### ๐จโ๐ป **For Developers**
**"I want to save money on my AI project"**
```bash
pip install smartllm-router
from smartllm_router import SmartRouter
# Replace this:
# import openai
# client = openai.OpenAI()
# With this:
router = SmartRouter(openai_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
response = router.chat.completions.create(
model="auto", # Saves 98%!
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
)
print(f"Saved: ${response.savings:.4f}")
Result: 98% cost reduction instantly!
