Introducing the Development Console

We are excited to introduce the Switchboard Development Console, a new way for enterprises, teams, and developers to interact with intelligent prompt routing at scale. The console brings together analytics, cost visibility, usage logging, and team management in one place, making it easier than ever to integrate Switchboard into products and workflows with clarity and control.

A Central Hub for Developers and Teams

The Development Console acts as the central control point for Switchboard. Rather than being restricted to a chat interface, engineering teams can connect directly through our API and manage routing, budgets, and access policies with ease. This gives businesses flexibility to embed our technology wherever it is needed.

Analytics and Cost Insights

With real-time analytics, leaders and developers can see exactly how models are being used, which teams are consuming resources, and where spend is going. Cost and spend analysis ensures budgets remain under control while helping organisations make informed decisions about usage.

Usage Logging and Transparency

Every interaction is tracked with detailed logs that make it simple to debug, audit, and improve performance. Teams can inspect requests, review model choices, and export data for compliance, giving them the visibility they need for enterprise-level operations.

Team Management and Governance

The console introduces robust team features including user roles, permissions, and billing limits. This ensures that managers can set boundaries while developers have the freedom to build. It brings governance and collaboration together without unnecessary friction.

Access to 40+ Models with Smart Routing

Switchboard connects to more than 40 models through a single API. Our smart router analyses prompts and selects the most effective model for the task, whether it is summarisation, code generation, or creative writing. Teams benefit from both variety and confidence in model selection.

Built for Products, Not Just Chat

We believe AI routing should not be limited to chat. The console has been designed to make it simple to integrate Switchboard into products, workflows, and services. Developers gain full control while businesses can scale features with confidence.

Reliable and Cost-Effective

Switchboard provides high reliability while running more cost-effectively than other open routing services. This combination makes it a strong choice for teams that want to scale quickly without overspending.

Documentation and Developer Experience

To support the console, we have created comprehensive documentation that removes common pain points. Clear onboarding, detailed examples, and straightforward integration steps make it easy to move from testing to production without delays.

Why This Matters

The Development Console gives enterprises, developers, and managers the ability to control usage, track costs, and integrate the best models with minimal effort. It brings speed, reliability, and governance into one tool, helping businesses unlock the full value of AI-driven features.

The Development Console is live today and available to all Switchboard users. Visit our documentation to get started and bring intelligent prompt routing into your products and workflows.
