🚀 Your AI app didn’t fail because of the model. It failed because your API key got rate-limited. That was the moment this product was born. While building with OpenAI and other AI APIs, everything worked… until it didn’t. Random failures. Silent rate limits. Broken demos. The worst part? The logic was fine — the infrastructure wasn’t. So I asked: Why are we still manually managing API keys in 2026? Most devs: Hardcode one key → 💥 hits limit Rotate keys manually → 😩 messy Write retry logic → 🧩 reinventing the wheel None of this scales. ⚡ So I built a smarter layer: a rate-limit-aware API key scheduler. Not just rotation. Not just retries. 👉 It thinks. Automatically switches keys before limits hit Tracks cooldowns & failures Distributes load intelligently Works across multiple AI providers 🧠 The shift: from “retry after failure” → “avoid failure entirely” What started as a simple key rotator evolved into a scheduler — because rotation alone is dumb. Awareness is everything. 🎯 Goal: Make API key management invisible. No more broken demos. No more last-minute failures. Just smooth, reliable AI calls.
