For lean engineering and product teams shipping with agents

Give coding agents
the context they need,
not the waste.

OptexAI is a drop-in proxy for coding-agent workflows. It removes repeated context between turns so small and midsize teams can spend less on tokens and get steadier agent performance on real engineering tasks — up to 72% lower cost in our benchmark runs, and well ahead of the leading open-source compression proxy.

Drop-in API proxy · no SDK migration
The problem

Agents are useful. The context bill is messy.

Coding agents replay context every turn. For a 12-person engineering team or a PM trying to unblock a launch, that means the same files, diffs, and tool output get resent over and over. Costs compound, runs slow down, and teams lose confidence in which agent work is actually worth scaling.

01

Token waste hides in normal work

Refactors, test fixes, and bug hunts all create repeated context. It looks like progress, but a growing share of each turn is old information.

02

Small teams feel it first

When every engineer is experimenting with agents, surprise usage and slower turns show up before you have a dedicated AI platform team.

03

Context shortcuts can break tasks

Naive truncation or manual summarization can drop the line your agent needs. The fix loops, the review gets harder, and the bill grows.

04

Product leaders need proof

Provider dashboards report tokens, not redundant context. It is hard to decide where agents help delivery and where they are just burning budget.

How it works

A proxy your team can try this sprint.

OptexAI wraps your existing agent CLI or in-house wrapper and rewrites context on the wire. Keep your editor, model provider, and workflow — add cleaner context between turns.

STEP 01

Point your agent at OptexAI

Set your provider base URL to OptexAI and keep using the agent CLI, editor, or wrapper you already have. No SDK migration, no new developer workflow.

STEP 02

Rewrite context between turns

OptexAI removes repeated context turn-by-turn while preserving what the model needs to keep working. Your agent sees a cleaner conversation; you see a smaller bill.

STEP 03

See where tokens go

Every run reports input/output tokens and savings so you can tell which agent workflows are worth scaling. Per-workflow breakdowns and team views roll out during beta.

Isn't there a free open-source option?

Yes, and it's great at what it does — compressing noisy CLI output (cargo, git, find) before it hits your model. Use it.

OptexAI works at a different layer.

We rewrite agent context between turns— conversation history, tool calls, file reads. On these runs, per-command compression doesn't help when the bottleneck is replayed conversation context. Use both if you want.

Who it's for

Built for teams that need agent ROI before enterprise process.

Engineering leaders

Scale agent usage without giving up budget control.

Your team is adopting coding agents faster than your tooling stack can govern them. Put OptexAI in front of the workflow to reduce repeated context and see where tokens are actually going.

  • Drop-in proxy for existing agent CLIs and wrappers
  • Per-run savings visibility for team rollouts
  • Local-first path for teams with source-code sensitivity
Product & product-engineering leads

Turn agent experiments into predictable delivery loops.

You care less about the model demo and more about whether agents help ship the roadmap. OptexAI makes the hidden cost and performance tradeoff visible enough to choose the right workflows.

  • Clear cost-per-task signal for roadmap and prototype work
  • Benchmarks grounded in real bug-fix and code-change tasks
  • Fallback behavior designed to protect task quality
Builders & ICs

Keep your agent focused instead of babysitting context.

You're four turns into a refactor and watching tokens tick up. Wrap your CLI once, keep useful context flowing, and stop hand-pruning prompts just to finish a task.

  • Drop-in setup — point your agent at the OptexAI endpoint
  • Per-run savings breakdown in the dashboard
  • Works with the workflows your team already has
Privacy & data

Built for teams shipping with agents — with the data discipline to match.

OptexAI runs as a managed proxy in our cloud. Your agent's context turns transit our service, get rewritten to remove repetition, and forward on to your model provider. Here is what that means for your data.

0

Training on customer data

We do not train models on your prompts, code, or tool output. Your context is used to serve the request in front of it — nothing more.

30d

Operational log retention

Request metadata used to operate the service auto-deletes after 30 days. Aggregate metrics (token counts, savings ratios) are retained without the underlying content.

1:1

Encrypted, tenant-isolated

TLS 1.3 in transit; provider API keys are encrypted at rest and scoped to your account. One tenant, one key — never logged, never shared.

Why it works

A verifier-first system, not a clever prompt.

Every rewritten turn is checked against an equivalence oracle before it reaches the model — if quality dips, the proxy falls back to the raw context silently. Built by a small team of senior researchers and infra engineers.

Equivalence-tested

Every compression must reproduce the original turn's tool calls and final diff on a held-out test set, or it's discarded.

Sub-millisecond overhead

The proxy adds <1ms of latency per turn. The token savings dwarf the overhead by three orders of magnitude.

Self-hosted for teams

Enterprise customers run OptexAI inside their own VPC. Your code, prompts, and tool output never touch our infrastructure.

Observable end-to-end

Every turn is logged with input tokens, output tokens, savings, and an equivalence score. Pipe it to your existing telemetry stack.
