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

Transcription

3 min read

OpenAI-compatible audio transcription - the same endpoint DevThrottle's own voice features use when you choose hosted transcription.

POST/audio/transcriptions

Transcribe an audio file. Multipart form data, OpenAI shape.

Request

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`file`	file	Required	The audio to transcribe (common formats accepted; WAV and similar).
`model`	string	Optional	Accepted for OpenAI compatibility (clients send whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe, ...). DevThrottle always transcribes with its Whisper-large-v3 class model regardless of this value.
`response_format`	string	Optional	json (default), text, or verbose_json - shaped to what you asked for.
`language`	string	Optional	Optional language hint.

Example

curl https://devthrottle.com/api/v1/audio/transcriptions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DEVTHROTTLE_API_KEY" \
  -F file=@recording.wav \
  -F model=whisper-1

Billing

Transcription is billed by audio duration from your prepaid credits at the published rate - $0.20 per hour of audio (rate card). The duration billed and the cost, to the cent, appear in Usage per request.

Note

The model parameter is deliberately forgiving: OpenAI-shaped clients hard-code their own model names, so DevThrottle accepts them and uses its own speech model - your client works unmodified, and what you are actually billed for is always the same published transcription rate.
