Foglight for AI Cost

Description

AI spend is scattered across Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor, xAI, and DeepSeek — each with its own console, invoice cadence, and billing lag. Operators cannot answer “what did we spend this month?” without opening five portals, and prepaid credits can run out without warning.

Foglight for AI Cost is an SMA cartridge that polls each vendor’s admin or billing API with a read-only key and lands the results in Foglight. One agent instance monitors one provider account; the Environment dashboard rolls every instance into a single fleet view with history and alerting.

Business Challenge

Usage-based AI bills surprise finance at month end. Engineering owns the keys; finance owns the budget. Nobody owns the cross-vendor total, and a spike on one model or team is easy to miss until the invoice lands.

Foglight for AI Cost gives both sides the same surface: month-to-date spend and month-end forecast against budget, spend by model, team, project, and user, prepaid balance runway, and alarms when spend, forecast, or collection goes wrong.

Key Features

Month-to-date spend and month-end forecast against a per-account budget, with history so you can spot a trend before it becomes an overrun.

Spend broken down by model, team, project, and user — plus prepaid balance runway for vendors that expose credits.

Alarms for budget, forecast, spend spikes, low runway, and collection failures. Nothing is installed on the vendor side; agents use read-only admin keys only.
