QuotaPilot – agent quota router

Route coding-agent tasks to cheap sub-agents by difficulty and stop burning quota

Problem

Heavy coding-agent users on personal plans complain that quotas drain absurdly fast after switching models, and they can't tell which tasks deserve the expensive flagship. Some already hand-route simple jobs to cheap sub-agents, but there is no lightweight routing layer in their workflow.

Solution

A local proxy/MCP layer that intercepts every request you send to the flagship model and rewrites routing by task type. Simple jobs (boilerplate, tests, scripts) go to cheap models like DeepSeek; hard reasoning stays with the flagship. A dashboard shows quota saved per request, weekly burn curve, and sub-agent hit rate.

Users

Indie developers and solo builders paying for Codex or Claude Code out of pocket

MVP

Local proxy for CLI traffic; built-in task classification rules; one-click 'cheap vs faithful' policy switch; daily quota saved report; exportable shareable configs

Revenue

Free basic routing plus paid policy packs and team-shared configs, subscription at $5-9/month

Why now

Multi-model and sub-agent orchestration just became mainstream, while token budget pressure turned routing from a nice-to-have into a necessity.
