Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Ugyen, and I'm excited to share Hopeless API with you today.
THE BACKSTORY
We built an AI-powered customer agent for our SaaS. Within weeks, we hit a wall:
- Our AI bill went from $500 to $8,000/month
- We had no idea which requests were expensive
- Some prompts randomly failed and we only found out from customers
- We couldn't compare models because we had no data
So we built an internal gateway to save our own product. It worked. We cut costs 60%, improved reliability, and finally understood what was happening.
Then other founders started asking: "How do you monitor your AI?" "How do you control costs?" Same pain everywhere.
That's why we're launching this today.
WHAT WE BUILT
Think of it as "Google Analytics + Cost Optimizer + Error Monitor" for AI:
- See every request in real-time
- Automatic routing to cheapest model that works
- Alerts before you blow your budget
- Zero infrastructure to maintain
And it takes 2 lines to integrate.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
1. Try it - Free tier available
2. Tell us what's missing
3. Share with a founder struggling with AI costs
We're here all day to answer questions!
What AI challenges are you facing? Let's discuss.. :)
