Switchyard

Switchyard 30-Second Overview

If you only have 30 seconds, remember these four lines:

1. Switchyard is not another AI app.
2. It is a shared provider runtime for AI apps.
3. It turns BYOK + Web/Login access into one service-first substrate that other AI products can call.
4. Today it ships a repo-native runtime, a read-only MCP descriptor, a runtime-diagnostics builder packet, starter packs, and truth-first public docs. npm, registry, marketplace, Docker, and broader publication are still later lanes.

One Sentence

Switchyard is the shared runtime pipe for AI apps, not another AI app.

The Problem It Solves

• teams keep rebuilding provider contracts
• auth/session/diagnostics are scattered across products
• real users often have subscriptions or web sessions, not just API keys
• runtime truth, starter paths, compat routes, and public claims drift apart

What It Can Honestly Claim Today

• shared provider runtime
• BYOK + Web/Login
• service-first runtime frontdoor
• partial thin compat
• partial read-only MCP surface
• runtime-diagnostics public skill packet
• copy-ready starter packs

What It Cannot Honestly Claim Yet

• full Codex parity
• full Claude Code parity
• full OpenClaw parity
• published npm/runtime package
• official registry or marketplace listing
• MCP execution brain
