What is Console
Cognipeer Console is an open-source, self-hosted AI control plane. It puts one OpenAI-compatible endpoint in front of every model provider you use, grounds answers in your own data, keeps traffic governed, and shows what happened and what it cost. This page is the map of the guide, which is organised by task.
What Console does
- Routes every model call. One OpenAI-compatible endpoint in front of hosted providers and your own GPU fleet, with dynamic routing, fallbacks, and per-tenant budgets.
- Grounds answers in your data. A knowledge engine with crawling, chunking, vector stores, and reranking, so retrieval is part of the control plane rather than bolted onto each app.
- Keeps it governed. Guardrails and PII policies on the way in and out, agent tracing for what actually happened, and spend attribution for what it cost.
