The problem it solves

You want to try out different AI models before committing budget to a paid API, but every test message costs money. That makes it expensive to experiment or prototype new AI features before you know they'll work.

Who it fits

A business or developer prototyping AI features who wants to try different AI models without committing to paid API costs.

How it works

  1. Your AI chatbot sends a request to the automation instead of directly to OpenAI
  2. The system forwards that request to GitHub's free AI model catalog
  3. GitHub's AI models generate a response
  4. The response is reformatted so your existing chatbot tools understand it
  5. You get an AI reply without paying for API usage
What you get

AI testing done without paying per request

You can prototype AI chatbot features using free AI models instead of paying for API calls while you experiment.

What you get

A working AI response delivered back to your existing chatbot or AI agent, at no per-request cost.

What you need

A GitHub account and your existing AI chatbot or automation platform account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
