AI Spend Console by Rippling - Track your AI spend and connect it to business outcomes

AI Spend Console gives Finance and Engineering leaders one place to track AI spend across tools (such as Claude and Cursor) and connect it to business outcomes. Break costs down by vendor, model, or employee, then connect spend to GitHub output data like pull request volume and the # of code revisions. You can get started for free–no Rippling subscription required.

Really impressive launch, Kevin 👏 The AI Spend Console feels like a game-changer for finance and ops teams—finally a way to see not just what you’re spending, but why and where it’s driving outcomes. Love that it ties usage directly to business metrics and productivity, instead of leaving spend as just a number. Excited to see how this helps companies make smarter AI investments! Congratulations!

 Thanks for the support!

 Invest smarter, not harder, that's the goal!

Which AI vendor integration was the most requested by early users?

 Definitely Cursor and Claude!

 Would love to hear which you're thinking about connected, Sawyer!

How did you decide which GitHub metrics actually show AI value?

 We worked very closely with Rippling Engineering leaders to understand what would actually be valuable. They wanted to see core metrics like PR volume or cost per PR and then interestingly, metrics like AI-assisted code that shows high rework/high revisions.

What was the hardest part of connecting spend with outcomes?

   There were definitely a few challenges. Here are 2 that come to mind on my end:

  • Tracking progress and coordinating lots of different kinds of asynchronous events

  • APIs can be slow to connect and also stream data from so we had to fix that

Can the dashboard compare spending trends over time, so teams can whether new workflows are actually becoming more efficient?

 Yes! It can show you spending trends over time. For example, you could see AI spend over time by department or AI spend over time by model.

  This is a great use case! You can also pair those spend trends with GitHub output data so you can see whether it's translating into more or better output over that same period.

 Yes! Your dashboards will go back to the beginning of your usage, and you can filter to a specific date range. It will also point out how you're trending for the time being so you can see if there's an outlier that you need to take action on.

What use case are you most excited about so far?!

 I'm super excited for the GitHub use cases! For example, you could ask Rippling AI to build you a spend and usage dashboard that shows PRs across the team against individual usage.

This is huge for finance leaders who are trying to wrangle in AI usage at their companies.

 The control is back in your hands! Let us know what you think!

Congratulations on the new launch, so exciting to see! Do you integrate with Claude? This is what we use internally.

 Thanks for the support! Yes, we integrate with Claude. We also connect to OpenAI and Cursor.

 Yes! You can connect Claude Code or Claude Enterprise!

Super cool!

 Thanks for the support, Annacy!

This is incredible - I'm on a bizops team and we noticed people were blowing through tokens without any real or obvious ROI...

This solves all our problems

 We hope you like it! The ROI is the stickler -- how do I show that I've gotten ROI through higher quality work? I even generated a dashboard that even answers the question, are people doing high quality work better, or smaller tasks faster?

 so happy to hear that! Thanks for supporting our launch!
