From unchecked AI spend to complete control: How Rippling built AI Spend Console
It gives CFOs and CTOs a clear view of AI spend, connects it to business outcomes, and governs the use of approved LLMs.Unlike simple usage dashboards or point solutions, AI Spend Console ties AI spend to employee attributes, so you can understand which departments, teams, or roles are driving your AI bill. We turned on AI tools for all employees, and there were no limits. We hosted hackweeks, lunch and learns, and “ship shows”.Very quickly, we saw a freight train of new expenses rolling our way.
