# Recovea

> One base URL change puts Recovea in the path of your provider calls: live cost, armed caps, and a receipt for every request.

Notes for readers:

- Every page here is prerendered to static HTML, so the whole text of a page is in the initial response and no JavaScript has to run to read it.
- Every page also has a Markdown twin at the same address with `.md` on the end, derived from that page's own HTML at build time. It is the cheaper read and it says the same thing.
- The pages under Policies are the agreements and policies that govern Recovea, and they are the controlling text for anything the other pages summarise.
- This file is generated from the same route list the sitemap is generated from, on every deploy.

## Use cases

- [Use cases](https://recovea.ai/use-cases/): Three jobs the request path does from day one: stop a runaway agent, cap a leaked key, explain every charge. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/use-cases.md))
- [Cap a leaked key](https://recovea.ai/use-cases/cap-a-leaked-key/): A leaked key spends into a ceiling you set in advance — on the workspace, or on that one key. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/use-cases/cap-a-leaked-key.md))
- [Explain every charge](https://recovea.ai/use-cases/explain-every-charge/): Every routed request receipted, hash-chained, and re-derivable in your own browser. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/use-cases/explain-every-charge.md))
- [Stop a runaway agent](https://recovea.ai/use-cases/stop-runaway-agent/): An armed cap refuses the request in the path, before it reaches your provider. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/use-cases/stop-runaway-agent.md))

## Docs

- [Docs](https://recovea.ai/docs/): OpenAI, Anthropic, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint through one base URL. The swap, the refusal contract, and the chain recipe. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/docs.md))
- [Run envelopes](https://recovea.ai/docs/products/breaker/): A budget one run carries. Declare it in a request header; the run stops at its own line and the others keep going. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/docs/products/breaker.md))
- [Caps and the 402 contract](https://recovea.ai/docs/products/cap/): An armed cap refuses the request before it reaches your provider, and answers 402. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/docs/products/cap.md))

- [Quickstart](https://recovea.ai/docs/quickstart/): Point your SDK at api.recovea.ai. OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-native on the same host. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/docs/quickstart.md))

## Services

- [AI Spend Assessment](https://recovea.ai/services/spend-assessment/): The product writes down where every dollar went, from your own live traffic. A founder reads it and ranks what to do about it. The fee is fixed and published. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/services/spend-assessment.md))
- [Sample report](https://recovea.ai/services/spend-assessment/sample-report/): Page one of the written findings an AI Spend Assessment delivers, over a synthetic month that regenerates from a published seed. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/services/spend-assessment/sample-report.md))

([markdown](https://recovea.ai/services/spend-assessment/sample-report/document.md))

## Company

- [About](https://recovea.ai/about/): Recovea sits in the path of your provider calls and takes no money from the parties it measures. Three cofounders, funded by what customers pay. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/about.md))
- [Contact](https://recovea.ai/contact/): Get in touch with Recovea. One form, five topics, and the three channels this company actually runs. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/contact.md))
- [The Independence Covenant](https://recovea.ai/covenant/): Four commitments about how Recovea takes money: nothing from a party we rate, never in the flow of funds, a flat fee rather than a share of spend, and no outside capital. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/covenant.md))
- [Book a demo](https://recovea.ai/demo/): Ask for a demo of Recovea. Seven fields, no scheduler, and a reply within one business day. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/demo.md))
- [Research](https://recovea.ai/research/): The open problem: deciding a cheaper model is no worse on your own traffic. And the basis vocabulary — what each word printed beside a number commits us to. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/research.md))

## Changelog

- [Changelog](https://recovea.ai/changelog/): What shipped, dated, one line each. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/changelog.md))
- [A New Plan Ladder](https://recovea.ai/changelog/a-new-plan-ladder/): Four self-serve plans replaced the previous ladder: Developer, Team, Growth and Scale. Each carries its own included band of routed spend, and seats stay unlimited on every one of them. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/changelog/a-new-plan-ladder.md))
- [Caps on a Single API Key](https://recovea.ai/changelog/caps-on-a-single-api-key/): A budget scoped to one API key is now enforced in the request path. The capped key is refused with HTTP 402 before the provider is called, and other keys in the same workspace keep working. Refusals are counted on the dashboard as they land. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/changelog/caps-on-a-single-api-key.md))
- [One Base URL](https://recovea.ai/changelog/one-base-url/): The gateway serves the OpenAI and Anthropic wire formats on a single base URL, so a workspace points at one host whichever of the two it speaks. The earlier per-format path still resolves. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/changelog/one-base-url.md))
- [Recovea Breaker](https://recovea.ai/changelog/recovea-breaker/): A Recovea Breaker is a spend budget one run carries, declared in a request header. The call that crosses it is refused with HTTP 402 before the provider is called, and the run stays tripped until a person starts a new one. A Breaker only tightens the caps above it, never loosens them, and it is on every plan including Free. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/changelog/recovea-breaker.md))
- [The Recovea CLI](https://recovea.ai/changelog/the-recovea-cli/): The recovea scan command reads your provider usage on your own machine and projects a month of spend from it. It needs no Recovea account and uploads nothing. The tool is published on npm under the MIT licence. ([markdown](https://recovea.ai/changelog/the-recovea-cli.md))
