What engineering leaders say about nexos.ai

Marijus Briedis

CTO

NordVPN

“nexos.ai helped us reduce coding-agent LLM costs by 46% without changing our prompts, models, or developer workflows. The optimization was transparent to our engineers, while giving us much better visibility into AI usage and spend.”

Dainius Kavoliūnas

Head of Product

Hostinger Horizons

“Integrating nexos.ai was seamless. It saved us the equivalent of two yearly salaries in development cost.”

Juras Juršėnas

COO

Oxylabs

“nexos.ai has significantly accelerated our AI transformation journey. With seamless access to the latest models and transparent cost management, we’ve gained both agility and clarity.”

Romas Strabeika

CIO and Head of IT

Pigu.lt

“nexos.ai transformed the core of our e-commerce operations. What would have taken us three years and millions of euros to accomplish manually, we achieved in just six weeks at a fraction of the cost.”

Boyko Karadzhov

Co-Founder and CTO

Payhawk

“Teams were exploring AI independently: great for innovation, but terrible for coordination, compliance, and budget. We needed a centralized platform that maintained security and let all teams benefit from AI at the same time.”
