Summary

Arch is a proxy server designed as a modular edge and AI gateway for agentic apps Arch handles the pesky low-level work in building agentic apps — like applying guardrails, clarifying vague user input, routing prompts to the right agent, and unifying access to any LLM. It’s a language and framework friendly infrastructure layer designed to help you build and ship agentic apps faster. Quickstart • Demos • Build agentic apps with Arch • Route LLMs • Documentation • Contact Overview AI demos are easy to build. But past the thrill of a quick hack, you are left building, maintaining and scaling low-level plumbing code for agents that slows down AI innovation. For example: You want to build specialized agents, but get stuck building routing and handoff code. code. You want use new LLMs, but struggle to quickly and safely add LLMs without writing integration code. without writing integration code. You're bogged down with prompt engineering work to clarify user intent and validate inputs . . You're wasting cycles choosing and integrating code for observability instead of it happening transparently. With Arch, you can move faster by focusing on higher-level objectives in a language and framework agnostic way. Arch was built by the contributors of Envoy Proxy with the belief that: Prompts are nuanced and opaque user requests, which require the same capabilities as traditional HTTP requests including secure handling, intelligent routing, robust observability, and integration with backend (API) systems to improve speed and accuracy for common agentic scenarios – all outside core application logic.* Core Features: 🚦 Routing to Agents . Engineered with purpose-built LLMs for fast (<100ms) agent routing and hand-off scenarios . Engineered with purpose-built LLMs for fast (<100ms) agent routing and hand-off scenarios 🔗 Routing to LLMs : Unify access and routing to any LLM, including dynamic routing via preference policies. : Unify access and routing to any LLM, including dynamic ro...
