How It Works

1

Pick a Preset

The agent shows you 8 presets. Pick the one that matches your use case. If unsure, pick "Balanced" — it works for most people.

2

Approve Setup (2-3 Clicks)

The agent handles everything via exec. You just click "Approve" on 2-3 popups. No terminal, no config editing. Your default model stays exactly the same — we only ADD options.

3

Start Saving

The agent now tells you when to switch to a cheaper model, and shows you the cost difference. You say yes or no. That's it.
