About Instabridge
Connectivity for everyone, in 190+ countries.
Instabridge grew from a community WiFi-sharing app into a global eSIM and mobile-data platform, with 200M+ downloads and users across 190+ countries. At that scale, every product decision is an infrastructure decision.
The Challenge
An AI agent that takes real actions, in front of millions.
Instabridge wanted AI to be the first thing users meet in the app: a proactive agent that acts on their behalf, not a chatbot in the corner. At their scale the agent had to stay reliable across very different markets and networks, flex its economics per market, and never depend on a single model provider.
The Solution
Every model behind one gateway, built for production.
Instabridge builds its agent on Opper, routing every model through a single EU-hosted gateway and tuning it with the control plane. They get the reliability, model freedom, and oversight a production agent needs at this scale, without building any of it in-house.
- Automatic fallback across providers, so the agent stays responsive even when a model degrades.
- Any model, swappable anytime, with no provider lock-in and no integration rewrite.
- EU-hosted and GDPR-compliant by default, with full control over data.
- Tracing on every call, so the team can see, debug, and trust what the agent does.

- Higher engagement from an AI-first experience users reach for first.
- Running across the portfolio, powering the agent in both Instabridge and Nova Launcher, one of Android's most popular launchers.
