# About Speko

Company

Speko Group, Inc. builds the hosted Speko Router and the open customer-side Speko Gateway for real-time voice AI workloads.

## What we build

Speko Router is the hosted, provider-neutral data plane at[relay.speko.dev](https://relay.speko.dev). It exposes typed operations for model discovery, speech transcription, speech synthesis, and LLM responses. Teams can let Router choose an eligible route by latency, quality, cost, or a balanced objective, or pin a provider and model. Each response reports the selected route in structured metadata.

Speko Gateway is a different product boundary: an open customer-side runtime that runs beside LiveKit or Pipecat, keeps BYOK provider credentials in the customer process, and exposes one local streaming protocol across providers. Gateway can use provider-direct routes, Speko-managed routes, or both. Its public repository also owns the canonical wire contract consumed by the hosted Router.

## Who it is for

Router is for applications that want Speko to operate the managed STT, LLM, and TTS data plane. Gateway is for teams that own the conversation loop and want provider-direct streaming or local credential custody. The separate hosted Agents API at [api.speko.dev](https://api.speko.dev) owns agents, sessions, phone calls, and telephony. These surfaces are complementary, but they are not interchangeable.
