Your AI is wasting compute (and you're paying for it)

What Amazap unlocks for you

Every shortcut and tool shows one price before your AI uses it. That price is the whole price.

What the wasted compute costs you today

AI models charge by the token, a small chunk of text (often part of a word). When your AI opens a web page, it doesn't just read the article. It reads all the hidden code behind the page too: menus, buttons, ads, tracking. You pay for all of it.

Here's what that looks like in real numbers from our tests, on a popular AI model that charges $2 per million tokens (the price of models like Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol and Gemini 3.1 Pro):

But I don't get a bill per page. If you use a monthly plan like Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus, you won't see these costs as a bill. If you or your company pays for AI by usage, they show up on the invoice.

When it's not worth it: if your AI already gets a clean, plain-text copy of pages, the savings are small. On the lowest-priced models, reading already costs so little that a shortcut priced about $0.01 (around 12 sats) rarely pays for itself. We'd rather tell you that up front. How we tested

How it works

1. Add Amazap to your AI app. In Claude, it's one step: paste https://amazap.com/mcp as a connector and choose Approve. That works on every Claude plan, including Free. Free allows one custom connector. ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code work too. (Amazap connects through MCP, the standard way AI apps plug in outside tools.)
2. Add a little money. Ask your AI to top up. It shows a payment code you pay from any Lightning wallet, a Bitcoin payment app. A few hundred sats covers dozens of shortcuts. (A "sat" is the smallest unit of bitcoin; about $0.01 (around 12 sats).)
3. Just ask. Your AI picks the right shortcut, shows you the price, and uses it. You set the limits: every purchase has a spending cap, and your AI can only spend what you added.

If something fails, you get it back. If a paid shortcut doesn't work, the price goes back to your balance as credit.

Add Amazap to Claude (works on every Claude plan, including Free), then top up a few sats.

We test our own tools, and publish the results

• Web pages: we tested 20 real pages. Page to Markdown made them 98% smaller for your AI to read and kept 94% of the main text. Read the test
• Failed builds: we tested 9 real build logs. Log Squeezer cut 95% to 99.5% of the reading and kept the cause of the failure on all 4 logs where reading the last 200 lines found none of it. Read the test
• Honest limits: some websites block automated visitors, and our page reader can't get past them. Blocked calls are credited back.

For developers: one connection, about 1,200 paid tools

The detail behind card 2. Through one MCP server, your agent can search about 1,200 pay-per-call listings (about 140 of them L402), get a quote, and buy a single call. No account with each provider and no API keys to manage.

• Quote, then buy. Every buy carries a hard cap (max_total_sats). If the real price is higher, nothing is charged.
• One balance. Top up once over Lightning; per-call and per-day limits apply.
• Failed calls credited back. Automatically when caught, or by claim within 72 hours.
• Payments: Amazap pays each seller over L402, Lightning Labs' "pay, then call" standard for APIs.

How selling works

Put your endpoint behind L402, paste the URL, and Amazap lists it. Anyone with a working L402 endpoint can list, from any country.

1. Get paid over Lightning. We use and recommend Amboss Payments. (Amazap earns a referral credit if you sign up through this link.) Any Lightning wallet that issues invoices works.
2. Put your endpoint behind L402. The starter kit has Node and Python code.
3. Paste your URL. Amazap checks it and fills in the listing.

Common questions

What is Amazap, in one sentence?

Amazap gives your AI valuable shortcuts that save it money and reading: for example, it reads a web page for about $0.01 (around 12 sats) instead of around 20 cents' worth of tokens.

Do I need to be technical?

No. If you use Claude, you add Amazap once as a connector, add a little money, and then just ask your AI as usual. It picks the shortcut and shows you the price.

What does it cost?

Each shortcut has one price, shown before your AI uses it: for example about $0.01 (around 12 sats) to read a web page, or about $0.008 (around 10 sats) for a build log. Adding Amazap is free.

What are sats and Lightning?

A sat is the smallest unit of bitcoin. Lightning is a fast way to send small bitcoin payments. You pay once from a Lightning wallet app to fill your Amazap balance; your AI spends from that.

I pay a monthly plan. Does this save me anything?

You won't see a smaller bill. Your AI still reads far less: 98% less on a typical page in our test. The money savings are for people and companies who pay for AI by usage.

Can my AI overspend?

No. It can only spend what you added, every purchase has a price cap, and there are per-call and per-day limits.

What if a shortcut doesn't work?

The price goes back to your balance as credit, automatically when the failure is caught, or by claim within 72 hours.

Which AI apps work with it?
