The workflow

How it works in practice

1

Set a budget for each AI provider or for total AI spend in one place.

2

Pace-to-forecast warns you mid-month when AI spend is trending over budget, via Slack, email, or webhook.

3

Anomaly detection adds same-day alerts when a spike starts, so budget alerts are proactive, not retrospective.

Real scenarios

When this use case fires

AI spend trends over budget mid-month with no warning

A provider has no native budget alert at all

A spike blows the AI budget before the invoice reveals it

No single budget spans every AI provider

AI providers have weak or no budget alerting, and what exists fires after the spend has happened.

A single AI budget needs to span many providers, which native tools cannot do.

Teams want to be warned mid-month — on pace — not told at the invoice that the budget was blown.
