Track spending across multiple AI services (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS) and automatically alert teams when usage spikes or budgets are exceeded.

Workflow Steps

1

AWS Cost Explorer API

Fetch daily AI service costs

Set up scheduled API calls to retrieve costs for Bedrock, SageMaker, and other AI services. Filter by service type and time period to get granular spending data.

2

OpenAI API

Get usage and billing data

Use OpenAI's usage endpoint to fetch daily token consumption and costs. This gives you real-time visibility into GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 spending.

3

Anthropic API

Retrieve Claude usage metrics

Pull usage statistics from Anthropic's billing API to track Claude conversations and costs. Combine with other providers for total AI spend view.

4

Google Sheets

Calculate budget variance and trends

Automatically update a master spreadsheet with all AI costs. Use formulas to calculate month-over-month growth, budget remaining, and projected spend.

5

Slack

Send alerts for budget thresholds

Post automated messages when spending exceeds 80% of monthly budget or shows unusual spikes. Include breakdown by service and recommendations for optimization.
