Where your AI spend went this week
1
Sending a whole book when a paragraph would do
Each time your chat tool replies, it re-reads the entire past conversation. Most of that history isn't needed.
$127/mo
2
Using the expensive model for easy questions
About 1 in 8 questions are simple enough for a cheaper, smaller model. You're paying premium rates for them.
$34/mo
3
Asking the same thing twice in a minute
A retry loop is firing more than it needs to. We saw this happen 28 times this week.

What we suggest next
- Have your technical person apply the small fix we wrote up (we'll email the exact change).
- Expect your bill to drop by about $127/month starting the day the fix goes in.
- The helper keeps watching. If the fix doesn't work, we'll tell you next week.
- Nothing for you to do right now. Enjoy your Friday.
Overall, nice work — most of your AI setup is already in good shape. This one fix is the only thing worth anyone's time this week.
