Reviewer scorecard
“One-line integration via proxy is genius. Change your base URL and instantly get logging, caching, and rate limiting.”
“Python script to interactive web app with zero frontend code. The caching and state management work well.”
“The proxy approach means minimal code changes. Cost tracking alone pays for itself when you have multiple models.”
“For data scientists who don't want to learn React, Streamlit is the best option. Quick prototyping and dashboards.”
“As AI costs become a significant line item, observability and optimization tools like Helicone become essential.”
“The UI options are limited compared to real frontend frameworks. Fine for internal tools, not for customer-facing apps.”
