# Introduction

> One API to access every AI model

Lumenfall is the fastest way to integrate AI into your application. Access text, image, and video models from every major provider through a single, OpenAI-compatible API.

Lumenfall is a unified gateway that routes your requests to the best available AI providers. Instead of managing multiple SDKs, credentials, and billing relationships, you get one consistent interface with automatic failover, smart routing, and usage-based pricing.

Integrating with AI providers traditionally means juggling different APIs, handling rate limits, and building fallback logic yourself. With Lumenfall, the platform handles routing, retries, and provider selection automatically, so you can focus on building your product.

You get everything required to add AI to your app - a familiar OpenAI-compatible API and transparent pricing. Lumenfall gets you from idea to production, fast.
