The Story Behind the Project

The idea behind this project started with a personal problem. I needed to deploy 9Router for my own use, but I didn't have a VPS to host it.

While exploring the 9Router GitHub repository, I came across several open issues where other developers were experiencing similar problems. It turned out that I wasn't the only one looking for a more accessible deployment solution.

Initially, I tried forking 9Router and modifying its codebase. However, the changes required were much more significant than expected. Several dependencies were incompatible with the target environment, making the migration increasingly complicated.

I then explored different approaches, including converting Next.js from a dynamic application into a static one.

But another challenge emerged: Cloudflare Workers' free plan has a 5 MB limit for individual projects. This creates another barrier for developers who want to build and deploy applications without spending money on infrastructure.

That made me rethink the entire approach.

Instead of simply adapting an existing router to fit limited infrastructure, I wanted to build something new: an AI Router that takes full advantage of genuinely free infrastructure.

The vision is simple: AI routing without requiring a VPS, local Node.js router, self-hosted infrastructure, or tunneling services.

I want developers, especially those with limited budgets, to have access to their own AI routing infrastructure without worrying about server costs or complicated deployment processes.

This project is my attempt to make that vision a reality.

No VPS. No Self-Hosting. No Tunneling. Just Free AI Routing.
