AgentPulse CI Cost & Speed Radar

Track CI spend and build speed driven by coding agents

Problem

Teams increasingly let Claude Code and Codex open PRs automatically, which multiplies CI runs and costs. A recent Ask HN thread asked how fast people's CI is now, noting that CI costs are generally rising in the agent era, and there is no tool that attributes per-build spend to agent-triggered work or shows where to optimize.

Solution

Connect read-only to GitHub Actions or GitLab CI and break down build minutes and cost by repo, branch, and trigger source (human vs agent). Flag redundant builds triggered repeatedly by agents and suggest caching, parallelism, or skip rules. Show daily cost and speed trends in one dashboard.

Users

Small dev teams and indie developers using coding agents whose CI bills keep climbing

MVP

GitHub Actions read-only integration only; classify builds by trigger source; show 30-day cost trend; surface top 3 optimization suggestions

Revenue

Per-repo subscription (free for one repo, $9-$29/mo), with a team tier priced per seat

Why now

Coding agents went mainstream in daily dev workflows in 2025, CI volume exploded, but monitoring still assumes human triggers; big vendors ignore agent-level attribution, leaving room for an indie build
