Hey everyone
I'm Bravolity building AgentGate, a lightweight LLM gateway designed for small AI teams (5 50 people).
Before writing a single line of code, I spent a few weeks on Reddit and developer forums just listening. A few pain points kept coming up independently:
Cost visibility token-level costs exist, but teams can't tell which agent task or workflow run caused a spike
Model lock-in when a new model drops, teams are stuck waiting weeks for their gateway to support it
Enterprise-gated basics SSO, audit logs, cost controls... all locked behind $1,000+/month tiers
We're building specifically for the teams that fall through the cracks between "too small for Enterprise" and "too busy to self-host LiteLLM."
My question for you: what's the most frustrating part of managing LLM API costs in your current stack? Is it the observability, the tooling, or just the sheer unpredictability of agent-driven workloads?
Would love to hear what you're running into this is exactly the kind of input that shapes what we build first.
