👋 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 🔔 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! 🙏

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. 🙂
