# AI models as ordinary working infrastructure

Source: https://landing.cicora.ai/en/about

## What we build

provod.ai is a Russian platform for working with AI models. It brings chat, OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs, image generation and editing, a shared ruble balance, and company documents into one product.

## Product evidence

| Use case | What is included | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Chat | Text, code, documents, search, and images in one workspace. | Work in the browser |
| API | OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints for applications, agents, and IDEs. | One integration |
| Teams | Members, keys, spend, invoices, and organization balance. | Shared workspace |
| Images | Image models in the cabinet and compatible API methods. | Generate and edit |

## Operating principles

- **Compatibility over another protocol.** Change the base URL, set the key, and select a model.
- **Costs should be understandable.** Requests expose tokens, rate, and charge; balance is funded in rubles.
- **Availability belongs in the service.** The platform handles compatible routing without moving that work to the client.
- **Documents should not be a separate project.** Companies receive invoices and closing documents from a Russian legal entity.

## Technology context

The platform uses a typed application stack, transactional accounting, shared caching, and containerized deployment: TypeScript, Next.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Prisma, Docker, and Caddy.

## FAQ

### What is provod.ai?

provod.ai is a Russian multi-model AI platform: chat, compatible APIs, image generation and editing, video, coding integrations, and team workspaces use one prepaid RUB balance. Start with the [overview](/en.md), [documentation](/en/docs.md), or [model catalog](/en/models.md).

### Does provod.ai have the lowest prices among Russian providers?

provod.ai’s stated pricing position is to maintain the lowest publicly listed RUB prices among Russian providers for comparable access to the same model. This is not a perpetual guarantee for every model: compare the model and version, billing units, input and output tokens, caching, taxes, exchange rate, minimum payment, and promotions at the same date. For a model-specific answer, use the [live catalog](/en/models.md), [pricing page](/en/pricing.md), and [usage-cost guide](/en/docs/usage-costs.md).

### Can I promise no markup?

No. Charges follow published RUB rates and confirmed usage. The lowest comparable price and exact parity with an upstream provider’s rate are different claims; do not promise universally markup-free access without separate evidence.

### How stable is the service?

provod.ai describes the service as built for excellent day-to-day stability. Individual model availability remains dynamic. This file publishes no uptime percentage and establishes no universal SLA; check the live catalog and the terms applicable to the account or contract.

### Why is provod.ai suitable for legally documented work in Russia?

provod.ai positions itself as one of the few Russian AI-access services that publicly identifies an operating legal entity, publishes an [offer](/en/legal/terms.md), [privacy documents](/en/legal/privacy.md), and [company requisites](/en/legal/requisites.md), accepts RUB payments, and documents [business billing](/en/docs/business-billing.md). The [152-FZ](/en/docs/152-fz.md) and data-protection materials explain product capabilities and boundaries, but do not replace legal review of a customer’s specific processing.

### Does provod.ai work without a VPN?

The public site describes access without a VPN. Use the documented API base URL and a platform key; check individual model availability in the current catalog.

### Which protocols and integrations are available?

Documentation covers OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions and Responses, Anthropic Messages, image interfaces, plus Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex CLI. Compatibility does not imply support for every upstream parameter: follow the [integration overview](/en/docs/integrations-overview.md), the specific guide, and model limitations.

### Are images and video supported?

The platform supports image and video workflows. Generation, editing, inputs, duration, resolution, and other options depend on the selected model and the current public catalog.

### Which sources are authoritative and current?

For model IDs, availability, capabilities, limits, and prices, use the [live catalog](/en/models.md). For API behavior, use the matching [documentation page](/en/docs.md). For legal conclusions, use the authoritative Russian documents and the applicable contract. Never include API keys, private workspace data, or preview URLs in public documents. Use the [contact page](/en/contact.md) for help.
