Cost-Smart AI

“Why did the AI bill jump, and who spent it?”

AI cost grows quietly as usage spreads, and it is one of the main reasons programs are cancelled. I made cost a design decision: one counted doorway, a right-sized model for each task, and no single vendor in control.

Watch the answerWhy does the AI bill keep climbing?See all six answers

How it works

The flow at a glance.

Request

From a person or a scheduled job

One doorway

Counts, caps and routes every call

Right-sized lane

Light work to low-cost models

Main model

Hard work, on a flat-fee plan

Independent backup

Answers if the main model cannot
