AISmush is a drop-in proxy that makes Claude Code 90% cheaper — without changing how you work.
Real users. Real savings. $0.03 sessions that used to cost $30.
A heavy coding session burns through $20-50 in API costs. Most of those tokens are spent on mechanical tasks — reading files, processing tool results, making simple edits — that don't need Claude's $15/M token brain.
One command scans your codebase, sends it to AI for deep analysis, and generates Claude Code agents customized to YOUR project — your patterns, your frameworks, your architecture.
Not generic templates. Agents that know your specific file structure, your naming conventions, your test framework, your build commands.
AISmush automatically detects what kind of work each turn requires and routes it to the cheapest model that can handle it.
Planning and architecture? Claude ($15/M). Reading files and making edits? DeepSeek ($0.27/M). That's a 55x cost difference on the turns that matter most.
The biggest single improvement to token usage. Older tool results in your conversation get replaced with compact structural summaries — just function signatures, type definitions, and imports.
Your last 4 messages stay fully intact. Only older code results get summarized. JSON, YAML, and error results are never touched.
Every developer's frustration: "I already told you this yesterday."
Other tools remember tool names. AISmush captures entire conversations — your questions, the AI's answers, the reasoning, the decisions. Searchable by meaning, not just keywords.
--embeddings) — finds "JWT validation" when you search "auth bug"Claude handles 200K tokens. DeepSeek handles 64K. Long sessions blow past DeepSeek's limit, causing failures and lost work.
AISmush automatically manages the mismatch. Old tool results get trimmed, large contexts route to Claude, and your work is never blocked.
See exactly what you're saving. Every request tracked: which provider, how many tokens, what it cost, what it would have cost on Claude alone.
One command. ~15MB RAM. Won't slow your machine.
