AI Task Router — Auto-Route Prompts by Complexity (Local/Cloud)

Regex-based routing sends simple tasks to local AI, medium to mid-tier, complex to premium — saving 60%+ on API costs.

Automatically routes prompts to the cheapest model that can handle them.

How It Works

Pattern matching classifies tasks into tiers:

Task Type	Example	Routed To	Cost
Simple	"hi", "thanks", "what time is it"	Local (Ollama)	$0
Moderate	"write an email", "analyze this"	Mid-tier (Sonnet)	$
Complex	"debug this codebase", "write a chapter"	Premium (Opus)	$$$

Usage

const { TaskRouter } = require('./src/task-router');

const router = new TaskRouter({
  defaultModel: 'local',
  escalationModel: 'sonnet',
  heavyModel: 'opus'
});

const result = router.route('analyze the sales data from Q3');
// { model: 'sonnet', reason: 'Analysis task', confidence: 0.8 }

Custom Rules

Add your own routing patterns:

router.addRule({
  name: 'code-review',
  pattern: /\b(review|refactor|debug|optimize)\b.*\b(code|function|class)\b/i,
  model: 'opus',
  reason: 'Code review needs deep reasoning'
});

Cost Savings

Typical usage pattern routes ~70% of tasks to free local models, ~25% to mid-tier, and ~5% to premium. With Opus at $15/M tokens vs Ollama at $0, this saves 60-80% on API costs.
