Revolutionary Cortex Meta-Language transforms AI processing with LISP-based optimization. Generate complete answers, not just optimized prompts.
Without an observability layer, LLM costs spiral out of control. Multiple providers, inefficient prompts, and redundant calls quickly bloat your bill.
CostKatana's Gateway intercepts requests and routes them to faster, cheaper alternatives that meet your quality requirements.
Duplicate requests are served directly from our semantic cache instead of hitting the provider again.
Malicious prompts are detected and blocked before reaching the LLM, preventing data exfiltration and costly API calls.
See everything in one place. Rich analytics help you understand AI spend, track performance, and find optimization opportunities.
The world's first AI meta-language that achieves 40-75% token reduction through revolutionary LISP-based answer generation.
