Cognocient
Cut your AI spend without cutting your AI usage
Most AI cost tools alert you after the damage. Cognocient enforces budgets before the API call goes out stopping runaway agentic loops in real time, not after the invoice. Change one line of code to attribute costs by feature, team, or department. Get CFO-ready PDF reports on cost-per-outcome automatically. Plus dev tools for token-maxing detection, context tax analysis, and FOCUS 1.1 export. Built for teams who ship fast and still need to know where the budget's going.
🚨 Stop Unexpected AI Bills Before They Happen: Meet Cognocient 🚨
Hi Product Hunt! I am Mandar, solo founder of Cognocient.
I built Cognocient after watching an agentic loop rack up $4,811 in API costs overnight because a bug in the retry logic went unnoticed until the invoice arrived. By then, it was too late to do anything but wince and fix the code. Every tool I found only showed me the damage after it happened, none could actually prevent it.
Cognocient enforces budgets before the call goes out, if your AI agent or workflow is about to blow through its budget, the request gets stopped at the source, not flagged three days later in a dashboard. Cognocient is for AI teams, engineers, and finance leads who need real-time guardrails for costs.
A few things I am especially proud of:
* One-line code change to attribute costs by feature or team, without restructuring your logging setup
* CFO-ready reports that turn raw token logs into cost per outcome, so you're not manually building spreadsheets before board meetings.
* FOCUS 1.1 export support, so finance teams can standardize on it.
This is very much a live, evolving product. I'm building it in the open and would love your honest feedback, especially if you've ever been burned by a surprise AI bill.
Please try Cognocient, upvote if it helps you, and let me know what you think! Happy to answer any questions about the architecture, the FOCUS export, or how budget enforcement actually works under the hood.
Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
