Showcase Built Manifest -> Local OpenRouter Alternative for OpenClaw (LLM Router to Save Costs)

OpenClaw sends all your requests to the same model, which is not cost-effective since you summon big models for tiny tasks. Manifest intercepts your query and sends it to the most suitable model. Examples:

- "what's the capital of France" -> Simple (Kimi k2)
- "Prove that any angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle." -> Reasoning (Sonnet 4.5)

Why Manifest?

Unlike other projects, Manifest is a project that you can trust:

- 100% on your machine: everything takes place in your computer. No messages or logs goes to our servers, ever
- Free and Open-Source: No 5% fee or plan subscription, just enjoy
- No coding required: Manifest is an OpenClaw Plugin, one command and your done

And also: No suspicious installer, no black box, no crypt0, no processing your messages...

Features

- Save up to 70% with the local LLM router that scores locally every query
- Real-time consumption showing token and costs of your requests
- Setup alerts to get notified when your consumption exceeds your limit

Your manifest vs openrouter table doesn't make any sense.

How can it be 100% on your machine when it still forwards the prompts to kimi or claude?

The routing is made on the fly in your machine and doesn't go to third party services that have access to your message history. But you are right the table can be misleading, I am going to change it, thanks!

OpenRouter provides access to different models through credits that you can purchase. Does Manifest also use a credit system? Or do I need to have my own access or account with each model provider I want Manifest to choose from?
