ProAgent Token Saver
A middleware that analyzes AI agent prompts in real time, caches common responses, and rechunks context to minimize token usage, preventing bill shock for devs who burned through thousands of tokens unnecessarily.
Target Audience
Solo developers bootstrapping AI agent projects (building with LangChain, AutoGPT) who have no enterprise budget and were shocked by sudden API bills after experimenting with agent loops.
Why Now
Dev.to confession 'I burned through thousands of AI tokens. Then a friend did it for free' went viral, and the rise of agentic harnesses (Dev.to article asking what an 'agentic harness' is) signals many are building unoptimized agents. Product Hunt’s Auriko (trading desk for LLM calls) validates market but focuses on cost optimization at scale, not caching for small devs.
