We're looking at a new system called OmniRoute today that allows you to code for free forever with AI. And I'm going to show you exactly how it works step by step. We just built this out, as you can see, so we said an animated star field on a canvas, actually built it out perfectly first time around, gives us a code, gives us a preview. And this is running through a free API. Now, the cool thing about this is basically you have one local endpoint, the routes, for example, Claude Code, Cursor, across 237 different providers, and 90 of them are free forever. Plus it also falls back when you run out of tokens. And there's token minimization systems built into this, reduce the amount of tokens used by 15 to 95 percent. And this means you can code for free forever with AI. Pretty insane. So this is a free open source project. It's called OmniRoute. It is a free AI gateway. Now, what this means essentially is that you never have to worry about stopping coding. You can connect every AI tool to 237 providers and you can reduce the amount of tokens you use each time you ramble this as well, which is pretty wild in itself. Now, this also runs in 42 different languages and it was super easy to set up. To get it set up, I mean, I've already plugged it into the Agent OS. We created a new tab called OmniRoute. And essentially, I just gave the GitHub to Claude. Claude set it up for us, plugged it into the Agent OS, as you can see right here, and it's ready to go. We can also save stuff that we've built and then we can come back to what we've built previously as well. Open those up, have a look at them in real time. Let's test it again here because it seems to work really nicely. And also we've got instructions here on how to install it. But literally, if you want to install it, it's really, really simple. So you just use this terminal command set up and then use this terminal command to point Claude Code to it. So what that means essentially is you can run OmniRoute with Claude Code, and that means Claude is free as well.
Pretty impressive in itself. So if we say, OK, you know, just build a to do list app as an example, we'll click on build and that will start routing through free providers. And then with those free providers, we can start getting outputs directly here as well. So this is something that I call the free coding engine. You know, I think a lot of people sort of run through the problem of like, you know, they're using Claude, they're using Cursor, they've got other coding tools on the side, and then the free tiers run out in the middle of a build. One provider goes down, the whole day stops without it, or you have to switch everything over and that takes time too. And so if you're looking like a free way to use all your tools without worrying about this, I mean, you can see the build here. It looks pretty good. You can just use OmniRoute instead. It's way simpler and way easier to use. And then if we want to save anything, we've actually created a custom build around this. So what this means essentially is like, we're using the power of OmniRoute, but we've got it inside this engine that helps you visualize and save the builds and everything else. And that's inside our Agent Operating System. The other cool thing that we can do with this because we built it in the Agent OS is like, we can plug it into our memory, we could plug it into Hermes, we could use it however we want. But the main thing here is like, it's pretty wild. Now in terms of the benefits of this, well, you don't hit limits, you save tokens, it's zero dollars, you got one endpoint, every tool works, and the quality is different as well. So how does this work? Well, it works in five layers. So you ask, OmniRoute picks and falls back, you got 93 providers and then you get the build. There's one door here. So every coding tool points at a single local URL. Then it uses a pool of 93 providers, it also fall back. So the reason for this is like, sometimes you hit a limit on a free coder and this way it just switches automatically.
It would use the amount of tokens you use and it runs locally with a local endpoint. You also might say, okay, well, free models, they're not that good, but actually you can see two different builds that we've done with this. So the to do list app and also this example as well. And it looks pretty good. I mean, let's test it again. The other thing that I was surprised by was how fast it is. So if we say, okay, build a landing page for an SEO agency, and it will start running in the background right there. Let's leave that on the side so we can see what it does in a second. Now, if you want to install it, you can code for free in about five minutes. You just use this command, then you can point Claude Code at it, or you can use it in one click inside our agent operating system inside the AirPoF boardroom. And also because it's so simple to set up, you don't need to be technical to use this. And so you've got one endpoint that can route to multiple different free providers. And then we've got the code back as well over here, which is pretty good. Also, what would be interesting here is if you could run it inside Hermes. If you use a custom endpoint, I wonder if you could run the model directly via Hermes locally. That might be something we look at as well. And then you could run Hermes locally with this setup as well. Bear in mind OmniRoute is not like a local API, but it's a local endpoint.
