πŸ‘‹ Hey ProductHunt, I'm excited to be back with a new tool for all the AI enthusiasts! As someone who's built a few AI products integrating with OpenAI, I want to keep track of my API costs and identify any instances of abuse or runaway apps. There are tools where you can go and put in an API key to see your usage - but I wanted passive monitoring. So, I built AI Spend - an intelligent monitoring tool that synchronizes your API usage per model in cost, tokens, and requests in an encrypted database. This data is then presented to you in an easy-to-understand dashboard. The best part? Even if you don't have time to dig into the dashboard, AI Spend sends you daily, weekly, and monthly notifications πŸ”” of your spending (including some analytics), making it easy to stay on top of any changes in your API usage. Using AI Spend, you can analyze cost trends, track which models you're using the most, and optimize the number of tokens you're sending with each request. I've focused on making onboarding as quick and easy as possible, but I'd love your feedback on how to make AI Spend even better. Give it a try and let me know what you think; thanks! πŸ™

This sounds like a great tool for businesses. Can you elaborate on how the notifications work? Overall, AI Spend seems like a useful solution for managing costs and getting insights into usage.

@shushant_lakhyani Thanks for your interest! The notifications are straightforward: you get an email every day with the spend of the last day, and as compared to the day before. The same per week and per month. That way, you can grasp the trends. I'm also looking to add alert notifications in the future that'll email you when the cost grows astronomical during the day.

Dude last night i noticed my OpenAI API costs were up like 100x in the last 2 days. And their analytics show basically nothing. Someone started abusing my free AI tool. Seems like i am the perfect user for AI Spend! I will try it in the next couple of days for sure.

This UI looks excellent and I love the idea. If an alternative model like Bard becomes popular in the future, will you support it here?

@evanwherchek Thanks, Evan! And yes, I do plan on adding more API providers like Azure, Bard, Claude, etc. in the future - but keep the same functionality across all of them. πŸ™‚

Congrats on the launch πŸš€ This will be definitely life saver for the unexpected uses πŸ˜„ OpenAI dashboard lacks explanation and I find it difficult to understand what caused the surge in usage

Oh someone has done it then lol actually 2 people both in the same week 🫢🏻 do I get it for few πŸ˜‚ ai or any thing typing or speech to text or too do with productivity on the outside the box level could earn a fortune with my brain! Not, just ideas but how to get the best ai data for difference, speech patterns, people that put incorrect triggers to it because of the way our brains works. Example you don’t go and give a genius age work college work today, so without you, ai give them the most difficult people to understand to learn from one is it still intelligence. But this is exactly the application. I said two weeks ago to be created a keeping track of what we are getting while using ai! Yes, I want picked up on my other idea what I’ve just added in this comment lol πŸ˜‚ well done. I’ll let you know what I think.🫢🏻

This would be great with Palm API as well, which is the new google version. I've been using both together,
