AI

ACTIVATE AI brings your organization's AI usage under one governed gateway. Connect your own AI providers — hosted services or models running on your own infrastructure — and ACTIVATE manages access to them through a built-in chat workspace, API keys, and token-level usage tracking.

Chat

Chat is a full-featured chat interface for interacting with large language models directly within the platform. You can have conversations with AI models, attach files for context, branch conversations to explore different approaches, and share conversations with teammates.

pw code

pw code is an AI coding agent that runs in your terminal. It reads and edits files, runs commands, and works through multi-step tasks, with sessions stored locally on your machine. See pw code for install, quick start, and features.

The AI Gateway

The AI gateway is how ACTIVATE manages access to your providers. Every request, whether it comes from Chat, pw code, or an external tool authenticating with an AI key, goes through the platform's OpenAI-compatible API. There, access is checked and the request is sent to the provider with credentials that stay in ACTIVATE. For organization providers, token usage is also metered against a budget allocation.

Diagram: Chat, pw code and your own tools with an AI key call the OpenAI-compatible API in ACTIVATE. ACTIVATE authenticates the request, checks the aiprovider:use grant and enabled models, checks the allocation for organization providers, and applies the tool calling mode, then sends the request to a hosted provider with the provider key or through the cluster agent tunnel to a model server in a session. Token usage on organization providers is priced at the model rates and charged to the allocation.
