True, but for early stage builders it’s harder to design those guardrails upfront. A lot of the time you only discover the retry patterns and cost spikes once real users start hitting the system.

Fair point. And honestly, with more non-technical builders shipping agent-based products these days, that's probably where a service like this makes the most sense – for people who don't yet have the experience to know what guardrails to put in place.
Exactly. That’s actually why we started building Oxlo.ai. Early stage builders usually just want to experiment without worrying too much about token cost spikes.
