PicoAI

About

I built PicoAI after getting tired of overpaying in Claude Code and Codex, hitting rate limits, and not knowing how to actually spend less. I found tools that showed usage, but not where the waste was coming from or what to change. So I dug into Claude Code and Codex workflows and turned prompt patterns, commands, caching behavior, and context management into practical savings techniques. That became PicoAI: a session analysis dashboard, a library of 40+ actionable techniques, and a real time prompt optimizer that catches costly prompt habits before you send them. Some techniques are quick wins, while others are more advanced and easy to overlook, like reducing hidden background costs from permission related behavior, avoiding unnecessary web searches, and cache breaking workflow patterns that quietly make sessions more expensive. Under the hood, PicoAI combines regex with an LLM classifier and has been tuned on 10,000+ real coding session messages. It is already helping me save money and avoid rate limits more often in daily use. Give PicoAI a try and let me know which prompt mistakes or workflow habits waste the most tokens for you in Claude Code or Codex.

Problem & solution

Who it's for

Claude Code and Codex users who want lower token costs and be more productive for longer.
