Keeping AI spending in check

Budgets for the company, a unit, a person and an agent, with a warning before the limit and a pause at it.

A coin

AI work costs money every time a model is called. Left alone, the bill grows in places nobody is watching. TeamUP puts a limit where the spending happens.

Four places to set a limit

  • The whole company.
  • A business unit.
  • A person.
  • An agent: a monthly token budget and a daily cap on actions.

A warning first, then a pause

At 80% of a budget a warning is raised. At 100% the work pauses, so a runaway job cannot keep spending while nobody looks.

See where it went

The admin console shows what AI spent per unit and per person, next to the limits that are set, so a budget conversation starts from numbers.

Model usage is billed by the model provider you choose. It is not part of the TeamUP seat price.
In short
  • Limits for the company, a unit, a person and an agent.
  • A warning at 80%, a pause at 100%.
  • Spend is shown per unit and per person.
