Zylon API Gateway
The governed extensibility layer for private enterprise AI
What the API Gateway Enables
Secure API infrastructure for private, on-premise enterprise AI
Zylon is an enterprise AI platform delivering private generative AI and on-premise AI software for regulated industries, enabling secure deployment inside enterprise infrastructure without external cloud dependencies. This is everything that's inside of Zylon's API Gateway:
Custom AI Agents
Build domain-specific AI agents powered by your private LLMs, internal knowledge bases, and governed tools. Deploy production-grade agents that operate fully on-premise with controlled model access, secure data retrieval, and multi-step reasoning. Designed for regulated industries where accuracy, attribution, and auditability are mandatory, not optional. Compliant with SOC 2, GLBA, FINRA, and NCUA requirements.
Workflow Automation
Trigger AI from internal systems and run multi-step automation with enforced policies, async processing, and full observability — securely inside your infrastructure.
Internal Integrations
Connect CRMs, databases, and enterprise systems without moving data to the cloud. Governed access ensures AI operates securely within your existing infrastructure.
Governed API Access
Every request inherits authentication, authorization, model access controls, guardrails, rate limits, and full audit logging. Token-scoped permissions ensure developers can build freely within defined boundaries, while security teams maintain complete visibility and compliance alignment across all AI activity.
Enterprise AI Governance, Enforced Automatically
Unlike direct integrations with cloud APIs like OpenAI or local inference tools like Ollama, every request through Zylon’s API Gateway is policy-controlled.
Authentication & role-based authorization
Model access controls
Guardrails and input/output inspection
Rate limiting and usage controls
Knowledge base access restrictions
Full audit logging with attribution
Result: Developers move fast. Security and compliance move with them.
How Token-Scoped Access Works
Private API Gateways for Private AI. Secure by default. No exceptions layer required.
Two API Levels
Two layers of governed API access for private, on-premise enterprise AI — from low-level AI capabilities to high-level workspace and administrative automation.
Low-Level API
Direct AI capabilities. OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints. Includes:
LLM inference (chat, streaming)
RAG operations (search + generation)
Embeddings
Data ingestion
Tool use & agent orchestration
MCP integrations
Use this to build:
Custom AI agents
AI-powered internal apps
Intelligent automation
Developer integrations
High-Level API
Workspace & administrative automation
Includes:
Organization and team management
Project automation
Knowledge base configuration
User permissions
Usage analytics
Use this to:
Automate onboarding
Build internal dashboards
Streamline administrative operations
OpenAI & Anthropic Compatible
Zylon follows API standards used by OpenAI and Anthropic
Switching from cloud to on-premise requires minimal code changes.
Change base URL + API key → your tools continue working.
What this means:
Existing tools and integrations work immediately
Developers use familiar API patterns
No learning curve for teams already using cloud AI
Easy migration from cloud to on-premise
Example: Change the base URL and API key, and tools like Continue, Cursor, LangChain, and custom applications work with Zylon.
Built-In AI Tools
Zylon supports the leading open LLM ecosystems out of the box.
Web Search
Real-time internet search for current information. Opt-in capability for non-air-gapped deployments.
CSV Numeric Analysis
Parse and analyze structured data. Generate insights from spreadsheets and tabular data automatically.
Chart Generation
Create visualizations from data. Automatically generate charts and graphs in responses.
Database Querying
Semantic query-to-SQL translation. Ask questions in natural language, execute SQL queries, and get results, all through the API.
Bring Your Own Tools
Extend Zylon with custom tools via MCP. Build specialized capabilities for your domain and make them available to all Zylon users.
Unlimited usage. No Per-Token Pricing
You optimize for capability, not token consumption.
Unlike cloud AI, where costs rise with reasoning depth and innovation is constrained by token pricing, Zylon enables complex, multi-step agents with predictable infrastructure-based costs, so teams optimize for capability, not token consumption.
n8n: Visual AI Automation
n8n turns Zylon into a private AI automation engine.
Visual no-code workflows

Monitoring & Governance
Enterprise-grade monitoring, audit logging, and policy enforcement for private, on-premise AI deployments in regulated industries.
Built-In Observability
Track:
API volume and latency
Model usage distribution
Tool invocation metrics
Error rates
Gateway-level analytics
Sys Admin Dashboard
Centralized web interface for:
Gateway configuration
Token creation & revocation
Policy enforcement
Usage tracking
Audit export
Complete Audit Trails
Every API request captures:
Request & response content

Compliance-ready logging for regulated industries.
Enterprise Security Controls
Private API Gateways for Private AI. Secure by default. No exceptions layer required.
Connect to Your Existing Systems
Integrate directly with:
File systems (S3, NFS, SMB)
SharePoint, Confluence, Google Drive
PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server
Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics
Industry systems (banking cores, healthcare EMRs, ERP systems)
Data stays in place. No cloud copies. No ETL duplication.
