When people talk about AI products, the conversation usually focuses on the visible parts:
- The model output
- The prompt experience
- The chat interface
- The agent workflow
- The product UX
But behind every AI product, there is an operating layer that developers still have to manage.
This layer includes:
- Model access
- API routing
- Usage visibility
- Integration documentation
- Dashboard workflows
- Team-level organization
If this layer is fragmented, development becomes slower and harder to maintain.
ChinaRouter is one attempt to make this layer easier to manage. It is a unified AI API gateway and admin dashboard for developers and AI builders.

I think this kind of tooling will matter more as AI apps move from experiments to real products.
What do you think is still missing in AI API tooling?
