Navige

Budget limits and approval controls together make sense especially for agents than can take sensitive actions. How granular are the permissions?

Why should I put another service between my AI agents and their providers? Isn't that another thing that could break?

The cost breakdown by job sounds genuinely useful. It's hard to optimize AI spending when everything shows up as one big bill.

What happens if Navige doesn't recognise the model I am using? Does it show zero cost?

Does Navige only optimise LLM tokens, or can it help with paid search and scraping APIs too?

I am confused about the pricing. Is it $9 a month or 20% of the savings?

Love the Watchtower idea. Seeing what it would change before turning it on feels like the right way to build trust. How do you catch cases where a cheaper model gives a plausible but slightly worse answer?

What's the catch with Watchtower being free forever?

Hi all, Akhil here, co-founder and CCO. Soji’s covered how Navige works, so I’ll talk about the money side.If you sell an AI product on a flat monthly price, you don’t really control what each customer costs you. Someone paying $30 a month can burn through more than that in model calls, and you won’t know until the invoice comes in. A lot of that spend is simple stuff, all running on a model that’s far bigger than the job.Navige shows you what each agent and each job is actually costing you, and where a smaller model would have done fine. You can also set a budget, so a loop that goes wrong gets stopped before it shows up on your bill.We start everyone on Watchtower for that reason. You see the real numbers first and nothing changes until you decide.Genuinely curious...... if you are running agents in production, do you know what a single job costs you? Or is it a surprise at the end of the month?

Hey Product Hunt 👋Why we built NavigeMost of what an AI agent does isn’t hard - sorting an email, pulling a date out of a document, picking the next step. But often, it all runs on the most expensive model, because that’s the one written into the code and nobody went back to change it.Then the bill arrives as one number, and nobody can say which agent spent what.Navige sits in front of calls routed through it and acts before they run, while the cost can still change. We call this Sufficiency Intelligence: give each task exactly the intelligence it needs.How it worksIt assesses each request and sends suitable ones to a smaller model. Your model is the ceiling: Navige only moves calls down, never up, and keeps yours whenever it’s unsure.If the smaller model fumbles a tool call, the call re-runs on your original model, and your agent only sees that answer.It records every job: what it cost, what the controls changed and what made the difference. Measured savings and estimates are clearly separated.On top of that, you get budgets per team and per job, approval holds for risky actions, a kill switch and an audit trail.Two things we did on purposeWatchtower is the starting point. Navige watches and shows what it would have done, but changes nothing until you say so.Connect your Anthropic or AWS Bedrock account and put your real bill next to Navige’s figures, so you can check the numbers instead of trusting a savings claim.PricingWatchtower is free forever. On paid plans, of the measured savings Navige can show, you keep four parts and we keep one, subject to a $9/month minimum.Give it a weekWatch your agents for a week. Nothing changes until you decide.Which of your agents’ jobs do you suspect is running on a much bigger model than it needs? 👇
