AI Call Budget Pre-Interception Tool
MaverikSh · reddit · 2026-07-19
The author showcases the actual interface and capabilities of their product, Cognocient: it places a proxy layer in front of AI provider calls to attribute every cost by feature, team, or department, and can enforce budgets before requests are even sent. If a feature or agent loop is about to overspend, the request is blocked or downgraded at the proxy layer, rather than discovering a bill shock on the dashboard days later.
The post also offers a no-signup-required free cost calculator: users can select models, usage, and cache hit rates to quickly get a cost breakdown and suggestions for cheaper alternatives. The author mentions that the product tours page requires an enterprise email to unlock, and welcomes discussions on proxy layer performance under load, interception latency, and FOCUS 1.1 export details.
