OpenAI Chat Proxy — AI Workspace Template for Developer Tools
Proxy
Proxy to OpenAI-compatible APIs with built-in logging, rate limiting, content filtering, and usage tracking.
Template OpenAI Chat Proxy bundles a ready-to-deploy workspace for developer tools workflows. Install in one click from the Aerostack dashboard or via aerostack init --template=openai-chat-proxy.
What It Does
A transparent proxy layer between your application and OpenAI-compatible APIs. Every request is logged, rate-limited, filtered, and tracked — without changing your existing OpenAI integration. Just swap the base URL and get observability, safety, and cost control instantly.
How It Works
- Point your OpenAI SDK at your Aerostack proxy URL instead of api.openai.com
- Every request passes through your proxy with automatic logging, rate limiting, and content filtering
- The AI processes the request using your configured model and knowledge base
- Response returned with usage metrics tracked for billing and analytics
Use Cases
- Teams sharing one API key — add per-user rate limits and usage tracking without building it yourself
- Production applications that need request logging and audit trails for AI calls
- Content safety — add a filtering layer that blocks harmful prompts before they hit the model
- Cost monitoring — track usage per user, per feature, per team with automatic dashboards
Drop-In Replacement
If your app uses the OpenAI SDK, migration is one line — change the base URL. Your existing code, prompts, and model selections all work unchanged. The proxy is fully compatible with the OpenAI Chat Completions API format.
