Is DevThrottle an AI agent?

No. DevThrottle does not write code and is not an agent - it is the control room for the agents you already run. It lines up Claude Code, Codex, and your other tools on one board so you can see what each is doing at a glance and answer them by voice. You bring the agents and their subscriptions, and running them through DevThrottle costs nothing.

The app is free forever, and your code never leaves your computer. We host nothing of yours, so it costs us nothing when you use it. The only thing for sale is prepaid credits, which pay for hosted AI features like transcription at a published rate card. The free version is not a trial and never expires.

Which coding agents does it work with?

It works with the AI coding agents you already use - Claude Code, Codex, Aider, Gemini, and others - across different tools at the same time. You keep your existing agent and subscription; DevThrottle runs and watches them all on one board.

API

Chat completions

3 min read

OpenAI-compatible chat completions. Send the same request body you would send to the OpenAI API; DevThrottle routes it to the model you name and streams the response back.

POST/chat/completions

Create a chat completion. Supports server-sent-event streaming with "stream": true.

Request

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`model`	string	Required	A model id from GET /models. Unknown models are rejected outright - there is no silent substitution.
`messages`	array	Required	The conversation, OpenAI chat format: objects with role and content.
`stream`	boolean	Optional	true streams tokens as SSE chunks in the OpenAI chunk format.
`max_tokens, temperature, ...`	various	Optional	Standard OpenAI sampling parameters are passed through to the model.

Example

curl https://devthrottle.com/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DEVTHROTTLE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "MODEL_ID_FROM_/models",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello."}]
  }'

Response

The OpenAI chat-completion object (or SSE chunks when streaming), including the usage block with token counts. The same usage appears in your Usage page with its cost.

Models and billing

The models your key can call - and therefore what you can put in model - come from GET /models; the list depends on your account. Requests are billed from your prepaid credits per token; each request's exact cost shows in Usage.

Note

A request that fails returns an error without debiting credits - you pay for completions you received, not for attempts. Error shapes are on errors and limits.
