Building RAG document search on the OpenAI Python SDK? Add a semantic cache so the same questions re-running retrieval over the same corpus stop costing full price.
Building legal document assistants on DSPy? Add a semantic cache so the same clauses and questions across matters stop costing full price.
Building data analysis agents on LangGraph? Add a semantic cache so repeated tool calls and the same analytical questions stop costing full price.
Durable, per-user memory for Instructor agents that survives restarts and consolidates contradictions, self-hosted, zero egress.
A fixed similarity threshold is wrong the day after you set it. Crowkis uses a three-tier scheme, per-intent base, complexity adjustment, and an EMA feedback loop, that learns the right bar and persists it.
Fail-open design means most 'incidents' are the absence of savings, not the presence of errors. Here's the whole decision tree, which fits on an index card.
Full engine, production use, no license, no meter, no time bomb. Here's why giving the small end away is the rational structure, not a teaser.
Building SQL generation tools on LangChain.js? Add a semantic cache so the same schema questions and query shapes stop costing full price.

Add a semantic cache to Pydantic AI so repeated and reworded questions are served for free, no rewrite, self-hosted.
RESP, gRPC, REST, and the dashboard each get auth that fits their use, constant-time tokens for the data plane, RBAC for the control plane, mandatory locks past loopback.
Serverless caches meter every operation. A cache that charges per request in front of an API that charges per request is a strange kind of savings.
Building devops copilots on LangChain.js? Add a semantic cache so the same runbook and incident questions stop costing full price.
Building chatbots on the OpenAI Python SDK? Add a semantic cache so high-volume conversational traffic that repeats constantly stop costing full price.
