Original: Three weeks before the enterprise contract, the voice agent wasnt operator-ready.

Short summary

Before production deployment, a wealth management firm's voice agent hit four critical operational failures—rate limits, missing audit logs, cost attribution gaps, and untracked prompt changes. The real challenge wasn't AI model quality but missing infrastructure: a gateway layer handling rate limiting, compliance logging, cost tracking, guardrails, and multi-provider failover. The post evaluates LiteLLM, Portkey, Helicone, Future AGI, and OpenRouter.

  • •Enterprise voice agent pilot failed on operational infrastructure, not model quality—four specific incidents in weeks 1-3
  • •Missing gateway layer: rate limiting per-tenant, cost attribution, guardrail enforcement, audit logging, and multi-provider failover
  • •Solution comparison: LiteLLM (self-hosted control), Portkey (managed guardrails), Helicone (FinOps), Future AGI (unified stack), OpenRouter (routing only)

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
