# Welcome

> The Prisma AIRS AI Gateway is a comprehensive platform designed to streamline and enhance AI integration for developers and organisations. It serves as a unified interface for interacting with over 3,000 AI models, offering advanced tools for control, visibility, and security in your Generative AI apps.

It takes 2 mins to integrate and with that, it starts monitoring all of your LLM requests and makes your app resilient, secure, performant, and more accurate at the same time.

### Integrate in 3 Lines of Code

```sh REST API theme={"system"}
curl https://aigw.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "@openai/gpt-4o",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "system",
        "content": "You are a helpful assistant."
      },
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hello!"
      }
    ]
  }'
```

```py OpenAI Python SDK theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://aigw.portkey.ai/v1"
)

chat_complete = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="@openai/gpt-4o",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
    ]
)
print(chat_complete.choices[0].message.content)
```

```js OpenAI NodeJS SDK theme={"system"}
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
  baseURL: 'https://aigw.portkey.ai/v1'
});

async function createChatCompletion() {
  const chat_complete = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: "@openai/gpt-4o",
    messages: [
      { role: "system", content: "You are a helpful assistant." },
      { role: "user", content: "Hello!" }
    ]
  });
  console.log(chat_complete.choices[0].message.content);
}

createChatCompletion();
```

### FAQs

> **Will the AI Gateway increase the latency of my API requests?**
>
> Our benchmarks estimate a total latency addition between 20-40ms compared to direct API calls. This slight increase is often offset by the benefits of our caching and routing optimizations.

> **Is my data secure?**
>
> All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption, and the gateway follows best practices for service security, data storage, and retrieval.

> **Will the AI Gateway scale if my app explodes?**
>
> The gateway is built on scalable infrastructure and can handle millions of requests per minute with very high concurrency. Its scaling capabilities accommodate sudden spikes in traffic without performance degradation.

> **Does the AI Gateway impose timeouts on requests?**
>
> No explicit timeout is imposed on requests. While the gateway does not time out requests on our end, we recommend implementing client-side timeouts appropriate for your use case to handle potential network issues or upstream API delays.

> **Do you support SSO?**
>
> Yes! We support SSO with any custom OIDC provider.
