Subscribe in 10 seconds
Drop in your email. Free subscribers get a sharp tip every week; Pro subscribers get one every single morning.
Apply one small change
Each tip is a single, concrete habit with a before/after example — trim a prompt, cache a prefix, right-size a model.
Watch the meter drop
Fewer tokens in and out means lower bills and faster responses — without sacrificing the quality of the output.
Signal, not snake oil
The internet is full of vague "write better prompts" advice. We ship specifics you can act on today.
Fact-checked, not hand-wavy
Every tip is reviewed for technical accuracy before it ships — no invented statistics, no claims that fall apart under scrutiny.
One habit at a time
Bite-sized and specific. Each issue is a single technique with a concrete before/after, so you can apply it in minutes.
Vendor-neutral
Tips that work across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and the raw APIs — plus coding assistants like Copilot and Cursor.
Money, not just tokens
We translate token mechanics into the thing you actually care about: a smaller monthly bill and faster apps.
Beginner → advanced
From "stop pasting the whole doc every turn" to prompt caching, batching and model cascades for production pipelines.
No lock-in
It's email. Read it, apply it, keep the savings. Cancel Pro anytime in two clicks — the habits are yours forever.
Real tips, free to read
These 22 Beginner tips are free forever. The 38 advanced tactics — caching, batching, model cascades — unlock with Pro.
Move Every Non-Urgent Job to the Batch API and Pay Half Price
If a job doesn't need an answer in the next few seconds, send it through the Batch API instead of the live endpoint. The exact same request costs half as much.
Ask for the Patch, Not the Whole File
When editing an existing file, tell the assistant to return only the changed lines as a diff or snippet instead of regenerating the entire file.
Drop the Screenshot Once the Model Has Read It
Images, PDFs, and attachments are charged as tokens and re-sent every turn in a multimodal thread. After the model has described or transcribed one, you usually don't need to keep sending the pixels.
Count Tokens Before You Hit Send, Not After the Bill Arrives
Measure a prompt's token count before sending it, so you catch oversized context while trimming it is still free.
Stop Paying Frontier Prices for Boilerplate Work
Most of your token spend is on tasks a small model handles perfectly. Match the model to the job instead of defaulting to your most expensive option for everything.
Return IDs and Enums, Not Sentences
For classification, routing, and selection tasks, have the model emit a short code, ID, or enum value instead of a polite sentence. The downstream code only needs the token, not the prose around it.
What is the waste costing you?
Most teams leave 30–60% of their AI spend on the table. Slide to your reality.
Conservative estimate. Redundant context, oversized models and verbose outputs are the usual culprits.
