What this means for your costs

Bundled AI tools are easy to get started with, but as usage grows, costs can increase quickly. With a bring your own AI approach, you separate the tool from the AI itself.

  • Pay your provider directly for usage, and use Optlo to run and manage your support.
  • Lower costs over time, more flexibility in model choice, and clearer visibility into how your AI is used and optimized.
