What is Manifest?

Manifest is a smart model router for Personal AI Agents like OpenClaw or Hermes. It sits between your agent and your LLM providers, scores each request, and routes it to the cheapest model that can handle it. Simple questions go to fast, cheap models. Hard problems go to expensive ones. You save money without thinking about it.

• Route requests to the right model: Cut costs up to 70%
• Automatic fallbacks: If a model fails, the next one picks up
• Set limits: Don't exceed your budget

Quick start

Cloud version

Go to app.manifest.build and follow the guide.

Self-hosted (Docker)

Manifest ships as a Docker image. One command:

bash  Docker is the only supported distribution. The legacy `manifest` npm package is deprecated and no longer published.

## How it works

Every request to `manifest/auto` goes through a 23-dimension scoring algorithm (runs in under 2ms). The scorer picks a tier (simple, standard, complex, or reasoning) and routes to the best model in that tier from your connected providers.

All routing data (tokens, costs, model, duration) is recorded automatically. You see it in the dashboard. No extra setup.
