Sentinel AI
The AI you can see, control, and keep in-country.
Your teams already run on OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini — offshore, unmetered, hard to govern. Sentinel puts every model behind one gateway inside Pakistan, with spend, controls and audit in one place.
The problem
Three problems every AI buyer hits
You can't see what AI costs you
Spend is exploding across teams and providers, billed offshore in dollars, with no idea what any customer, product or request actually cost.
Sentinel prices every request in PKR — what you paid, what you charged, the margin between — with a hard limit on every key.
Your data can't leave the country
Sovereignty is becoming law. Sensitive data has to stay in-country, and “trust us, it’s fine” is not an answer you can put in a contract.
Sentinel keeps it in-country by design, not by promise — sensitive traffic never crosses the border, and the defence build lets nothing leave at all.
Every provider is its own silo
A separate key, bill, format and dashboard for each model. Switching is a rewrite; governing across them is impossible.
Sentinel brings them together behind one key, one pipeline, one audit trail — sovereign by default.
Two doors
Two ways to buy this
For telcos & builders — sell it as your own
Buy AI wholesale, set your own retail price. Every request is priced and itemised in PKR — what you paid, what you charged, and the margin between — for each customer, every billing period.
No model lab to build. No billing system to run. Your brand on the screens your subscribers see. Start as a single developer with a key; grow into an operator with your own customers.
Open this door →For defence — prove it never left
Your AI runs in-country on hardware no one abroad can restrict, beyond the reach of export controls, and sensitive traffic stays there no matter what.
The Qila build goes further: it runs air-gapped, with no outbound traffic allowed — nothing can leave.
Open this door →One gateway
Both doors, one gateway
Telcos and defence buy opposite things. One buys a number it can bill; the other buys the certainty that nothing left. Both run on the same Sentinel Mesh — one pipeline, one audit trail, one in-country model. What changes is what is switched on, and what you are allowed to see.
The gateway
What the gateway does
Three APIs, one address
Mesh speaks the OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini formats through one governed pipeline. Point your existing app at sentinel.junaid.pk/v1 — your code works unchanged.
Routed, sovereign-first
One key picks the best model for the job — by cost, speed, or use case — with the in-country model always first and sensitive traffic kept there. The OpenRouter idea, rebuilt on sovereign ground.
Governed by default
Safety checks — blocked terms and personal-data redaction — run before any call. Every request is priced, tracked and recorded. Every key has a hard limit; none are uncapped.
Sovereign reasoning
The in-country model thinks before it answers — and Sentinel shows that reasoning alongside the reply. Deep answers, on infrastructure that stays in-country.
One engine
One engine, three ways to run it
Sentinel Mesh is the one engine — sign-in, spend tracking, safety checks, model routing, all three APIs. Choose how you run it.
- Reseller SaaS — the shared platform on our own in-country cloud, priced per use. Sovereign by default; outside providers are off unless you turn them on, request by request. This is where telcos, businesses and direct consumers come in. Reach it through the Playground (Try Sentinel, free and mobile-first), the Sentinel Platform developer console at
/app, or a white-label overlay under your own brand. - Mesh on-premise — the same full gateway, run on your own servers for your internal routing, on one flat annual licence. You choose which providers it uses; whether anything reaches the outside is your call.
- Sentinel Sovereign — Qila — the air-gapped defence build: it runs fully isolated, with no outbound traffic allowed — nothing can leave. In-country only, on one flat licence.
However you run it, you always see your own usage and Sentinel Watch — a licence changes how you pay, not what you can see.
