# Agumbe AI

Agumbe gives engineering teams two focused control layers for production AI systems.

## AI Gateway

AI Gateway governs the path between applications and model providers. Use it to route requests, manage provider credentials, enforce guardrails and budgets, and observe tokens, cost, latency, errors, and traces.

## XContext

XContext governs the context used by AI agents. Use it to reduce bulky tool output, redact secrets, persist durable context references, retrieve only the material a task needs, and measure delivered token savings.

XContext can run entirely on a developer machine with an embedded SQLite store, or connect to Agumbe Cloud for shared sessions, API keys, and the web console.

The products work independently and complement one another: XContext prepares and governs agent context; AI Gateway governs the model request that carries it.
