PromptUnit — AI Prompt Tool
Summary
PromptUnit is a proxy that sits in front of existing AI SDK calls and reroutes traffic to cheaper models.
It observes live traffic for fourteen days, builds a quality model, then begins swapping requests to lower-cost equivalents while keeping output fidelity within defined bounds. The service charges only a share of the savings it produces rather than a fixed subscription. Because it works through standard SDK endpoints, teams avoid any application changes yet still receive per-model cost breakdowns in real time. The unavoidable cost is a measured median latency increase of 41 ms plus the initial two-week wait before any routing activates.
Bottom line: _Choose it when monthly AI spend exceeds a few thousand dollars and 50 ms extra latency is acceptable; avoid it when response time is the binding constraint._
