WhatA middleware layer that intelligently routes AI coding requests across multiple providers (Claude, Deepseek, open-weight models) to maximize productivity while minimizing cost and avoiding rate limits.
SignalDevelopers are deeply frustrated by opaque and shifting rate limits on AI coding tools, with many already manually switching between providers like Claude Code and Deepseek based on cost and availability — they want uninterrupted coding flow without babysitting quotas.
Why NowMultiple viable AI coding models now exist at different price/quality points, open-weight models have reached adequate quality for scoped tasks, and subscription rate limits are becoming the primary bottleneck for power users.
MarketProfessional developers using AI coding assistants daily — millions of users paying $20-200/mo; key gap is that no tool automatically optimizes across providers; competitors are single-provider (Cursor, Claude Code) with no cross-provider intelligence.
MoatProprietary data on which models perform best for which coding tasks, plus switching costs once developers integrate it into their workflow and rely on its routing decisions.
