The problem

Buying AI from Latin America shouldn't be this hard

AI providers were built for companies that pay in dollars from the United States. Everyone else pays a hidden tax in fees, paperwork and downtime.

  • Dollar invoices, local budgets

    Providers bill in USD. FX spreads and taxes on international payments, such as IOF, inflate every invoice, and no forecast survives a currency swing.

  • Declined cards, stalled products

    Banks flag recurring charges from abroad. When the card is declined, API access stops, and your product stops with it.

  • No valid tax invoice

    A foreign receipt is not a CFDI or a nota fiscal. Finance chases paperwork every month and deductibility is at risk.

  • Keys and costs everywhere

    Every team opens its own account with every provider. Nobody can say how much the company spends on AI, or on what.

  • Frontier prices for simple tasks

    Most requests don't need the most expensive model. Without routing, classification, extraction and short answers all go to it anyway.

  • Benchmarks that only speak English

    Public leaderboards rarely measure Spanish or Portuguese. Your customers notice the difference, even when the benchmark doesn't.

How it works

From provider keys to visible usage

The product workflow connects your existing AI accounts to controlled access and usage reporting. Contact us about beta access.

  1. 01

    Connect your providers

    Bring your own provider keys and keep your existing provider accounts.

  2. 02

    Create Clara virtual keys

    Give each application its own key and choose the models it can access.

  3. 03

    Understand usage and spend

    Send supported requests through one endpoint and review model usage and costs in USD.

Optimization roadmap

Lower costs, with guardrails on quality

Explore model routing, context efficiency and the controls that can make AI spend easier to manage. These capabilities are part of the product direction.

Product direction

Explore the optimization and finance capabilities we are developing. Availability is confirmed for each beta setup.

Spend less

  • Smart routing

    Explore choosing models by task complexity, language, latency target and cost ceiling.

  • Context optimization

    Planned context controls can reduce redundant input and take advantage of provider-side prompt caching.

  • Response caching

    Explore reusing eligible responses so repeated work does not require a fresh model call every time.

  • Language on/off-ramps

    An experimental path for eligible Spanish and Portuguese workloads: compact input, then restore the original language.

Stay in control

  • Quality guardrails

    Compare candidates against a task-specific quality bar and keep critical flows pinned to an approved model.

  • Automatic fallbacks

    Provider-aware retries and fallback policies are part of the reliability direction; the enabled policy depends on the setup.

  • Budgets and hard limits

    Budget controls by key, team or project are planned, with thresholds and hard limits confirmed for each pilot.

  • Cost analysis

    Start with model, token and USD cost visibility; richer route explanations and savings analysis are planned.

Payment benefit scenario

+5%

Savings that stack

Model the savings before you switch.

Explore a scenario with up to 40% optimization and a 5% payment benefit. Both are assumptions in this calculator, not measured results or a guaranteed offer.

  • Optimization comes first

    The payment scenario applies after optimization: 40% and then 5% combine to 43% in the worked example.

  • Change the assumptions

    Adjust your monthly spend and expected optimization to see the effect on monthly and yearly totals.

  • Connect savings to spend visibility

    Use the estimate to start a conversation about workloads, ownership and the product capabilities available to your team.

For finance

Reporting preview · planned

Next: reporting for your organization

Reporting by legal entity, country and functional currency is planned. The preview illustrates that direction; it does not represent local billing or tax invoicing available today.

Built for Latin America

Made here, for companies that operate here

AI spend crosses borders; budgets, accounting and language remain local. The roadmap brings those needs into the same product.

  • Local-currency billing

    Planned: report and manage AI spend in MXN, BRL or COP alongside the original USD cost. Local billing remains a future capability.

  • Tax-valid invoices

    Planned: workflows for CFDI in Mexico, nota fiscal in Brazil and factura electrónica in Colombia, subject to country-specific availability.

  • Spanish- and Portuguese-aware routing

    The evaluation direction includes Spanish, Portuguese and regional variants, so model choice can reflect the language your customers use.

  • Lower latency in the region

    Regional latency is a consideration when evaluating provider endpoints. Residency and local capacity depend on the selected provider and setup.

  • Privacy under local law

    Data-processing requirements are reviewed for each setup, including the needs of companies operating in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia.

  • Support in your language

    Discuss onboarding and support in Spanish, Portuguese or English with the Clara team.

One platform, two teams

Engineering ships faster. Finance finally sees the bill.

Stop managing providers. Start shipping.

  • One integration pattern for the providers and models enabled in your setup
  • OpenAI-compatible requests, with supported features confirmed during onboarding
  • Application-specific virtual keys instead of sharing provider credentials across every service
  • Compare model options and move traffic gradually, one workload at a time
  • Model, token and cost visibility without creating another spend spreadsheet
  • Explore retries, fallbacks and optimization policies as the product develops

Developers

Keep the SDK pattern your team knows

Configure your gateway URL, Clara key and an enabled model. Move one workload first and check its usage.

Integration pattern: use the gateway URL and enabled model provided during onboarding. The public landing page does not serve an inference API.

  • An OpenAI-compatible pattern for supported models and request features
  • Keep gateway configuration in environment variables, outside application code

Trust and control

Keep access deliberate and reporting clear

Know which credentials power a request and what the reporting represents.

  • Metadata for gateway reporting

    Gateway usage reporting records request metadata, such as model, token usage and cost, rather than prompt or response text.

  • Your provider accounts

    Bring your own provider keys. Your company manages the provider accounts and the credentials that connect them.

  • A demo with synthetic data

    The public demo uses synthetic data. It does not collect provider keys or send requests to AI providers.

FAQ

Before you get started

Can I use Clara Router today?

Clara Router is in beta. Explore the public demo, then contact us to discuss access and the scope available to your team.

Do we bring our own provider keys?

Yes. The product starts with your own provider accounts and keys. Clara virtual keys then give your applications scoped access through the router.

Is the endpoint OpenAI-compatible?

Yes, the product uses an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for supported models. Check the product integration guide for the models and request features enabled for your setup.

How is spend reported?

Current usage reporting shows model usage and costs in USD. Reporting by legal entity, country and functional currency is planned; the landing page shows a clearly marked preview.

Does the demo connect to the live product?

No. The public demo runs with synthetic examples and does not use your provider credentials or call AI providers. Simulator results illustrate assumptions rather than actual customer usage.
