OpenBot Cuts Claude Usage 99%.

This removes a hidden quota tax from long-running agent workflows, making OpenBot’s multi-agent model substantially more practical.

• –Background status updates run every 30 seconds, so repeated context reads could quietly consume significant usage.
• –The savings matter most when several Claude agents work concurrently or remain active unattended.
• –The 99% figure applies to status-update generation, not total Claude usage across prompts, tool calls, and reasoning.
• –Using Haiku 5.5 for lightweight progress summaries is a sensible cost-quality split, though inaccurate summaries could make monitoring less reliable.
• –Lower background overhead strengthens OpenBot’s case as a persistent Claude Code workspace rather than just another chat wrapper.
