Question 1

Can I connect multiple AI providers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure OpenAI, Bedrock, or a custom endpoint, and manage all of them from one dashboard.

Question 2

Do you store my full API keys?

Accepted Answer

No. When you add or rotate a key, we show it to you once so you can copy it — after that, only a masked reference (last 4 characters) is kept. We never display or export the full key again.

Question 3

How are cost-saving recommendations calculated?

Accepted Answer

We pull your actual usage logs — requests, tokens, and cost per model — and compare them against current per-token pricing for alternative models, so every recommendation is tied to your real spend, not a generic estimate.

Question 4

Does this replace my AI provider accounts?

Accepted Answer

No — you'll still have accounts with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc. This sits on top of them as your monitoring and cost layer, not a replacement.

Question 5

Can I invite my team?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Invite teammates with owner, admin, developer, analyst, or viewer roles, so people only see what's relevant to them.

Question 6

Is two-factor authentication supported?

Accepted Answer

Yes, TOTP-based two-factor authentication (Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar apps) is available from your account settings.
