Token Usage Reduction for AI
Software to reduce token usage in AI
In plain English
Terse is software for people who want AI to cost less to use. Many of those tools charge by how much text goes in and comes back out, and Terse works on shrinking that load. Heavy users pay a subscription because a long chat makes the bill climb. The AI does most of the shrinking, and payment collection is handled too. The person running Terse still checks quality, helps users, spreads the word, and deals with unusual cases.
