Get up and running in five minutes.
Most of what you need is in the app itself once you sign in. This page covers the big picture and the SDK integration path.
Step 1 — Sign up and optimize your first prompt
Create a free account. You get 10 EcoForge optimization runs per month with no card required — enough to try it on a real workflow before deciding anything.
Inside the app, paste any rough prompt into EcoForge. It picks a rewrite strategy automatically, shows a side-by-side comparison, and logs the run to your Savings Library.
Step 2 — Create a project and calibrate it
A project is a grouping for prompts that belong to the same workflow — customer support, code generation, documentation, whatever makes sense for you. Create one on the Library page.
Calibration teaches EcoToken how big AI responses tend to be in YOUR workflow so the savings math stays accurate. Visit /calibrate, pick a project, run the three tier prompts through your AI tool of choice, and paste each reply back. EcoToken tokenizes your reply in your browser — the text never leaves your machine. Three samples takes ~3 minutes and makes every future savings number meaningful.
Step 3 — (Optional) Install the EcoEnhanced SDK
If you want real production token usage to flow back into your Library (so you see actual spend, not just optimization deltas), install the EcoEnhanced SDK in your own codebase. It's a zero-dependency wrapper around your existing Anthropic or OpenAI SDK call.
The copy-paste snippet is generated for you with your API key already filled in at /integrate inside the app. Works in JavaScript / TypeScript and Python today; more languages on request.
The SDK intercepts your messages.create(…) call (or equivalent), captures the real input + output token counts from the provider's usage object, and POSTs a tiny log entry back to EcoToken. Your prompt text never passes through our servers via this path — only the numbers do.
Working with BYO
If you're on the BYO plan, set your Anthropic API key using the API Key button in the navbar. It opens a modal where you can paste a new key (replaces the old one on save) or remove the saved key entirely. Keys are stored AES-256-GCM encrypted and decrypted only per request.
Anthropic keys are free to create at console.anthropic.com/settings/keys. You pay Anthropic directly per-token; EcoToken only charges the $5/mo subscription.

The endpoints, request/response shapes, and rate limits are documented at /integrate once you're signed in — that page also previews the exact code snippet for your account. If you need info before signing up, email ecotoken.support@pfpendeavors.com.
