Reduce your AI costs
What is Manifest?
Manifest is a smart model router for agents and AI applications that redirects each query to the right model, saving up to 70% in AI costs.
- 🔀 Routing based on complexity, specificity and custom HTTP headers
- 🎛️ Mix your providers: API keys, Subscriptions, Local models, Custom providers
- 📊 Track every single dollar, setup notifications and limits
- 🚑 Fallback on different models when queries fails
Quick start
Cloud version
Go to app.manifest.build and follow the guide.
Self-hosted
Manifest ships as a Docker image. One command:
bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mnfst/manifest/main/docker/install.sh)
Open http://localhost:2099 and sign up — the first account you create becomes the admin. Full self-hosting guide: docker/DOCKER_README.md.
The legacy
manifestnpm package is deprecated and no longer published.
Providers
Manifest connects to 300+ models across 18 providers plus any custom provider (OpenAI/Anthropic compatible). Bring your own API key, reuse a paid subscription you already have, or run models locally — all routed through
the same /auto endpoint.
