About Guardrail by NeatProxy
Guardrail by NeatProxy is a developer-focused local proxy designed to bring full visibility and control to your AI spending before costs spiral out of control. Created out of real-world frustration with runaway AI agent bills, Guardrail offers a preventative solution for developers building and running AI-driven workflows.
Functioning as a local proxy for tools like Claude Code and Codex, Guardrail breaks down exact spending across system prompts, tool usage, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Rather than notifying you after a budget has already been exceeded, Guardrail actively intervenes by blocking requests before they execute, ensuring you stay strictly within budget limits.

About FeatQ
FeatQ is a specialized feature-voting board designed for founders and development teams building products with AI coding agents. In an era where coding agents can ship almost any feature in a day, deciding what to build next is often the hardest part of the process. FeatQ solves this bottleneck by providing a centralized feedback board where your users can submit and rank their feature requests.
With FeatQ, your coding agent can pull the top-voted user request directly over MCP (Model Context Protocol) as a build-ready specification. The platform integrates seamlessly with popular tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT. Once the feature is complete and marked as done, FeatQ automatically publishes the changelog and emails every user who voted for that feature. Getting started is incredibly simple, requiring just a single prompt pasted into your agent.
