I added AI to my app in 30 minutes. Here's the actual timeline.

Not "weeks of integration." Not "reading 4 API docs." Thirty minutes.

0–2 min: Try before committing

No signup. Opened the playground, picked Kimi K3, typed my actual
use case — "review this error message and suggest a fix." It worked.
Response in ~1 second. That's when I decided to integrate.

2–5 min: One-click signup

GitHub → authorize → dashboard. Five seconds. No email. No password.
No verification code.

5–7 min: Everything handed to me

After login, an onboarding page showed my API key, a copyable curl
command, and Python SDK code. Copied the Python. Done.

7–30 min: The actual code

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key="mb-xxx", base_url="https://aibridge-api.com/v1")

def classify(text):
    return client.chat.completions.create(
        model="deepseek-chat",          # $0.27/M for the easy stuff
        messages=[{"role":"user","content":f"Classify: {text}"}],
    ).choices[0].message.content

def review(code):
    return client.chat.completions.create(
        model="kimi-k3",                # 1M context for the hard stuff
        messages=[{"role":"user","content":f"Review this for bugs:\n{code}"}],
    ).choices[0].message.content

Two functions. Same client. Cheap model for classification, reasoning
model for review. Switching is one string change.

What I didn't have to build

• Streaming — worked out of the box (stream=True)
• Function calling — worked with tools=[...]
• JSON mode — response_format={"type":"json_object"}
• Caching — one header, X-Cache-TTL: 3600

• Billing for 4 providers — one key, one bill

  What I used it for, in order

• Classification — deepseek-chat, $0.27/M

• Code review — kimi-k3, 1M context, always reasoning

• Translation — qwen-max, multilingual

• Complex reasoning — glm-4-plus
  Four jobs. One endpoint. Zero new SDKs.

Free tier is 500K tokens/month. No credit card. The playground needs
no signup, so you can do my "0–2 minutes" step right now.
