llm-gateway
A multi-provider LLM gateway — one OpenAI-compatible API in front of Groq, Gemini and OpenRouter, with auto-routing, caching, failover and a Next.js dashboard to monitor cost and usage.
luman
A retrieval-augmented generation engine over your own documents. Point it at a folder, ask questions, get answers that cite the exact passage they came from — and an honest "the documents do not say" when the evidence is missing.
