The problem

AI costs scale with usage, and nobody can see where the money goes.

  • Token bills spike without warning.
  • Agents and employees burn budget with no attribution.
  • Redundant prompts are processed and paid for again and again.

You can't govern what you can't see.

BEE gives you unified visibility into usage, cost, latency, and quality, then acts on it automatically.

BEE is the self-hosted gateway that compresses prompts, caches by meaning, and enforces budgets across every team and agent. Your LLM bill shrinks while performance holds.

Works with the major LLM providers. Your data never touches our infrastructure.

What BEE does

PollenCompressor: pay for meaning, not filler

Dual-method prompt compression strips low-information tokens before they reach the provider. A built-in safety layer protects what matters most (negations, numbers, critical data), so accuracy stays intact while input costs fall.

HoneyCombCache: never answer the same question twice

Semantic caching uses vector similarity to recognize equivalent queries, not just identical ones. Matches are adapted and served instantly, so you get lower latency, zero repeat fees, and less compute waste.

Apiaries & WorkerBees: governance that scales with your org

  • Apiaries (teams): hard monthly budgets
  • WorkerBees (employees and agents): daily token quotas
  • Immutable audit log: exact cost attribution per user, per agent, per request, per project, per team, per period

Finance gets control and engineering keeps shipping.

Privacy by architecture

BEE routes and caches in cipher text, but LLM execution runs directly between your client and the provider. Sensitive responses never enter the gateway's trust boundary. It's self-hosted, so you hold the keys.

Why BEE wins

Savings that compound

Most cost tools give you a one-time discount. BEE gets smarter with use. As traffic patterns settle, the cache calibrates to your domain and hit rates climb, so spend stabilizes and then falls. The more your teams use AI, the more BEE saves.
