Cache LiteLLM in your IT helpdesk bot with Crowkis
Building IT helpdesk bots on LiteLLM? Add a semantic cache so the same tickets and fixes, endlessly stop costing full price.
IT helpdesk bots built on LiteLLM share one problem: the same tickets and fixes, endlessly. Each repeat is a full-price LiteLLM call for an answer you already have.
Put a semantic cache in front. Point LiteLLM's base URL at the Crowkis OpenAI-compatible gateway, or wrap the call in get-or-compute, and reworded repeats are served from cache, no rewrite of your IT helpdesk bots logic.
LiteLLM + Crowkis
base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:6380/v1" # Crowkis gateway, semantic cache in front
In plain words: The IT helpdesk bots keep working exactly as before; the repeats just stop hitting the model.
On repetitive traffic this cuts costs up to 60-70% on repetitive workloads, and every hit carries a confidence score so reuse stays safe. It's one self-hosted binary, Redis-compatible, free to run.
