FAQ
Common questions
How is it ten times cheaper?
Two reasons. You are billed for work that ran instead of seats that exist, and the router sends most steps to a cheap model that can do them rather than a flagship that does not need to. NEEDS_INPUT — add the worked example once pricing is locked.
Which models can I use?
Claude, GPT-class, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen and local open-weight models, plus image, speech and video models — all behind the same interface.
Can I use my own API key?
Yes, and it costs you nothing extra. Bring your key, pay the provider directly, and we take no cut. The full harness is still yours.
