A subscription AI assistant for content creators that automatically routes each task to the cheapest model that can do it well, with a flat monthly fee and no surprise bills.

Target user

Independent content creators (YouTubers, podcasters, Substack writers, freelance designers) using AI for scripts, thumbnails, translations, and research

Features
  • Single chat interface that picks the right model per task: cheap open models for first drafts and bulk rewrites, premium models for nuanced copy and tricky translations
  • Live monthly cost meter showing dollar savings versus an always-on premium subscription like ChatGPT Plus
  • Creator-tuned prompt templates: YouTube title A/B variants, hook rewrites, transcript cleanups, thumbnail brief generators, multi-language captions
  • One-click exports to Google Docs, Notion, and Final Cut / Premiere marker files for editing workflows
Why now

The Kimi K3 + Fable routing study proves a cheap open model can match a premium model on most creator tasks, but creators currently overpay $20/mo for capabilities they use only 10% of the time.

Feasibility

Trivial to assemble: open-source LLMRouter library and OpenRouter/Martian APIs provide routing as a commodity layer; the build is mostly a creator-focused UI plus cost-control guardrails.LLMRouter: An Open-Source Library for LLM Routing - GitHub
