UNLOCK UNLIMITED AI POWER—GPT-4O, GEMINI, CLAUDE & MORE—VIA ONE FLAT-RATE API KEY

(upbeat music) - You know how it is keeping up with all the newest AI models? - Oh yeah. - It feels like you're constantly just watching the meter go up and up. - Totally. - Wondering when is this bill gonna just like hit the stratosphere? - For sure. - Yeah. - Just trying to build something really cool and useful. - Right. - But then you have to keep one eye on the tokens. - Oh, absolutely. - And thinking about all those crazy costs, you know, you just, you never know. - Unpredictable, totally unpredictable. - So that's why today we're diving deep into a platform that is aiming to completely change like the way this whole thing works. - I like it. - It's called Avobot, if you heard of this? - Yeah, Avobot, yeah, I've been hearing some buzz, yeah. - So, what's really fascinating about this? - Well. - Is that they're saying, they're the first unlimited AI API relay platform. - Okay. - They're offering flat rate access, which is like so different. - It's a huge shift, right? It's a whole different way of thinking about how we access these models. - Yeah, because we all know that right now, if you're using APIs, - Yeah. - The pricing can be like so confusing. - Oh, it's a minefield, honestly. - It is, you're always guessing. - Token counts and per request charges. - Oh, yeah. - It's hard to plan, it's tough to know what you're gonna get hit with at the end of the month. - Right, exactly. - I think that's what Avobot is really trying to solve here. - That's what they're saying. - This problem of like, how do we make this more predictable? How do we make this more accessible? - So, our mission today is to really unpack. - Okay. - What is Avobot? - Yes. - How does it actually work under the hood? - Yeah. - And why should you care? - Right. - Like, why is this relevant? - Especially for people who are listening to this, they wanna stay on top of all the AI stuff that's happening. - Exactly. - So this could be big. - And one of the coolest things, the founder, Alan Vowe. He actually had this really interesting analogy. - Oh, okay. - He called it the Metro PCS of AI APIs. - Metro PC, okay, so like the phone company. All right, what do you think about that? - So, okay, think about it, right? - Yeah. - Metro PCS, they're all about simple flat rate access. - Right, you pay your monthly fee, you get your minutes, your texts, your data, no surprises. - Exactly, and that's what Alan is saying. They wanna bring to AI APIs. - Interesting. So kind of like a subscription model for AI. - Yeah, just make it easy, predictable. - No more counting tokens. - Exactly. - That's pretty cool, I like that. - So the core concept here. - Yeah. - Is they want to offer one API to access a whole bunch of different models. - Multiple models, okay. - So it's like a relay layer. - A relay, explain that a little bit more. - So instead of going to like open AI for GPT, and then going to Google for Gemini. - Right, different APIs. - And then deep seat for this one, anthropic for that one. - It's a lot to keep track of. - It's a mess, you just go to Avobot. - One stop shop. - And they handle routing your request to the right model. - Okay. - And they have a ton of models. - Oh yeah, like what? - They've got open AI's GPT 40. - Okay, the new one. - Yeah, and GPT 40 mini. - Oh, interesting. - The older one. - Classic. - Google's Gemini Pro, Gemini Flash. - Okay. - Deep Seeks R1. - Powerful. - Anthropic Cloud 3.7 on it. - Wow, a lot of options. - XAI's GROC 2 and GROC 3. - Keeping up with all the big players. - And then some open source stuff. Like, 0103 mini, 03 mini high. - Wow, so it's a real mix. They've got everything. - It's a lot, it's pretty impressive. - So you're telling me I can access all of that through one API. - That's the idea. - That's pretty cool. - And then this one gets even cooler. They have this thing called auto mode. - Auto mode, what's that? - So imagine this, you don't have to pick which model to use. - Really? - It'll do it for you. - How does it do that? - So it looks at what you're asking. - Okay. - And then it considers your plan, how much you're paying. - Okay. - And then it looks at the different models. - Uh-huh. - Like how fast they are if they're available. And then it picks the one that it thinks is best. - Wow, so it's like an AI choosing the best AI for the job. - It's like having an AI concierge. - That's a game changer that could really streamline things for developers. - Yeah, so no more like spending hours comparing different models. - Just let the system figure it out. - It's exactly. - So that's the tech side of it. But let's talk about the money side of it, the pricing, because that's what's really interesting here. They're doing flat rate. So walk me through the different plans. - Okay, so they have a bunch of different tiers. They start with a free tier, which is pretty cool. - Free, nice. - Then they have starter for $29 a month. - Okay. - Core is $49. - Right. - Basic is $69. - Dad. - Pro is $89. - Got it. - Super is $139. - Get it up there. - And then finally, enterprise is $499 a month. - Okay, so a pretty wide range. - Yeah. And the main difference between the plans is how often you can make requests. - Okay, so there's like a limit on how many requests you can send. - Yeah, they call it maximum request frequency. - Okay, so the more you pay, the more requests you can send. - Exactly. And then the other difference is, how long they keep the responses for you? - They store the responses. - Yeah, they call it response retention. - Interesting, okay. - So for example, the free plan, you can set one request every 120 seconds. - Okay. - And they keep the response for two days. - Got it. - But the enterprise plan, you can send a request every second. - Wow, that's a lot. - Yeah, they keep the responses for 60 days. - So it really depends on your needs and how much you're using it. - But the key thing here is within those limits, it's unlimited usage. - Unlimited, so no more worrying about those token charges. - No more surprise bills. - You know exactly what you're paying every month. - It's predictable, finally. - That's really attractive, especially for smaller companies. - Startups. - Yeah, startups who, you know, they have limited budgets. - They need to know. - Yeah, they need to be able to predict their costs. And what's really cool is that they offer a bunch of benefits across all the plans, even the free one. - Yeah, so no matter what you're paying-- - We get a lot. - You get unlimited usage within the limits. - Okay. - Access to all the models, which is like nine plus right now. - Wow, that's amazing. - A REST API, which most developers will be familiar with. - Standard way of connecting different systems, right? - Yeah, it's how software talks to each other over the internet. - Right, right. So you can see what's going on. - Keep track of everything. - Yeah, how much you're using that kind of thing? - Makes sense. - The auto model selection, which we talked about. - The AI concierge. - Yeah, and they store the responses for, you know, however long your plan allows. - That's a pretty comprehensive package. - It is, it's a lot of value. - Especially for developers, I imagine. - Yes, they're really focused on making developers happy. - In what ways? - Well, first off, no vendor lock-in. - What does that mean? - So you're not stuck with, like, just open AI models or just Google models. - Yeah, okay. - You can switch between them. - So if I'm using GPT-4O, but I wanna try GROC-3, I can just do that. - Exactly, without having to change a bunch of your code. - That's huge, because usually switching APIs is a pain. - It's a nightmare. - You have to rewrite everything. - And then, of course, the flat-rate pricing. - It's a bunch of things so much easier. - It's predictable, which developers love. - Yeah, no surprises. - And their API is really easy to use. - They use REST, right? - Yeah, REST, and they give you the responses in JSON format. - Which is, like, the standard way of exchanging data. - Very clean, very easy to parse. - Makes sense. - And they have great documentation. - Oh, that's important. - Yeah, clear examples, easy to understand. - So you're not just, you know, thrown in the deep end. - Oh, they hold your hand. - They guide you through it. - They have clear status indicators. They explain how the auto mode works. - Okay. - And you can manage everything yourself. - Self service. - You go to the dashboard, you generate your API key, you track your usage. - That's really convenient. So it seems like they've really thought about the developer experience. - Yes, they've put a lot of effort into making it as easy as possible. - So thinking about all this, like, who would benefit the most from using Avabot? - They actually list a few specific use cases. - Oh, okay. - So first off, AI startups. - startups, yeah. - Especially the ones that use a lot of cramps. - Right, because those costs can add up quickly. - Exactly, and they might not have a ton of money to throw around. - Yeah, they need to be careful. - Then founders who are building apps that use large language models. - LLM backed apps. - Yeah, and they're worried about the cost as they grow. - As they scale up. - Yeah, because if they get a lot of users-- - The costs can explode. - Suddenly, their bill is like 10 times what it used to be. - That's scary for a startup. - So this way, it's predictable. - They know what to expect. - Exactly. - Developers who are just prototyping and experimenting. - They don't want to be constantly counting tokens. - Right, just want to play around, try different things. - Yeah, see what works. - Without having to worry about breaking the bank. - And then even big companies, you know, enterprises. - Enterprises. - Okay. - They need reliable AI access. - For different projects. - For internal tools, for whatever. - And they need it to be predictable. - Exactly, they need to be able to budget for it. - Because those enterprise AI projects, they can be huge. - They can be massive. - So having predictable costs is crucial. - Yes, so it's really a platform for everyone. - From individual developers to big companies, that's pretty impressive. - And then another thing they highlighted, is their support for asynchronous workflows. - Asynchronous, what does that mean? - So you send a request to the AI model. - Okay. - But instead of waiting for the response right away, -Which can take a while. -Yeah, especially if it's a complex task. -Right. -You get a message ID. -Okay. And then you can use that ID to check back later. So you don't have to wait. You can just go do something else. Exactly. And then when the response is ready, you can fetch it. Okay, so it's kind of like sending an email. Yeah, you don't wait by the mailbox. You send it and then you check your inbox later. Exactly. So it's much more efficient. More robust. And it can actually be cheaper. Oh, how so? Because Applebot can like optimize its resources. They don't have to keep your request active the whole time. Yeah, so it's a win-win. That's clever. And then, of course, we have to talk about the free plan. Yes, the free tier, that's always interesting. So you can make one request every 120 seconds. Okay, not too bad. And the responses are kept for two days. So it's good for like testing the waters. Exactly. See if you like it. -It might out. -Play around with the models. -Experiment. -And if you need more, you can always upgrade. Right. Go to one of the paid plans. Super easy to do. That's a smart strategy, you know? Let people try it before they buy it. Yeah, it's a low risk way to see what it's all about. Definitely. So far, listeners who are interested in learning more. -Yeah. -What should they do? Go to their website, www.avobod.com. Sign up, get an API key, and start building. They make it easy to get started. Yeah, very straightforward. That's great. So to sum it all up. Yeah, what's the takeaway message here? Avolp is doing something really new here. New how? They're offering flat rate, unlimited access. Within the rate limits. Right, with the limits, of course. Of course. And you get one API to connect to all these different models. Simplifying everything. No more token madness. Predictable costs.
