Show HN: Paylooop – Cost visibility for AI agents

Hi HN, I’m Yahya, founder of Rocket Money (formerly Truebill, YC W16). I’m working with a team to launch Payloop, a lightweight infrastructure layer that helps teams understand the real costs of deploying AI agents - across tasks, workflows, and customers.

Here's a quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-GkSl_7imY

Most companies today can't see what it actually costs to deploy their agents, making it nearly impossible to manage margins or price confidently. Payloop solves this with an elegant approach: just a single line of code gives you real-time visibility into cost per task, agent, and customer.

This becomes especially critical as teams run multiple LLMs to power different queries for the same customer. Payloop shows the true costs in real time, helping teams preserve gross margins and avoid costly surprises while scaling.

By showing exactly what's driving cost and value, Payloop becomes the source of truth for agent economics, helping companies scale agents with confidence.

We just opened up early access to our beta, available here - https://trypayloop.com/yc - and would love your feedback!
