-AI coding assistants are incredible. They're also expensive. Every prompt you send to Claude Code or Codex carries context, your files, your history, your instructions, and your token consumption is crazy.
-
-Edgee sits between your coding agent and the LLM APIs and compresses that context before it reaches the model. Same output. Fewer tokens. Lower bill.
+Edgee is a lightweight LLM gateway that sits between your application and AI providers. It gives you a single control point for routing, observability, and cost optimization, without changing your existing code.
 
+Think of it as an open-source alternative to LiteLLM or OpenRouter, written in Rust for speed and low resource usage, with a built-in token compression engine that reduces your AI costs automatically.

+## Why Edgee
+
+- **One gateway, any provider** — Unified API for Anthropic, OpenAI, and other LLM providers. Switch models without touching your app code.
+- **Token compression** — Edgee analyzes request context and strips redundancy before it reaches the model. Same output, fewer tokens, lower bill.
+- **Real-time observability** — See exactly how many tokens you're sending, how many you're saving, and what it costs.
+- **Rust-native** — Fast startup, minimal memory footprint, no runtime dependencies. Runs anywhere Docker runs.

 ## Quickstart
 
-### Launch Claude Code with token compression
+### Use with AI coding assistants
+
+Edgee can wrap your coding assistant and compress traffic automatically:
 
 ```bash
+# Claude Code
 edgee launch claude
+
+# Codex
+edgee launch codex
+
+# Opencode
+edgee launch opencode
 ```
 
-That's it. Edgee configures itself as a gateway and Claude Code routes through it automatically.
+### Use as a standalone gateway
 
-### Launch Codex with token compression
+Point any OpenAI-compatible client at Edgee:
 
 ```bash
-edgee launch codex
+# Start the gateway
+edgee serve
+
+# Your app talks to Edgee instead of the provider directly
+export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:1207/v1
 ```

-## What it does
+## Features
+
+### Token compression
+
+Edgee's compression engine analyzes tool outputs (file listings, git logs, build output, test results) and removes noise before they enter the LLM context. The compression is lossless from the model's perspective — responses are identical, but prompts are leaner.
 
-**Token compression** — Edgee analyzes your request context and removes redundancy before sending it upstream. It's lossless from the model's perspective: the response is identical, but the prompt is leaner.

-**Usage tracking** — See how many tokens you're sending, how many you're saving, and what it costs — in real time.
+Route requests across Anthropic, OpenAI, and other providers through a single endpoint. Switch models, load-balance, or failover without code changes.

RTK pioneered local tool-output compression for AI coding assistants, and we built on their work to bring the same optimizations to a gateway architecture.
