About AI Spend Console

AI Spend Console provides a unified view of AI-related costs by aggregating usage data from multiple vendors such as Anthropic, OpenAI and Cursor. The tool breaks down spend by employee attributes including team or department, enabling finance and IT leaders to identify who is spending what. Token usage can be mapped to specific business activities like pull requests and code reviews, allowing organisations to assess efficiency and flag inefficient spending patterns. Users can query spend data in plain language and generate dashboards without writing SQL. The platform supports governance by logging every AI request with details on who made it, the associated cost and its business impact. Spend controls can be configured to route requests to specific models and limit token expenditure based on employee attributes. Data access is managed through configurable permissions aligned with organisational hierarchy, ensuring appropriate visibility for employees, managers and executives.
