Navige
Product Hunt Kate Ramakaieva
Navige is launching on Product Hunt to cut AI agent costs while jobs run. It reroutes easy requests, caches repeats, and still lets your main model handle the risky stuff.

Navige is pitching a simple promise with a lot of appeal: let AI agents keep working, but make them cheaper to run. The product uses what it calls Sufficiency Intelligence to send suitable requests to smaller models, cache repeated reads, and trim bulky tool results before they start chewing through spend.
The interesting part is that it does this without forcing a full switch. If Navige is unsure, it keeps the model you already chose. That matters because a lot of cost-cutting tools get aggressive fast and end up trading savings for weird behavior. This one is clearly trying to stay out of the way unless it has a safe place to intervene.
It also adds controls that speak directly to the messiest parts of agent deployment: budgets, runaway loops, and sensitive actions that need approval. And there’s a practical layer on top of that. Users can see costs and savings by job, with estimates clearly labelled, so the savings story doesn’t hide behind hand-wavy dashboards.
One other detail stands out: Watchtower is free forever. Navige is also letting people preview changes before turning controls on, which is the kind of cautious rollout that usually means the team knows where the sharp edges are. For companies trying to run agents at scale, the pitch here is not speed for its own sake. It’s control, visibility, and a bill that doesn’t spiral when the agents start talking to each other too much.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the right instinct: stop treating every agent request like it deserves the full luxury treatment. The industry keeps shipping brute-force AI and then acting surprised when the bill looks like a crime scene. Tools that throttle the waste without pretending to be magic are the adult version of AI infrastructure.
