Most AI founders are burning 40% of their API budget on useless tokens.
Here are 3 simple prompt-engineering hacks to stop overpaying OpenAI & Claude today: 👇
1/ Kill the politeness.
LLMs don't have feelings. Saying "Please", "Thank you", or "Could you kindly..." wastes 10-15 tokens per API call. Be direct, imperative, and clinical.
2/ Use strict XML tags instead of long sentences.
Instead of: "In the section below, you will find the instructions..."
Use: <instructions> [Your text] </instructions>
It’s cheaper for your wallet, and much easier for the LLM to parse.
3/ Set strict output boundaries.
Vague rules like "Keep it short" lead to rambling outputs (which cost you double).
Use: "Max 3 sentences" or "Output raw JSON only". Control the output length to control your bill.
