For example, use it to:\n\n**Triage support requests:** Detect a refund request and route it to the billing team.\n\n**Route agent work:** Choose which tool or workflow should handle a request.\n\n**Check guardrails:** Flag a request or response for review when it may violate a policy.\n\n**Score against a rubric:** Rate a ticket's urgency or an answer's quality on a defined scale.\n\nYou can call Laya through the [AI SDK evaluation API](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/modalities/evaluation), the [native HTTP API](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/modalities/evaluation#http-api), or the [TypeSafe-compatible API](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/sdks-and-apis/typesafe) with `convaiinnovations/laya` or `convaiinnovations/laya-free`:\n\nThrough October 31, 2026, both `convaiinnovations/laya` and `convaiinnovations/laya-free` are free when served by [Boundless](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/providers/boundless).
