Platform Launch · From first workflow to production

Cut your AI spend, not your
output.

Most teams run the most expensive model for everything. We trace where the money goes, route simple work to cheaper or open-source models, cache repeated calls, and put cost controls in the runtime, so the bill drops without the quality.

One workflow to production. One platform to build on what works.

Positioning

Most AI bills are bigger than they need to be.

The most powerful model gets used for every task, so a simple lookup costs as much as a hard analysis.

Prompts are bloated, identical queries hit the API again and again, and nobody can see what is actually being spent.

Laava makes the spend visible and brings it down, inside the platform your agents already run on.

Outcomes

What the optimization gives you

Complete cost breakdown per feature, user, and model

Smart model routing, right model for each task

Prompt caching (up to 90% savings on repeated context)

Budget alerts before costs spiral

Ongoing monitoring dashboard

Concrete recommendations you can implement immediately

Three ways we take cost out

From a scoped audit to routing, caching, and controls in the runtime.

Cost Audit

We trace every LLM call, analyze usage patterns, and identify exactly where money is wasted. You get a prioritized report with concrete savings opportunities.

Model Routing

We implement intelligent routing: simple queries go to fast, cheap models (GPT-4o-mini, Haiku) or self-hosted open-source models (Llama, Mistral). Complex tasks stay on flagship models. Same quality, fraction of the cost.

Continuous Monitoring

Real-time dashboards showing cost per feature, per user, per day. Budget alerts. Anomaly detection. Never be surprised by your AI bill again.

Approach

How the optimization runs

Trace first, fix the biggest waste, then keep it low.

Step 01

1. Trace & Measure

We instrument your LLM calls with Langfuse tracing. Within days, we have complete visibility into every API call, token count, and cost.

Step 02

2. Analyze & Identify

We find the waste: oversized prompts, wrong model choices, missing caching, duplicate queries. We quantify exactly how much each issue costs.

Step 03

3. Optimize & Implement

We implement quick wins first: caching, model routing, prompt trimming. Then deeper optimizations. You see savings within weeks.

Step 04

4. Monitor & Maintain

We set up dashboards and alerts so you stay optimized. Costs stay low. New inefficiencies get caught early.

Measured on real production workloads.

Results

Three examples of AI making customer contact, document work, and knowledge processes faster, more consistent, and easier to control.

Insurance Company. Claims Processing

A mid-sized insurer was spending €8,000/month on flagship models for claims intake. We discovered 85% of queries were simple classification tasks. By routing these to GPT-4o-mini and a self-hosted Llama model, we cut costs by 70%.

Law Firm. Document Analysis

A growing law firm had €4,000/month in LLM costs with zero visibility. Our audit revealed duplicate queries (same documents analyzed repeatedly) and no prompt caching. After optimization, costs dropped to under €1,000/month.
