I built MargIQ to learn which AI workflows actually need expensive models

Short summary

MargIQ is a new tool that analyzes production AI application traffic to identify which workflows could use lower-cost models without sacrificing quality. It operates at the workflow level rather than per-prompt, starts in report-only mode, and can optionally apply automatic routing. The free plan observes traffic and recommends savings; users retain existing provider credentials. The author seeks feedback from founders and engineers running recurring AI workflows.

  • •MargIQ analyzes production AI traffic to recommend per-workflow model routing
  • •Starts in report-only mode, can escalate to automatic routing
  • •Free plan available; works with existing model providers via npm install

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
