MisterPilot: Pay for AI APIs with UPI, not a credit card

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm a Java backend dev, and I built MisterPilot because of a problem every Indian developer building with LLMs runs into eventually: every AI API assumes you have a US credit card. Stripe billing, USD pricing, forex markup that turns a $5 top-up into ₹400+. For a weekend project? For testing an idea before you even know if it's worth pursuing? That's a real tax just to experiment. So here's what MisterPilot does: 🔌 OpenAI-compatible — if your code calls openai.chat.completions, you swap the base URL and you're done. No SDK migration. 💳 UPI billing, ₹50 minimum — GPay, PhonePe, Paytm. Recharge like you'd top up anything else. 🛡️ PII redaction built in — sensitive data gets scrubbed server-side before it's sent to the underlying model. If you're security-conscious about what leaves your infra, this matters. Why it works the way it does: I'm running this on DeepSeek under the hood, which is what makes the ₹50 minimum economically possible — output costs are a fraction of what they'd be on a US-hosted frontier model. The tradeoff (data passing through DeepSeek's infra) is something I'm upfront about, and the redaction layer exists specifically to reduce what's exposed in that path. This is solo-built and very much a work in progress. I'd genuinely rather hear "this is broken" or "this is missing X" now than after 100 people have tried it. So please — break it, and tell me what you find. 🙏 Happy to answer anything technical in the comments — Java backend, the gateway architecture, the redaction approach, all of it.
