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.

DevThrottle API

3 min read

The DevThrottle API is one key for the hosted AI your tools use - an OpenAI-compatible surface, so anything that speaks the OpenAI API shape can point at DevThrottle by changing the base URL and the key. The app does not need any of this to run your agents; the API exists for the things you build yourself.

Base URL

https://devthrottle.com/api/v1

Authentication is a DevThrottle API key (dt_...) sent as a bearer token - see authentication.

What is available today

Chat completions - OpenAI-compatible POST /chat/completions, including streaming.
Transcription - OpenAI-compatible POST /audio/transcriptions.
Models - GET /models, the models your key can call.
Errors and limits - the error shape and status codes.

Image generation is not available yet; its page will appear here when it ships.

How it is paid

API usage is billed from your prepaid credit balance - no subscription, and nothing can spend past the credits you loaded. Every request's cost appears in Usage, to the cent. Published prices live on the rate card.

Note

OpenAI compatibility means request and response shapes, including SSE streaming. Point an existing OpenAI SDK at the base URL above with your dt_ key and most code needs no other change.
