Ramp launches Router AI service for business model access

Ramp launched a new AI tool Thursday that lets businesses access multiple large language models through a single API, pushing the corporate spend platform deeper into the fast-growing AI inference market.

Dubbed Router, the service also ties AI model selection and usage more closely to Ramp’s existing tools for tracking and managing AI spending.

TechCrunch reported that the product resembles OpenRouter, though Ramp currently supports fewer models.

The company is positioning Router as both a new AI revenue opportunity and a way to deepen relationships with existing customers through integrated monitoring and spend controls.

Router’s model menu includes options from OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Moonshot, Minimax, Nvidia, xAI and Z.ai.

Ramp also offers multiple routing approaches, including settings that steer traffic toward certain provider tiers and another that selects models based on up to three user-chosen benchmarks.

The product includes tools designed to lower experimentation costs by routing complex requests to more expensive models while handling simpler tasks with cheaper alternatives.

A dashboard provides visibility into usage and performance, including token consumption, costs, response times and fallback behavior.

Ramp’s default data policy records prompts, responses, and tool calls for up to a year unless customers opt out.

The company said it will remove "personally identifiable information before using that content to improve the product." Router is available only in the U.S. at launch and will be free to use through the rest of 2026, though customers still cover the underlying model-compute charges.

Ramp also attached a $26 credit as part of the rollout, but hasn’t disclosed what it plans to charge in 2027.

In June, the New York-based fintech startup closed its $750 million Series F funding round, putting the company’s valuation at $44 billion.

The new capital would be used to further expand its AI-focused product development for customers, the company said at the time.

Glyman founded Ramp in 2019 with Karim Atiyeh and Gene Lee.

The company provides an all-in-one spend management and corporate card platform.

By leveraging AI and automation, Ramp’s software is designed to help businesses handle corporate credit cards, control expenses and accounting.
