TokenSave
Cut your LLM API costs by 40-60% with intelligent caching and routing.
● The Problem
Companies running LLM features are shocked by their API bills. Similar queries hit the API repeatedly. Simple requests go to expensive models. There is no cost optimization layer between your app and the LLM provider.
● The Solution
A proxy that sits between your app and LLM APIs. It caches semantically similar requests, routes simple queries to cheaper models, and batches requests when possible. Drop-in replacement for OpenAI/Anthropic SDKs.

Go-to-Market Strategy
Publish a "LLM Cost Calculator" tool for lead generation. Target companies spending $1K+/month on LLM APIs. Case studies showing 40-60% cost reduction. Integrate with popular frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex).

Usage-BasedCompetitive Landscape
Portkey and Helicone offer observability. BricksLLM is open-source. LiteLLM handles routing but not caching. The combined caching + routing + cost optimization play is relatively open.
Why Now?
The first year of AI feature deployment prioritized speed. Year two is about cost optimization. Every finance team is asking "why is our OpenAI bill $50K/month?"
