FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — April 7, 2026
Signal Loom AI Launches LoomLensAI™, the First Cost-Intelligence Platform Built for AI Developers
Pre-flight cost estimates across 19+ AI models give developers the pricing transparency the industry has needed — and nobody else is delivering
PACIFIC NORTHWEST — April 7, 2026 — Signal Loom AI today announced the public launch of LoomLensAI™, what it believes is the first dedicated cost-intelligence platform specifically designed for AI developers and teams building products on top of large language models. LoomLensAI lets any developer know exactly what a prompt will cost before it runs — across GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, MiniMax, and more — in a single call.
The timing is deliberate. As AI inference costs become a primary budget line for development teams, and as token-per-query bills reach tens of thousands of dollars per month at scale, Signal Loom AI argues that the industry lacks a fundamental tool that other software sectors take for granted: a price tag visible before you buy.
The Problem: AI Costs Are Invisible Until You Get the Bill
Industry analysis suggests that enterprise AI development teams running 50 developers on 10 AI queries per day — a modest workload — can generate $25,000 or more per month in inference costs, with a significant portion driven not by model reasoning, but by input token overhead: context re-reading, conversation history accumulation, and redundant file processing across sessions.
The root cause, according to Signal Loom AI, is structural. Every major AI coding assistant and developer platform today — including Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot — operates without a persistent cost model. Each prompt re-processes the full context from scratch. Developers have no standard tool to see what a given prompt will cost before they send it.
LoomLensAI was built to close that gap.
What LoomLensAI Does
LoomLensAI™ is a pre-flight cost intelligence API and interface. Developers submit a prompt and select target models; LoomLensAI returns a precise cost-per-call estimate using live provider pricing across 19+ models, including:
- GPT-5.3, GPT-4o, GPT-4o Mini
- Claude Opus 4, Claude Sonnet 4
- Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash
- DeepSeek Chat v3
- Grok-3
- MiniMax M2.7
- And 11 more
Key capabilities:
- Instant cost estimates — know your per-call cost before the model runs, across every major provider
- Multi-model comparison — route to the most cost-effective model that meets your quality requirements
- Prompt complexity analysis — understand how context size affects your bill token-by-token
- Developer SDK — embed cost intelligence directly into pipelines, CI/CD, or internal tooling
- Developer revenue share — developers embedding LoomLensAI earn 25% on every estimate call, plus an additional 25% on all downstream Signal Loom AI transcription calls routed through their integration
Pricing:
- Free tier: 3 estimates per day, unlimited model previews
- Developer plan: $0.10 per estimate — embed it, earn on it, pass costs to end users
- Pro: $15/month for 1,000 estimates/month
- Enterprise: Custom volume pricing available
Quote
“LoomLensAI started with a simple observation: every time a developer runs a prompt, they’re spending money they can’t see, on a cost they can’t predict, for a result they won’t understand until the bill arrives. We built the tool we wished existed. The developer community has been asking for this — someone just had to build it.”
— Traves Brady, Founder and CEO, Signal Loom AI
About Signal Loom AI
