About Emby.dev

A personal note from the Emby team. We’re building a better way to access AI models—one that’s transparent, EU-first, and developer-focused. No surprise bills, no vendor lock-in, just reliable AI infrastructure that works.

​
Our Story

Emby.dev was born from frustration with the current state of AI model access. As developers ourselves, we experienced:
  • Unpredictable costs that made budgeting impossible
  • Vendor lock-in that limited our choices
  • Complex integrations that wasted valuable development time
  • Privacy concerns with data leaving the EU
  • Unreliable service during critical moments
We knew there had to be a better way.

​
Our Mission

Make AI accessible, predictable, and privacy-first for European developers. We believe that:
  • ✅ Pricing should be predictable - No surprise token bills or shifting limits
  • ✅ Privacy matters - Your data stays in the EU, and we never train on it
  • ✅ Developers deserve choice - Access multiple providers through one API
  • ✅ Simplicity wins - Integration should take minutes, not days
  • ✅ Compliance is essential - ISO27001, NEN7510, and GDPR from day one

​
How We’re Different

We’re not just another AI API gateway. We’re building infrastructure that puts developers first:

​
🔒 Privacy-First Architecture

  • EU-hosted infrastructure on ISO27001 & NEN7510 certified servers
  • No prompt storage - We don’t keep your API requests or responses
  • No training on your data - Your code and prompts remain private
  • GDPR compliant - Full data sovereignty and user rights

​
💰 Predictable Pricing

  • Flat per-developer pricing - No token counting, no surprise bills
  • Unlimited usage - Fair usage limits based on your plan
  • No hidden fees - What you see is what you pay
  • Cancel anytime - No long-term contracts required

​
⚡ Developer Experience

  • Drop-in compatibility - Works with Cursor, Kilo Code, and other tools
  • OpenAI & Anthropic APIs - Use familiar interfaces
  • Fast EU routing - Low latency from European data centers
  • One API key - Access all models through a single endpoint

​
🌍 European Values

  • Data sovereignty - All data processed in the EU
  • Transparent operations - Clear pricing, clear policies
  • Sustainable infrastructure - Efficient, green hosting
  • Local support - European team, European timezone
