TICON AI is a prepaid gateway for AI models. You top up a wallet in Bangladeshi taka, create an API key, and send requests to OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible endpoints. Each request is metered by tokens and its cost is debited from your wallet balance, so there is no monthly invoice and no card on file that we can charge.

How a request flows

Your code, one gateway, the models in the catalog

Point the SDK you already use at the gateway. It checks your key, counts the tokens of each request and debits the cost from your BDT wallet.

Your code

  • OpenAI SDK
  • Anthropic SDK
  • curl or any HTTP client

Features

What you get

A small, plain set of features for calling models and paying for them locally.

OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible

Use chat completions or messages with the SDK you already have. Point it at the gateway base URL and use your key.

Prepaid BDT wallet

Load balance in taka before you use it. Requests are debited from the wallet, and they are declined when the balance is empty.

Top up through EPS

Pay through the EPS payment gateway. The payment methods you see depend on EPS and on your bank or wallet.

Transparent per-token pricing

Every public model lists its input, cached-input and output price per 1 million tokens in taka on the pricing page.

Keys, limits and usage

Create a key for each project, limit which models a key can call, and review your usage in the dashboard.

Bengali, English and Korean

The marketing site and the dashboard are available in all three languages.

Get started

How it works

Three steps from sign-up to your first response.

  1. Top up

    Add balance in BDT through EPS. The amount appears in your wallet after the payment is confirmed.

  2. Create a key

    Create an API key in the dashboard. Keys begin with sk-aip-. The full key is shown once, so store it safely.

  3. Call the API

    Send requests to the gateway base URL with your key. Tokens are counted for each request and debited from your wallet.

For developers

Works with the SDK you already use

Set the base URL and your key. The model field takes an id from the models page.

Base URL

https://api.ticonai.com/v1

sk-aip- is a placeholder. Use a key from your own dashboard, and never commit it to source control.

MODEL_ID is a placeholder for a model id listed on the models page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about billing, payments and the API.

How does prepaid billing work?

You add money to a BDT wallet first. When you call the API, the gateway counts the input and output tokens of each request and debits the cost from your balance. There is no invoice at the end of the month. When the balance reaches zero, requests are declined until you top up again.

How much does a request cost?

The cost depends on the model and on how many tokens you send and receive. Each model has a price per 1 million input tokens, cached input tokens and output tokens, shown in taka on the pricing page. The wallet is debited using the price that applied when the request ran.

Which API formats are supported?

The gateway accepts OpenAI-style chat completions at /v1/chat/completions and Anthropic-style messages at /v1/messages, and it lists models at /v1/models. You authenticate with a key from your dashboard. Which models you can call depends on the catalog and on any model limits set on your key.

How do I pay?

Top-ups are made in BDT through EPS. You choose an amount, complete the payment on the EPS page, and the balance is added once the payment is confirmed. Which cards or mobile wallets appear depends on EPS and on your bank or wallet, not on this site.

Can I get a refund on unused balance?

Refund terms are defined in the refund policy, which is still being finalized and is not published yet. Until it is, do not assume that unused balance is refundable. If you have a question about a specific payment, contact support before you top up.
