Cache Rig (Rust) in your chatbot with Crowkis

Building chatbots on Rig (Rust)? Add a semantic cache so high-volume conversational traffic that repeats constantly stop costing full price.

Chatbots built on Rig (Rust) share one problem: high-volume conversational traffic that repeats constantly. Each repeat is a full-price Rig (Rust) call for an answer you already have.

Put a semantic cache in front. Point Rig (Rust)'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 chatbots logic.

Rig (Rust) + Crowkis
base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:6380/v1"   # Crowkis gateway, semantic cache in front
In plain words: The chatbots 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. Community edition ships at full power, free to run.
