70% of agentic steps are mechanical — file reads, shell commands, test runs. mesh-router sends them to local models at ~$0. Reserves Claude/GPT for reasoning. Cut your agentic API bill by 70%+.
mesh-router wraps your existing agentic workflow. Each tool call is classified before dispatch. Mechanical tasks never leave your machine.
