OpenRouter for Agent Tools
Business model breakdown
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Agent searches offerings, sees quoted per-call prices before calling, picks the best provider, calls it and is billed from one prepaid balance; no provider accounts or keys.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Prepaid balance with per-call pass-through prices (e.g. Firecrawl $0.002/call, Exa ~$0.001/call shown in demo); two-sided marketplace with API sellers.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Self-serve signup and setup prompt for coding agents; MCP/SDK/npm package.
