Hey HN! Built this after watching engineering teams repeatedly get surprised by AI API invoices — no visibility into spend until the bill landed. TokenWatch connects to your OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini keys and gives you: - Real-time spend dashboard across projects - Budget thresholds with proactive alerts - Anomaly detection for unusual cost spikes - Duplicate call detection (biggest source of wasted spend I've seen) Free tier supports up to 3 AI systems. Built this in ~2 days as a solo project. Happy to answer anything about the build or the problem space.

API Radar▲77We built API Radar to track exposed API keys from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and other major providers—in real time—from public GitHub repositories. Why? Leaked AI keys are everywhere. They power bots, cost companies thousands, and even expose user data. But no one had a clean dashboard to see the leaks as they happen — until now. What you’ll find: Full redacted + raw API key leaks Real-time feed of exposed repos Leaderboards by author, repo, and provider Filtering by provider (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.) Timeline of key exposure trends Built for security researchers, devs, and AI companies…

Much of my work right now involves complex, long-running, multi-agentic teams of agents. I kept running into the same problem: “How do I keep these guys in line?” Rules weren’t cutting it, and we needed a scalable, agentic-native STANDARD I could count on. There wasn’t one. So I built one. Here are two open-source protocols that extend A2A, granting AI agents behavioral contracts and runtime integrity monitoring: - Agent Alignment Protocol (AAP): What an agent can do / has done. - Agent Integrity Protocol (AIP): What an agent is thinking about doing / is allowed to do. The problem:…

AICosts.ai▲12Hey HN, I'm a solo SWE building AICosts.ai after working on multiple projects where managing AI costs became a nightmare across multiple clients. Between OpenAI, Claude, Blotato, ElevenLabs, n8n workflows, Make workflows, and dozens of other AI tools, I was spending hours each month just figuring out what I was actually spending and on what. So basically I built AICosts.ai to solve this: one location for me to track my entire AI stack (GPT, Claude, Gemini, automation tools like Zapier/Make/n8n)in one place. It helps me compare costs across providers, set billing alerts, and track…

Hi HN, I just launched AI Cost Board, a small project I built to make multi-provider AI usage easier to operate in production. It gives you a unified dashboard for: total spend token usage request volume latency and error rates What it enables: one proxy layer for multiple providers request logs for debugging and visibility budgets + alerts for cost control workspace/project structure for teams pricing + subscription flow for Free/Pro plans The goal is simple: make AI costs and performance observable in real time, without stitching together multiple tools. I’d really appreciate…

AgentWatch▲12Hi HN, I’m a solo developer and built AgentWatch to solve a problem I kept running into while building AI agents: preventing runaway loops and unexpected LLM spend before requests reach the model. AgentWatch sits in front of OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Groq, and others to enforce budgets and runtime policies. I’d really appreciate your feedback. If you’re building AI agents, does this solve a problem you’ve experienced? I’d also love to hear what you’d improve or challenge.

Orbit AI▲9Hi HN, I built Orbit to solve a visibility gap in AI cost management. Provider dashboards show aggregate API spend, but don't answer which product feature is driving it. When your bill spikes, you're left guessing whether it's the chatbot, document processor, or an agent workflow running inefficiently. Orbit attributes every LLM call to a specific feature, task, or customer. You wrap your existing AI client with our SDK, tag calls with metadata, and get real-time dashboards showing cost, latency, and error rates broken down by feature. Key capabilities: Per-feature cost and performance…

Hi HN, My name is Ben Schaechter and I’m Co-Founder and CEO of https://vantage.sh - a cloud cost visibility and optimization platform. We just added support for monitoring OpenAI costs and usage to Vantage and I wanted to share a demo we put together with HN as I thought people might find it interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzAOU1-uMrM In early April we started getting requests from customers to add OpenAI cost support specifically as it was a bit opaque as to what exactly was driving costs. The way this works is that it uses an undocumented API available…
