Plano

Plano is an AI-native proxy and data plane that manages LLM routing, agent orchestration, observability, and guardrails for agentic applications.

Plano provides a protocol-native fabric to handle the plumbing work required for building and deploying AI agents. It functions as an AI-native sidecar, enabling developers to offload prompt processing, guardrails, and model routing while maintaining focus on agent core logic. The platform supports observability, context engineering, and centralized security policies, allowing engineering teams to standardize access controls across LLMs. It allows teams to work with any language or AI framework to manage multi-agent systems and reinforcement learning loops. It supports on-premises deployment for environments requiring strict data control.
