AI Agent Too Expensive or Slow? Fix It

Cost Cutting (We cut $412/mo → $68)

• Model routing: Use Haiku/mini for 80% steps, Sonnet/4o for 20% critical reasoning
• Caching: Cache embedding for docs that don't change (save 60%)
• Batching: Instead of 1 email = 1 call, batch 10 emails per call
• Short prompts: Remove fluff - each 100 tokens = cost. Use bullet system prompts

Speed Boost (12s → 2.3s)

• Parallel tool calls - don't sequential if independent
• Use Groq or Fireworks for Llama 70B (300 tok/s vs 30 tok/s)
• Stream thoughts, don't wait for full plan
