Walkthrough: Reducing token spend by 80%

Same work, a fifth of the usage

A real case from 19 September 2026. The studio's weekly allowance of AI use was draining fast, five points in one hour. The Project Manager found why: in a long conversation, every new message sends the whole conversation again. It rolled out three changes to every agent at once, and the meter slowed to two points in two and a half hours. The next day it checked its own claim against the logs, found each turn about seven times cheaper, and wrote the change into how the studio works.
