Stop handing your team raw API keys. PoolGuard is a shared AI budget pool with per-member guardrails: the owner funds one wallet and connects their OpenAI/Anthropic key (encrypted server-side, never exposed). Each teammate gets their own key drawing from the pool, with daily/monthly caps and hard 402 cutoffs the second anyone blows their budget. Owner dashboard shows pool balance, per-member burn, and who-tripped-the-cutoff alerts. Free tier for 1 team; Pro $19/mo per team.
