdomain.com/api/v1/chat/completions", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.SECLUDEDAI_API_KEY}`
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: "gpt-4o-mini",
    messages: [
      { role: "user", content: "Write a short product summary." }
    ]
  })
});

Built for the New OpenAI API Standard

SecludedAI Gateway supports the newer Responses API, which is designed to unify chat, structured output, and future tool-based workflows under a single endpoint. This allows your application to use the latest API patterns while still running on infrastructure you control.

Example Request (Responses API)

curl https://your-gateway.yourdomain.com/api/v1/responses \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4.1-mini",
    "input": "Write a short product description for a smart EV charger.",
    "temperature": 0.2
  }'

curl

Example Response

{
  "id": "resp_9a7c3b12-7f4c-4c21-a7f1-1e8f2a9d3b2c",
  "object": "response",
  "created": 1776355200,
  "model": "gpt-4.1-mini",
  "output": [
    {
      "id": "msg_1",
      "type": "output_text",
      "text": "This smart EV charger combines intelligent power management with a compact design, making it an efficient and reliable solution for both home and on-the-go charging."
    }
  ],
  "usage": {
    "input_tokens": 18,
    "output_tokens": 34,
    "total_tokens": 52
  }
}

  },

Why This Matters

The Responses API is the direction modern AI systems are moving toward. By supporting it, SecludedAI allows you to adopt the latest API patterns, build more flexible applications, support future features like tools and structured outputs, and avoid being locked into legacy patterns.

You can continue using Chat Completions, or move to the newer Responses API. Both are supported by SecludedAI Gateway, giving you flexibility while maintaining full control over your infrastructure.

Why Developers Move to SecludedAI

Control

Route and manage AI requests inside your own infrastructure.

Stability

Avoid sudden pricing changes, rate limits, and API policy shifts.

Flexibility

Choose how models are deployed and evolve your stack over time.

Ownership

Your AI system becomes part of your architecture, not an external dependency.

Modern API Support

Support both legacy Chat Completions and modern Responses API patterns.

This Is Not About Tokens

SecludedAI is not a usage-based API replacement. It is a platform for running AI on infrastructure you control, managing AI through your own API layer, and building long-term systems without vendor dependency.

Designed for Real Applications, Not Demos

SecludedAI is built to support production APIs, content generation systems, automation pipelines, internal tools, and private business workflows. This is infrastructure, not a sandbox.

Move at Your Own Pace

You don't need to switch everything overnight. Start by routing a subset of requests through SecludedAI, testing model behavior, and expanding usage over time.

A Better Way to Structure AI Systems

SecludedAI splits your AI stack into Studio for user experience, Gateway for API and control, Core for model execution, and Tunnel for secure connectivity.

Studio

Tunnel

Gateway

Core

Hosted experience, secure connectivity, API control, and model execution each have a clear role.

Architecture Advantage

Easier to manage
Easier to scale
Easier to own

SecludedAI Gateway is designed to stay aligned with evolving OpenAI API patterns while keeping execution under your control.
