Product Idea from this Signal

A proxy service that automatically reroutes AI agent inference requests across providers when any single provider bans, throttles, or rate-limits the agent framework

Anthropic banned OpenClaw from Claude subscriptions (50x cost increase for third-party harnesses). Google restricted AI Pro usage for OpenClaw. These bans break production agent setups overnight with zero warning. Developers need a proxy layer between their agent and model providers that detects bans/throttles in real-time and fails over to equivalent models on alternative providers without code changes.
