Many teams connecting LLMs to external tools eventually encounter the same architectural issue: as more tools and agents are added, the integration pattern becomes an N×M mesh of direct connections. Each agent implements its own auth, retries, rate limiting, and logging; each tool needs credentials distributed to multiple places and observability becomes fragmented. We built LLM gateway with this goal to provide a single place to manage authentication, authorization, routing, and observability for MCP servers, with a path toward a more general agent-gateway architecture in the future. The…

Activepieces▲212We observed two main points in the AI automation industry that led us to these decisions: 1. *Compute is so much cheaper now compared to 15 years ago. Why are users still paying like it’s 2010?* So, we made tasks/runs unlimited on all our paid cloud plans. We still have an open-source, self-hosted version, but for cloud users, they will now pay for premium features and have the freedom to use them as much as they want. 1. *Building a good AI agent is a knowledge transfer task, so everyone should be able to build their own agents.* If every time I need to automate something or build an…

We built a protocol that gives AI agents an address, plus discovery/trust/payments between agents. Agents install it themselves with one line (see on pilotprotocol.network) - about 250k have, exchanging ~2B packets/day, mostly without their owners’ knowledge. The interesting part for HN is probably the App Store model: publishers list tools, and agents autonomously discover and install them (30k installs in the first two weeks). Happy to answer anything about the architecture, trust model, or the weird stuff agents do on the network.
