Hey team! I wanted to ask you a question. Suppose I want to create an app that has an agent running. When the user chat with the agent, use tokens = $$. So, maintaining the agent would cost $$. Is that correct? Or is there another alternative? One would be to charge the user a subscription fee. Thanks ❤️

Hi Eduardo!

In general, you're right, but there are a couple of ways to maintain the agent without additional costs.
1. You can use a free model from OpenRouter;
2. Or you can use the Ollama executor and the local model for debugging/developing/testing your agent;
3. Or use the testing tools from koog to debug/develop the agent.

Niceee! Thanks Anastasiia for the clarification 🫶🏽

Another option is to have the user enter their own API keys, this is not unheard of
