# IronLabs Docs

> Docs for both IronLabs products — Refinery (the routing platform) and Foundry (the chat).

IronLabs ships two products. Pick the one you're here for.

    **For developers.** The LLM routing platform — pre-trained and Custom Routers, prompt optimization, agent optimization, Node and Python SDKs, REST API.

## What's the difference?

* **Refinery** is the platform. You install an SDK, call the API, and IronLabs routes your prompts intelligently across providers — with Custom Routers trained on your data, prompt optimization, and agent optimization built in.
* **Foundry** is the product on top of that platform. You open a chat, type, get a routed reply, and the model decision is shown right under the answer.

If you're shipping an app that talks to LLMs → **Refinery**.<br />
If you want a smart chat to use → **Foundry**.
