  ngrok AI Gateway provides traffic management and security for AI APIs including
  multi-provider routing, automatic failover, LLM prompt inspection, rate limiting,
  caching, observability, PII redaction, and access control. It enables teams to
  manage, secure, and monitor traffic to AI model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic,
  Google, DeepSeek) and self-hosted models such as Ollama and vLLM through an
  OpenAI-compatible interface.

      ngrok AI Gateway exposes an OpenAI-compatible HTTP interface for routing
      requests across multiple AI providers and self-hosted models. Each AI
      Gateway instance has a unique base URL of the form
      https://your-ai-gateway.ngrok.app/v1 and accepts standard OpenAI SDK calls
      including chat completions. Traffic policies provide rate limiting, prompt
      inspection, PII redaction, response sanitization, model access control,
      cost-based routing, and automatic provider failover.
