# Theriad

> Cost-aware AI workspace and routing layer that shows the route before an AI task runs.

Theriad lets people describe work in plain language instead of choosing a model first. It weighs capability, speed, and cost, then presents the proposed route before execution.

## Product

- [Theriad](https://theriad.ai/): Public landing page and product overview.

## Key capabilities

- Route work across free, lower-cost, and premium model tiers according to task needs.
- Show the selected model, reasoning, confidence, estimated cost, and fallback before a call runs.
- Keep projects, files, runs, and imported memory in the workspace context.
- Let users preview paid work or keep the route on free models by default.

## Public demo

The public comparison demo replays a stored multi-step job to illustrate how routing changes the cost curve. It does not call providers.
