AI Grid is a governed gateway for AI products, with a console to administer them. An organization structures its people into teams and projects, funds each project with its own wallet, and calls published models through one OpenAI-compatible API using project-scoped API keys. Every call is authorized, metered and charged against the calling project's wallet.
The pieces#
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
| Organization | Your account boundary on the grid — a company or your personal workspace. Holds the members, teams and projects |
| Team | A group of people inside an organization. Teams own projects; membership alone grants no project rights |
| Project | The unit that actually makes calls. Holds the wallet, the API keys, the product assignments and the usage records |
| Project wallet | Each project's own balance, funded by the organization Owner. Calls reserve, settle and release against it |
| Catalogue | The published model products your organization can see, each an immutable version with frozen pricing |
| API keys | Credentials (aig_…) bound to exactly one project, issued by members with consumption rights on it |
| Playground | An in-console chat surface that runs on your browser session — no API key needed |
| Sandbox studio | A project-private studio for building small node-graph products out of the models already assigned to a project |
How a call flows#
- A member with consumption rights on a project issues an API key bound to that project.
- The key calls
POST /v1/chat/completions(orGET /v1/modelsto discover what it can reach). - Admission checks the key, the project grant, the product assignment and the project's policies — then reserves a conservative cost ceiling from the project wallet.
- The provider answers; verified usage settles the actual charge and releases the difference. A call refused before reaching a provider is never charged.
Who may do what is explicit throughout: organization Owners fund wallets, organization administrators assign product versions to projects, and only people with an explicit Project Owner or Project Consumer grant can spend.
