What is Runtype?
Runtype is an AI Product development platform for teams moving from working demos to production-ready AI Products. It gives you one place to build, test, deploy, and monitor AI Capabilities.
Core Capabilities
Runtype helps you go from idea to production:
Build AI workflows — Create multi-step Flows and Agents with prompts, API calls, transforms, and conditionals
Deploy through multiple Surfaces — Expose your Capabilities through chat widgets, REST APIs, MCP for AI IDEs, or Agent-to-Agent interfaces
Test and compare — Use Evals to compare models and prompts across datasets
Monitor and debug — Review execution logs, inspect failures, and improve reliability
Who uses Runtype?
Runtype is built for developers, Product teams, startups, and agencies building AI-powered experiences. If you are shipping AI into a Product, Runtype gives you the infrastructure to do it reliably.

Key concepts
Here is how the core concepts fit together:
What you build | Where it lives | How users reach it |
|---|---|---|
Flow, Agent | Product | Chat, API, MCP, A2A |
These terms show up throughout the platform:
Flows — Multi-step AI workflows built from prompts, API calls, and logic
Agents — Agentic workflows with tool use and multi-step reasoning
Products — Organizational containers that hold the AI Capabilities you deploy
Surfaces — Deployment channels that belong to a Product, such as chat widgets, REST APIs, MCP, and Agent-to-Agent
Capabilities — Flows or Agents attached to a Product and exposed through its Surfaces
Records — Structured data entries with JSON metadata that provide context during Flow execution
Tools — Extensions that Agents can call to take action or retrieve data
Evals — Evaluations that compare prompt and model performance

Platform keys and BYOK
Runtype provides Platform keys so you can start building without setting up provider accounts first. If you prefer to use your own provider credentials, you can set up BYOK in your account settings.
Platform keys let you try any supported model right away. You can always switch to your own keys later.
Next Steps
