Reducing AI Spend Without Sacrificing Quality
AI costs can spiral quickly if not managed. The Dashboard provides real-time cost analytics that help you identify waste and optimize spend.
Not every task needs GPT-4. Switch routine tasks (classification, extraction) to GPT-3.5-turbo or Haiku. Use the Lab to verify quality doesn't drop below your threshold.
Review your longest prompts in the Dashboard. Every unnecessary word costs tokens. A well-structured 500-token prompt often outperforms a rambling 2,000-token one.
Add 'Maximum output: 500 tokens' to your Output Rules. Most outputs are 2-3x longer than needed because the AI wants to be thorough.
If 100 users ask the same question daily, cache the response instead of making 100 API calls.
Batch processing during off-peak hours is 40-60% cheaper with some providers. Schedule non-urgent generations for overnight runs.
