I Built Bu0y — Stop Paying Full Price For Your AI Agents

If you run a coding agent, a trading bot, or anything else that talks to a model all day, you already know the subscription isn't what costs you. The tokens are. Leave an agent working on a repo for an afternoon and it'll chew through more than most people use in a month.

So I built bu0y.com.

Same models, less money

Bu0y sources capacity from third-party resellers and passes the price on to you. Not a cheaper model pretending to be a good one — the same model you're already using, at what it actually sells for rather than what the sticker says.

One key gets you the whole catalog.

Using it takes about a minute

If your tool lets you set a custom API address — Cursor, Cline, Roo, or your own script — you paste in the Bu0y address and your Bu0y key, pick a model from the catalog, and you're done. Same model, same behaviour, smaller bill. Nothing gets rewritten, and if you don't like it you paste the old settings back.

Where people notice it most:

• Coding agents, which are the hungriest thing most of us run
• Bots that run unattended — anything on a schedule or watching a feed, where the difference compounds every single day
• Models you'd normally skip, because one key covers all of them. Swap the name and see whether the cheaper one is good enough for the job. It usually is.

You pay in crypto

The part I suspect this crowd will like: it's prepaid USDC, on Solana or Base.

No card, no invoice, no minimum, no sales call. You top up, you spend it down, and when you stop you stop — nothing quietly billing you for a seat you forgot about. If you've ever tried to pay for AI from somewhere the big providers don't care to serve, or you just don't want another card sitting on file with another AI company, that's the whole feature on its own.

Your agents can pay for themselves

My favourite part. An agent with its own wallet can get itself set up and keep itself funded in USDC, with no human anywhere in the loop.

If you've built anything meant to run on its own, you know funding is usually where "autonomous" quietly stops being true — there's always someone topping up an account at 2am. Not here.

Go and look at the prices

I'm not going to throw savings percentages at you. Numbers in a blog post are worth nothing and they'd be out of date by the time you read this.

The catalog is public and the prices move constantly. Open it, find the model you're already paying for, and put the two side by side. That comparison is the entire argument.

bu0y.com — grab a key, send a few dollars of USDC, point one agent at it. Move the rest over only if the first one convinces you.

I'm in the comments if you want a hand pointing something at it.
