New AI Tool Finds Answers Faster and Cheaper
This AI could cut your search time by 75% while saving you money on cloud bills
Imagine asking an AI assistant a question and getting a perfect answer in seconds — not minutes — without it wasting time or money digging through useless information. That’s what SchemaRouter promises to do for AI systems.
Most AI helpers today either search everything (slow and expensive) or guess what you need (often wrong). SchemaRouter acts like a GPS for AI, mapping out exactly which tools and data it should use before searching. Instead of making the AI read an entire library, it picks the right sections first, like a librarian who already knows which shelf to check.
In tests, this approach worked remarkably well. On 110 specialized science questions, it answered correctly 71% of the time — nearly matching the accuracy of searching everything (71% vs. 66%). But it used only 227 tokens (bits of data) compared to 2,066 for the old method, and it ran 2.7 times faster. It also made sure to credit sources 62% of the time, which is rare in AI today.
The key insight? Letting AI pick less data doesn’t hurt accuracy — but picking the wrong data does. SchemaRouter shows that being selective isn’t just cheaper; it can be smarter too.
- SchemaRouter cuts AI search costs by 90% by picking only needed tools and data
- It answers questions correctly 71% of the time — nearly as well as searching everything
- It runs 2.7x faster and properly credits sources 62% of the time
