Stored answers never cross between companies, and anything sensitive or one-of-a-kind skips this entirely.

Scope-aware caching

Avoid repeat provider calls with exact cache and optional policy-approved semantic matching.

We show you the savings before we change anything

You are not asked to trust a number in a sales deck. FrugalAI spends the first stretch changing nothing at all, just showing you what you would have saved. You decide when it graduates to the next step, and you can move it back any time.

01

Watch

Monitor mode

Nothing changes. Your apps behave exactly as they do today while FrugalAI records what each request cost, which team it belongs to, and what a cheaper model would have cost instead.

02

Try it

Assist mode

You let FrugalAI start swapping in cheaper models, but only on the requests you have not pinned to a specific model. Anything you want left alone stays untouched.

03

Run it

Enforce mode

Your rules apply across the workload. If answer quality drops below the line you set, FrugalAI puts itself back into watch mode without waiting for anyone to notice.

ON

The safety net

Always running

This is not a fourth step. FrugalAI spot-checks answers the whole time it is swapping models, so a drop in quality pulls it back automatically.
