Routing Is Useful, But It Is Not the Whole Product
Prismo still supports API routing, budgets, and spend attribution. The core workflow is now coding-agent efficiency, live repairs, workspace sessions, and verified savings.
API spend controls still matter
Teams that route application traffic through Prismo can still use provider budgets, exact API spend, model routing, alerts, and attribution tags.
That is useful when the workload is application API traffic: chat, search, extraction, support automation, or internal tools with a clear request path.
Routing gives engineering and finance a shared picture of provider spend, and policies can alert, downgrade, or block when budgets are exceeded.
Coding agents need a different loop
Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor-style workflows often run locally and do not behave like app API traffic. The waste is inside the session: repeated reads, noisy tool output, stale context, and long-running repair loops.
That is why PrismoDev does not require routing. It connects locally, syncs aggregate efficiency telemetry, and lets the cloud dashboard coordinate repairs and verification.
When teams need both, they can use both: PrismoDev for agent efficiency and optional routing for application API spend.
The product story
Prismo is an agent control plane first. The homepage, docs, and launch story should lead with live agent control, saved workspace sessions, and verified savings.
Routing remains a supporting control for teams that also need provider-level spend management.
