About

What is plano?

Plano is an AI-native proxy and data plane designed to simplify the development and deployment of agentic applications. It centralizes critical infrastructure concerns such as agent routing and orchestration, rich agentic signals for continuous improvement, guardrail filters for safety and moderation, and smart LLM routing APIs for model agility. By moving this 'hidden middleware' into a unified, out-of-process dataplane, Plano decouples developers from brittle framework abstractions, allowing them to use any language or AI framework and deliver agents faster to production. It provides low-latency orchestration, model agility through semantic routing, zero-code capture of agentic signals and OpenTelemetry traces, and consistent moderation and memory hooks via Filter Chains.

Best used for

Ideal for developers who need to build and deploy agentic applications with robust orchestration, safety, and observability. Especially valuable for centralizing agent routing, implementing guardrails, and achieving model agility without modifying core application logic.

FAQs

How does Plano handle LLM routing?

Plano provides smart LLM routing APIs, allowing routing by model name, alias (semantic names), or automatically via preferences. It uses purpose-built, lightweight LLMs for routing, offering production-grade performance at lower cost and latency compared to heavyweight frameworks.

What kind of observability features does Plano offer?

Plano offers zero-code capture of Agentic Signals™ and automatically generates OpenTelemetry traces and metrics across every agent. This provides end-to-end visibility into agent performance and interactions without requiring manual instrumentation.

Can Plano be used with any AI framework or language?

Yes, Plano is designed to be framework-agnostic. Your agents are simple HTTP servers implementing the OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint, allowing you to use any language or AI framework for your agent code.

Is Plano suitable for production environments?

Plano is built for production, centralizing concerns like routing, guardrails, and observability. While free hosted LLMs are available for development, for scaling and running in production, you can run LLMs locally or contact them for API keys.
