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.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Kevin, Product Lead behind Rippling AI Spend Console.
We built AI Spend Console because every company is adopting AI and costs are growing quickly. As a result, companies lack the infrastructure to track and manage AI spend as a new expense category. We faced this problem at Rippling.
In response, Finance teams manually pull data from vendor billing dashboards and run ad-hoc analyses just to get a point-in-time view of spend. And even then, you can see what you’re spending but not which teams, departments, or models drive the increase, and whether it’s improving business outcomes or employee productivity.
What AI Spend Console is:
AI Spend Console gives you a clear view of AI spend, connects it to business outcomes, and governs the use of approved LLMs. You can get started for free, no Rippling subscription required.
Unlike simple usage dashboards or point solutions, Rippling maps AI spend to employee attributes (such as department, team, and role) and GitHub output data (such as pull request volume and number of code revisions).
Rippling AI generates personalized dashboards using your connected data. You can even ask follow-up questions in natural language to drill down into spend and usage patterns. You can enforce policies on token spend and model access based on organizational data such as an employee’s department, team, or role*.
AI Spend Console can help you:
Know what's driving your AI bill. Break down spend by vendor, model, or individual employee in a single view.
Understand the value of spend. Map AI spend to business metrics like performance ratings or pull request volume, so you can flag inefficient use.
Control AI access and spend*. Enforce model access policies based on employee attributes, then automatically route AI requests to approved LLMs.
How it works:
Connect AI vendors (Anthropic, OpenAI Codex, Cursor), GitHub, and your employee data
Rippling AI builds you a custom dashboard based on your connected data
You can ask follow-up questions in natural language and share dashboards with anyone in your company
What we believe:
Your AI investment is like any other investment. You should only spend $$$ if it translates into actual ROI. You can’t understand that from a vendor billing dashboard.
You need to see all your AI spend in one place, tied to the teams, roles, and departments driving it, and connected to the business outcomes it's producing. Without that org context, spend is just a number. Rippling AI Spend Console gives you all three.
We'd love your feedback on:
Where the experience feels magical
What third-party integrations you'd like to see us add next
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
Congrats on the launch! Can we export the AI spend data directly into our main reporting workflows?
This is amazing, nice work Rippling team! Quite literally yesterday I asked Codex to build me a better bill tracker / spend tracker to minimize and negotiate for me, so this comes at the perfect time!! Will reach out to my rep!
So this lets you compare individual members of your team on something like (making this up) cost-per-code-revision?
The interesting thing about AI Spend Console is that it goes beyond “who spent what.” AI tools spread fast across teams, and the real challenge is tying usage, ownership, approvals, and ROI back to the org. Rippling has a natural advantage here because the employee, app, and spend context is already connected.
Congrats on the launch, this sounds like a huge help for finance leaders!
Love seeing products that solve operational complexity instead of adding to it. juat curious, which module tends to deliver the fastest ROI for new customers: HR, IT, payroll, or spend management?
Very excited to see this launch! We set out to build something that wasn't just a typical dashboard, but a cool dashboard. We didn't want you to just see what was happening, but learn about patterns and get recommendations on what to do instead.
Since we started building this, I've used it to check my own usage, my team's usage, and company-wide trends. When something stood out, I could just ask Rippling AI "where did you get that information?" or "what led you to that insight?" and dig right in. Honestly, the best part is how fun it is to see the responses come back.
Congrats on the launch! 🚀 This looks like a really useful addition for finance teams.
I was curious, how does AI Spend Console handle approval workflows or policy exceptions? For example, can it understand company specific spending policies and flag or approve requests accordingly?
Wow what an amazing launch!! Can I integrate with Claude? Would love to be able to track spend there.
Wow! This is super exciting! Is Rippling already using this internally? Has it influenced any vendor spend decisions?
Lots of great AI launches from Rippling this year, but this one feels special. It tackles a problem we're all navigating: how to spend on AI efficiently. Getting a shared source of truth for AI spend, connected to how it actually affects productivity, is so valuable. Proud of what everyone built here!
Congratulations on the new launch, so exciting to see! Do you integrate with Claude? This is what we use internally.
This is huge for finance leaders who are trying to wrangle in AI usage at their companies.
Congrats on the launch! Are we able to impose aggregate limits on AI usage per employee using the console?
