A single dashboard for developers and product teams to monitor their usage, costs, and API availability across all major LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) in real-time. It centralizes alerts, tracks rate limits, and provides a single pane of glass to prevent surprise bills and service disruptions.
目标用户
Solo developers and small teams (1-5 people) actively building production applications with two or more paid LLM APIs, who have experienced at least one service disruption or billing surprise.
核心差异点
Real-time, centralized visibility across ALL major providers to proactively prevent disruptions, unlike individual dashboards or billing pages that require manual checking.
解决方案
A web app where users securely add their LLM API keys. The backend polls each provider's status API and usage endpoints at a defined interval, normalizes the data, and presents a unified dashboard. It tracks: spend vs. budget, remaining rate-limit quota, and real-time API health. Core UI is a simple table/graph showing each service's status and a notification panel for alerts.
关联痛点
Unpredictable and restrictive API quotas/rate limits from major AI providers (e.g. Anthropic Claude) disrupting development workflows.Vendor lock-in and loss of control/context when dependent on a specific LLM provider hindering switching.
MVP 范围
Connect and monitor OpenAI (ChatGPT) and Anthropic Claude API usage & costs.
Display real-time status from official provider status pages.
Send email/Slack alerts when usage approaches a user-defined budget or when a provider's service is degraded/down.
