We burned the budget.
Then we built the fix.
Traeco is AI cost visibility for engineering teams. Built by people who felt the pain firsthand.
How we got here
We were building AI agents. The bills were invisible until they weren't.
Between the four of us, we'd burned through more in compute costs than we'd care to admit. We were running agents, iterating on prompts, debugging pipelines. The frustrating part wasn't the cost. It was that we never saw it coming. By the time we noticed, the damage was done.
Nobody had a good answer for how to track this. So we built Traeco. A single place to see exactly what your AI agents are costing, where the waste is, and what to do about it. Not just observability for its own sake. Visibility that drives decisions.
We focus on AI agents so you can focus on human-centric choices.
The team
Four builders. One shared frustration.
Mehek Mandal
Product
Keeps the team focused on what customers actually need. Turns ambiguous problems into clear direction.
Margaret Luwena
Design
Makes complex data feel simple. Believes the best interface is the one that disappears.
Kyna Rochlani
Engineering
Builds things that actually work in production. Deep intolerance for flaky systems.
Sania Gupta
Engineering
Turns hard infrastructure problems into elegant APIs. Ships fast, breaks things on purpose (in staging).
What we believe
Three principles that decide every call.
Listen first, ship after.
Every feature starts with a real customer conversation. Speed without signal is just waste.
We've been the customer.
Every product decision we make, we've felt its absence ourselves. That's not a marketing line. It's why Traeco exists.
Agents handle the economics.
The point of AI cost visibility isn't to think more about money. It's to think less. Traeco takes that off your plate.
Stop guessing. Start saving.
Send us a week of traces and we'll show you exactly where the money goes.
