Key differences from Keywords AI

1

LLMWise combines observability with action: orchestration modes let you compare, blend, and judge model outputs, while Keywords AI primarily focuses on logging and analytics.

2

LLMWise optimization doesn't just recommend — it acts. Auto-routing, failover, and replay testing let you implement improvements automatically.

3

LLMWise mesh routing provides automatic cross-provider failover with circuit breaker patterns that react to outages in real time, not after the fact.

How to migrate from Keywords AI

  1. 1Audit your Keywords AI setup: note which features you use (logging, analytics, proxy) and which models you route through.
  2. 2Sign up for LLMWise and generate an API key. LLMWise includes request logging and usage dashboards out of the box.
  3. 3Migrate your API calls to LLMWise. Enable optimization policies and failover routing to act on the insights LLMWise collects.

Common questions

Does LLMWise have the same observability features as Keywords AI?
LLMWise includes request logging, usage dashboards, and cost tracking. If you need advanced custom analytics, you may want additional tooling, but for most teams LLMWise's built-in observability is sufficient.
Can I use Keywords AI for logging and LLMWise for routing?
You could, but LLMWise includes logging and analytics. Using both adds latency and complexity. Most teams find LLMWise's built-in observability covers their needs.
How does pricing compare to Keywords AI?
Keywords AI charges based on log volume. LLMWise includes logging and analytics in the credit-based pricing — no separate observability bill.
