# AI spend

> Track foundation-model usage and cost across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and other providers.

<Note>
  **Work in progress.** AI Spend is available in the app but still marked **WIP** in the sidebar. Features and layout may change between releases. Not every workspace sees the nav item yet — open `/{orgId}/ai-spend` directly if your role has access.
</Note>

The AI spend module brings usage and cost data from foundation-model providers into the same view as the rest of your SaaS spend.

## KPIs

Four cards anchor the top of the AI Spend page:

| KPI                | What it shows                                                  |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Total Spend**    | Cumulative cost across all providers over the selected window. |
| **Daily average**  | Mean daily cost, with average cost per request.                |
| **Total requests** | Number of API calls made across all models.                    |
| **Active models**  | Count of distinct models in use, with the top model by cost.   |

## Providers

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini are supported. Use the **All providers** filter to scope the dashboard to a single vendor. Use the date filter (e.g. Last 6 months) to adjust the time window.

## Tabs

| Tab          | What it shows                                        |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Overview** | Total spend trend broken down by provider per month. |
| **Cost**     | Per-day cost breakdown.                              |
| **Models**   | Which specific models are driving spend.             |
| **Imports**  | History of CSV imports and their processing status.  |

## Spend chart

The **Spend** bar chart shows monthly spend stacked by provider. Use it to see which vendors are growing month over month.

## Token breakdown

Shows total processed tokens split between **Input Tokens** and **Output Tokens**, with percentage share for each.

## Insights

Automated callouts surface key findings such as:

* **Peak Spend Day:** the single highest-cost day and how much was spent across how many requests.
* **Average Cost Per Request:** the mean cost per API call and the cost per 1K tokens.

## Importing usage

Click **Add data** in the top-right to upload a CSV export from your AI provider. ClearSpend auto-routes the file based on its schema when possible.

For providers that require column mapping, use **Manage import labels** (`/{orgId}/ai-spend/labels`) to map CSV columns to your workspace entities before import.

<Tip>
  Most providers let you schedule a recurring CSV export. Pair that with email forwarding so AI usage flows in automatically.
