How it works

Point-and-shoot vs smart routing

OpenRouter is a model marketplace you steer. Coworker's Optimized mode picks the right model per task and runs it against your connected tools, so quality holds without you babysitting model choice.

01

You ask

Send a task in chat, cowork, or code. No model wiring required.

02

Optimized routes

Coworker selects the right model for the task, from Kimi K2.6 to Claude Opus 4.8, GPT 5.5, or Gemini 3.1 Pro.

03

Context + US hosting

It runs with your company context attached, on US infrastructure under SOC 2 Type II.

Spend way less.

Three pieces of infrastructure do the heavy lifting: a portable context layer, an intelligent routing layer, and open-source models made enterprise-ready.

Optimized Context

OM2: a knowledge graph that learns across every connected data source, plus shared skills and artifact templates. Available in Coworker’s apps or any MCP-enabled client.

Intelligent Routing

The right model for every task, open or closed, frontier or fast, balancing cost, latency, and quality. Same outputs, 5x more tokens for the same spend.

Open and closed models

Open-source frontier models made enterprise-ready. Hosted in the US with the security, governance, and uptime your CIO expects. Ready to go.
