💸 Watch What AI Actually Costs

Our AI bill goes up every month and nobody can explain it. Build me a spend monitoring app. Track cost by tool, by division and, most importantly, by approved use case, so spend can be explained rather than only totalled. Set a budget per division and per use case and show spend against it with the burn rate and a projection for the period. Compare actual spend against the cost estimated when the use case was approved, and flag anything materially over. Alert on thresholds as they are approached rather than when the invoice arrives. Add an AI agent that reviews spend and tells me plainly which use cases cost the most relative to the benefit claimed when they were approved, which are growing fastest, and where the same work appears to be being done by an expensive tool when a cheaper approved one exists. Automate three things: a threshold alert to the division owner, a scheduled monthly spend report, and an immediate alert on any unusual single day spike. Two logins: a division owner who sees their own spend and budget, and a governance owner who sees everything.
