Cutting AI costs with SHIM

We’ve been testing ways to keep AI tools affordable. One issue we hit was paying multiple times for nearly identical queries. Using SHIM, a middleware that caches similar requests and scrubs sensitive info, we cut costs by about 40% and sped up responses.

I’d love to hear how others here are managing AI costs or privacy in their productivity setups. What’s been working for you?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working around a platform called Ugram that focuses on helping creators and businesses improve their Instagram reach and engagement more efficiently.

The main goal is to make audience growth feel less random and more targeted, especially for smaller brands and creators trying to gain visibility without relying heavily on ads.

I’m currently looking for honest feedback from people who actively use Instagram for business, content creation, or marketing.

Website: https://ugram.com

Things I’d genuinely love feedback on:

  • User experience
  • Features you’d actually use
  • What feels unnecessary
  • What would make a tool like this more useful

Still improving things step by step, so real opinions are more valuable to me than promotion.

Would appreciate any feedback or suggestions from this community.
