PoolGuard: Team AI-budget pooling — one shared pool, per-member caps

Hey PH! 👋 I'm vittoriali, maker of PoolGuard. The problem: teams share one OpenAI key, someone's retry loop goes feral overnight, and finance finds out at the invoice. API dashboards tell you *after* the money is gone. PoolGuard flips it: one shared budget pool, every teammate gets their own capped key. Over budget = hard HTTP 402 *before* spend happens. Your provider key stays encrypted server-side — members never touch it. What's inside: - Per-member daily/monthly caps + pool balance + pool monthly ceiling - Owner dashboard: who burned what, cutoff alerts - Kill switch: one click blocks the whole team - O(1) budget checks via a pre-aggregated ledger; fail-closed pricing so unknown models can't sneak past caps Free tier (1 team, $25 pool credit/mo), Pro $19/mo per team.
