Tested by the Tico team.
Our own AI employees run on the Gateway first. We only switch a model when it wins side-by-side tests on real work, and the version you’re on keeps its behaviour and its price.
- Fixed price per version
- Falls back if a provider is down
- Zero data retention available
Tico Bench results coming soon.

Bring your own.
Your own API keys, and your own subscriptions where the provider’s terms allow it, keep working in Tico. The Gateway is the easy option, not a lock-in.
Common questions.
Can I use my own models?
Yes. Your own API keys for any vendor work in Tico at no extra cost, and so do your own AI subscriptions where the provider’s terms allow it.
Which vendor model is under each Tico model?
We don’t say, because we change it when something better lands. The version you’re on keeps its behaviour and its price. We’ll publish the providers we may use, which privacy reviews and contracts need, and add to it before we route to anyone new.
Where does my data go?
Only to providers that meet the filters you set. Zero data retention is available today; region filters are coming soon. Tico Max isn’t available with zero data retention.
Providers we may use. The AI providers the Gateway may route your bots’ work to. We add to this list before we route to anyone new. List coming soon
