docoreai 2.1.1

Self-tuning AI budgets, built privacy-first.

DoCoreAI

The Privacy-First AI Cost & Governance Platform

🚧 Prototype Stage — Built on 17 months of research and validated against waste patterns observed across 20+ enterprise AI engagements. Closed source from v2.0. SOC2 certification in progress. Early adopters and design partners welcome.

The Problem Enterprise AI Teams Face Today

Your team ships an AI feature. Usage grows. Then one of two things happens.

Option A — You log everything. Prompts, responses, full request bodies. Now your compliance team is blocking the rollout. Legal wants a data retention policy. Security calls it a liability. The AI pilot stalls.

Option B — You skip logging. No compliance risk, but now you're flying blind. Costs spike overnight with no warning. A single bad deployment burns through the monthly budget by Tuesday. There's no audit trail, no governance, no way to explain the bill.

And even when logging is solved, the spending problem remains. LLM costs do not self-regulate. Without active budget control, a traffic surge at 10 AM can exhaust the entire day's budget by noon — leaving your service unavailable for the remaining 14 hours. There are no native guardrails in any LLM provider SDK. No pacing, no prediction, no automatic intervention. You either overspend or you build all of that yourself.

Enterprise AI teams have been forced to choose between privacy and visibility — and then left to solve cost control entirely on their own. DoCoreAI eliminates all three problems.

What DoCoreAI Does

Your office pays the electricity bill based on peak circuit capacity — not what you actually consumed. Most LLM deployments work the same way. The default max_tokens ceiling is set high as a safety net, and you pay for every token up to that ceiling whether the response needed it or not. The waste is silent, automatic, and compounds with every request.

DoCoreAI sits between your application and any LLM provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, AWS Bedrock, Ollama — and acts as an autonomous cost and governance layer. It learns your actual usage patterns, predicts what each request genuinely needs, replaces the wasteful ceiling with a precise prediction, and paces your budget across the full day. Your prompts never leave your network. Only cost and token metadata is aggregated — nothing sensitive, ever.

Projected outcome: 40–70% reduction in LLM spend, based on token waste patterns observed across 20+ enterprise AI deployments. Enterprise pilots will validate this at scale.

Architecture — Privacy by Design

DoCoreAI runs as a sidecar in the same Python environment as your application. It monkey-patches all active LLM SDK calls automatically at startup — no imports, no wrappers, no changes to your existing code. Every request passes through governance checks, token prediction, budget validation, pacing adjustment, and soft limit injection before the LLM call is made. After the response arrives, actuals are compared to predictions and fed back into the learning loop. Your application sees none of this. It just gets the response.

Why DoCoreAI Is an Agentic Platform

Most observability tools watch and report. DoCoreAI watches and acts.

Multi-step reasoning. Budget decisions weigh spend rate, prediction accuracy, model drift, team quotas, and policy rules simultaneously — not a single threshold trigger.

Autonomous task execution. The pacing engine, soft limit injector, auto-retrain triggers, and governance blocks all fire without human approval, in real time, on every request.

Predictive budget management. DoCoreAI learns your historical spending patterns over 30 days, builds a per-hour prediction model, distributes your budget intelligently, and auto-corrects when actual usage deviates from the learned baseline.

Continuous self-improvement. When prediction accuracy degrades, the system detects drift, retrains the LightGBM model on recent telemetry, runs an A/B test against the previous champion, and promotes the better model automatically — all without any action from your team.

---

How the Cost Reduction Works

The default max_tokens on most LLM calls is set to 2,000 or higher — a safe ceiling, not a real estimate. Most responses need a fraction of that. You pay for the ceiling.

DoCoreAI replaces that ceiling with a prediction.

At 30,000 requests per month, that single optimisation saves approximately $990/month — before pacing, soft limits, or governance kick in.

Quick Start

Requirements: Python 3.12+ · pip · A free org token from docoreai.com

Supported platforms: Actively developed and tested on Windows.

• macOS and Linux should work without issues — the codebase is pure Python — but has not yet been formally tested. Please report any platform issues at docoreai.com/docs.

Step 1 — Install DoCoreAI in the same environment as your application:

pip install docoreai

Step 2 — Generate your org token at docoreai.com and configure DoCoreAI:

docoreai config

Step 3 — Start DoCoreAI alongside your application:

docoreai start

DoCoreAI automatically intercepts all LLM SDK calls in your environment. No changes to your application code are required.

What you see in your terminal confirming it's working:

No prompt content. No response content. Just the signal that matters.

To stop DoCoreAI:

Ctrl+C
# Graceful shutdown — active requests complete before exit

What the Dashboard Will Show

🔧 The cloud dashboard is under active development. The metrics below reflect what is being built toward. Local telemetry is fully operational today.

For the engineering manager or CTO reviewing AI spend:

• Daily cost vs. budget — real-time spend curve against your set limit, by hour
• Savings percentage — projected vs. actual token consumption across all providers
• Budget pace status — on track, ahead, or over pace, with throttling events logged
• Provider breakdown — cost split across OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, and others

For the developer monitoring prediction quality:

• Prediction accuracy (MAE) — mean absolute error across recent requests, trending over time
• Cutoff rate — percentage of responses that reached the token ceiling, indicating under-prediction
• Drift events — when the prediction model degraded and what triggered retraining
• A/B test results — champion vs. challenger model performance, promotion or rollback decisions

Real-World Use Cases

Preventing budget exhaustion — SaaS platforms A marketing email triggers a customer surge. Without pacing, the daily budget is gone by 11 AM and the service is blocked for 13 hours. DoCoreAI detects the spike, applies graduated throttling, and keeps the service running for the full 24 hours on the same budget.

Handling seasonal traffic — e-commerce Black Friday volume runs 5× normal. DoCoreAI's peak-aware pacing strategy recognises the anomaly, allows temporary over-pace during the critical window, and compensates during off-hours — keeping spend within the planned monthly envelope.

Enterprise compliance — regulated industries A healthcare or financial services team needs full AI observability but cannot log prompt content. DoCoreAI's metadata-only telemetry delivers complete cost and governance visibility with zero prompt retention — nothing that touches a compliance boundary ever leaves the local environment.
