    Saw Spacial recently — it's an AI tool that helps figure out what can be built on a piece of land, based on local zoning rules. You enter a parcel and it generates 3D massing, site plans, and other planning details in a few minutes. Seems like it could be super helpful for early-stage architecture or development work.

    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…

    Hey 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’m Yahya, founder of Rocket Money (formerly Truebill, YC W16). I’m working with a team to launch Payloop, a lightweight infrastructure layer that helps teams understand the real costs of deploying AI agents - across tasks, workflows, and customers. Here's a quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-GkSl_7imY Most companies today can't see what it actually costs to deploy their agents, making it nearly impossible to manage margins or price confidently. Payloop solves this with an elegant approach: just a single line of code gives you real-time visibility into cost…
