smista.ai

What is smista.ai?

smista.ai is a local-first agent and CLI that routes each phase of an AI workflow to the most suitable model using deterministic, configurable policies.

Most developers no longer rely on a single model or a single provider. Switching between CLIs, web apps and providers — copying context around and remembering which model to use for each task — is slow and error-prone. smista.ai keeps one coherent workflow while letting different models handle different phases.

Its main differentiator is deterministic multi-model routing: routing never depends on an LLM’s judgment, and every decision is explainable.

Core idea

You configure how work should be routed, for example:

• Planning to the strongest reasoning model
• Simple edits to a local model
• Code review to a reliable coding model
• Sensitive files to a local-only model

smista.ai applies these rules consistently and explains every routing decision through a trace.

Components

• smista-cli — the smista command-line interface for developers.
• smista-router — the routing and orchestration service exposing a local HTTP JSON API.
• smista-core — the shared internal runtime and domain types.
• @smista-ai/sdk — a TypeScript SDK for building clients on top of the router.
