What it is
Archgw is an AI-native proxy designed to streamline the development of agentic applications by facilitating query understanding, routing, and seamless integration with tools and LLMs. It aims to simplify the heavy lifting involved in building such applications.
Gabriel’s notes
AI-native (edge and LLM) proxy for agents. Move faster by letting Arch handle the pesky heavy lifting in building agentic apps — ¡ query understanding and routing, seamless integration of prompts with tools, and unified access and observability of LLMs. Built by the contributors of Envoy proxy.
Good fit if you want to:
- automate repetitive workflows and connect apps without custom code.
- generate, edit, or enhance creative assets (images, design, branding).
