A lightweight web tool that helps solo developers and indie hackers monitor and optimize their AI API token usage, reducing costs by analyzing inefficiencies in prompts and model calls. It targets the growing number of developers building AI-powered apps who are burdened by unpredictable and high API bills.
目标用户
Solo developers and indie hackers who build AI-powered applications (e.g., chatbots, content generators, copilots) and spend $50-$500 monthly on AI API costs from providers like OpenAI or Anthropic.
核心差异点
Focuses on individual developers with simple, actionable insights tailored to their scale, unlike enterprise tools that are complex and overpriced. It emphasizes quick, easy optimizations without requiring deep technical expertise.
解决方案
Integrate with AI API billing endpoints via OAuth to fetch usage data. Provide a dashboard for real-time token tracking, cost breakdowns by model and prompt. Use AI to analyze prompt patterns and suggest optimizations (e.g., shorter prompts, model switching). Offer cost projection tools based on historical usage. Step-by-step: 1) User connects API keys. 2) Tool pulls usage data. 3) Dashboard displays insights and suggestions. 4) User implements suggestions and tracks savings.
