Netlify AI Gateway makes it easier to build AI features while you’re vibe coding. Instead of pausing to create provider accounts, manage API keys, or set up billing, AI Gateway securely handles credentials and usage for you. You can call the latest models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini directly from your Netlify project. It’s a faster path from experimenting with AI to something ready to run in production.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m on the Netlify team, we built AI Gateway after seeing how often you're on a roll vibe coding and then account setup derails everything.
When you’re moving fast adding AI usually means stopping to create provider accounts, set up API keys, and think about billing earlier than you want to. That friction breaks momentum.
AI Gateway removes that setup layer and makes ongoing management simple when you're ready to scale. Credentials and usage are handled automatically and securely, so you can call models from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini directly from your Netlify project and stay focused on the feature you’re building.
To make it easy to try, every account starts with 300 free credits, so you can experiment without upfront setup or cost.
I’d love to hear:
• Where does building with AI slow you down the most today?
• What’s the first AI feature you've tried to build?
Happy to answer questions or go deeper on how this works.
Wow, Netlify looks amazing! Love the AI Gateway feature for quickly prototyping AI integrations. Im curious, how does the billing work when switching between different AI providers?
We are actually developing several AI applications. We’ll take a look at your project, thank you.
Any plans to support fine-tuned or custom models in addition to the hosted providers?
Is this designed more for rapid prototyping or are teams already running production workloads through it?
How are latency handled when calling different providers through the gateway? Congrats on launching!
Does AI Gateway support usage limits or guardrails per environment (dev vs prod) to avoid surprise costs?
Congrats KP and team! How easy is it to switch or compare models (OpenAI vs Anthropic vs Gemini) without changing app logic?
“Even a few concise quotes or examples from teams using these features could add a lot of trust and context for readers exploring the platform. Tools like Retour make it easy for makers to collect and display short, authentic user feedback—just a small addition that can strengthen any product page.”
@gehrigkunz Using AI models without managing keys or billing removes huge friction! The one line integration to access multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) is exactly what vibe coding needs.
I'm curious about the credit system. After the 300 free credits, how does pricing scale? And can teams set usage limits or get notifications when approaching credit thresholds?
This is a massive unlock for frontend-focused devs! 🔓
You nailed it with the 'vibe coding' angle. As an indie hacker, nothing kills momentum faster than having to pause a build just to set up billing accounts and rotate API keys across 3 different providers. Having a unified gateway to swap between OpenAI and Anthropic without rewriting backend logic is a huge time-saver for MVPs.
Question: Does the Gateway provide a unified dashboard to track token usage/costs across all these models? That would be a killer feature for solo devs trying to stick to a budget. Upvoted!
🚀 Love how Netlify AI Gateway removes the unglamorous but painful parts of AI dev — keys, billing, and provider juggling. Calling OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini from one gateway feels like a huge unlock for going from vibe coding to production. Curious: do you plan to add smart routing or fallback between models based on latency, cost, or errors as teams start scaling usage?
Neat stuff, I'll definitely give Monocle a try this weekend!
ps best of luck on your launch today! I'm rapidly closing with at place #11 today!
I've recently faced a spam problem on my agency's website: we were getting a 10-20 fake requests a day with time interval from valid emails but with random names, etc. It would a nice add-on for the AI Gateway in the future to actually prevent sending these requests. I have a Make automation to route these leads to Pipedrive/Slack/Sendgrid, and I would love to limit these requests even before they enter the webhook and trigger the automation.
The model switching part is underrated. Testing Claude vs GPT without refactoring is huge.
Founders need to focus on their business and Netlify free them out from api management and billing control etc! Great product!
Incredibly handy to have the most powerful models able to be integrated into your app all in one place and without leaving my Netlify workspace. No more switching and swapping API keys and managing the set up.
Attended the Netlify Community Drop session and was impressed just how fast KP and Dom showed the new features and demonstrated how to build an AI ready app in minutes! Eager to update my current workflows now and track everything with a single view and build my ideas even faster.
As a Netlify user since 2017, I'm super happy this is now live! This'll enable anyone to build rich, AI-powered applications for internal and external use cases. Super excited to see what everyone builds 🚀
been on Netlify for years for static stuff. AI Gateway sounds... actually useful tbh. no more juggling API keys/envs across projects is nice. curious about added latency and what the rate limits + logs look like. might try it on a weekend toy.
