Tracking the cost for multiple API calls is a pain. So I Built this ...
Since the Community category states “Topics should be related to what is happening in the news, sharing cool projects you are working on, and conversations around AI safety,” I thought I should share a project I built end-to-end here.
Pretty sure there’s people in here using tools such as n8n, Make, and/or Zapier to orchestrate workflows involving various AI tools. You might have scenarios calling OpenAI for text generation or even image/video generation AI tools as well.
But here’s the annoying thing. While those services simplify the automation, tracking the combined cost of all those different AI API calls, including OpenAI API calls, within your workflows is anything but simple. How much does that complex customer support automation really cost per run, factoring in every AI module it touches? I found myself manually writing scripts to log data or making rough guesses, lacking a clear, unified view.
I was frustrated. So I built AIBillingDashboard.
So, I built this because managing the costs of my own, and others, multi-step AI automations was becoming unmanageable.
How are you tracking the AI costs generated within your workflows? Any clever workarounds or major challenges?
