02 — AI Gateway & Control Plane
Coming soonPorticOne gateway for every model.
Portic is on the way — one governed, portable gateway for every AI model, so AI stays a component you control, never a dependency that controls you.
What it is
One contract. Any model.
Portic sits between your applications and every model you use — routing, governing and auditing traffic through a single, portable interface.
Route
Every model behind one contract; providers become interchangeable.
Govern
Policy, rate limits and access control enforced centrally.
Audit
Full request and response logging for compliance and cost.
Swap
Change providers or models without touching application code.
The problem
Your team already uses AI. Right now you can't see how.
Employees paste real work into personal AI tools long before governance catches up. Proofpoint cites that 78% of U.S. workers who use AI at work use tools their employer did not provide, creating shadow AI, GDPR exposure and no audit trail when confidential data crosses into public models.
Sanctioned AI path
One AI gateway and self-hosted LLM gateway for approved models, with no telemetry and no reason to fall back to private accounts.
AI governance by policy
Model routing, allowlists, PII redaction and team-level rules enforce sanctioned AI without blanket bans.
AI usage visibility
A defensible AI audit log records request and response traffic for GDPR AI, EU AI Act and internal review.
Spend and quota control
Per-team quotas and AI spend control keep usage visible, budgeted and safe to scale as sovereign AI infrastructure.
Turn shadow AI into governed AI — one sanctioned gateway, full audit, and no data leaves your control.
Open core
Two ways to run Portic.
Start free and self-hosted, licensed Apache 2.0. Move to Enterprise or Hosted when you need governance at scale.
Community edition · Apache 2.0
Self-hosted, open source
The gateway core: routing, policy and audit, licensed Apache 2.0 and run entirely on your own infrastructure.
- Model routing & failover
- Policy enforcement
- Request & response audit log
- Apache 2.0, self-hosted

Enterprise / Hosted
Governed at scale
Everything in Community, plus centralized governance and a hosted option for teams who'd rather not run it themselves.
- Centralized policy & governance
- Usage analytics & cost attribution
- SSO, audit logs & compliance
- Hosted or self-managed
- Dedicated support & SLA
Same app as Community · licensed in place
Edition comparison
Community is the real gateway. Enterprise adds the commercial edge.
Portic Community stays production-worthy and self-hosted. Enterprise and Hosted compose private modules on the same core for centralized governance, enterprise identity and commercial operability.
| Capability | Community | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| Gateway runtime | Self-hosted, production-worthy open core | Same core, composed with private enterprise modules |
| Model routing | Provider-neutral routing and failover | Same core, plus advanced routing strategies |
| Policy and audit | Core policy enforcement and AI audit through the gateway | Centralized governance and policy at scale |
| Identity and access | Community deployment path | Enterprise identity at scale, including SSO |
| Control plane | Run it yourself on your own infrastructure | Hosted control plane or private enterprise deployment |
| Usage and cost | Core visibility through the gateway | Usage analytics and cost attribution at scale |
| Operability | Community support on GitHub | Commercial support, hosted operability and SLA |
