Manage cost

Why budgets?

AI usage costs money per request. Budgets let you cap spend — per person and company-wide — so there are no surprises and no runaway bills.

Set a budget when you create an assistant

oc tenants create --name alice --display-name "Alice" --email alice@example.com \
  --budget 50        # monthly cap, in USD

Adjust budgets later

oc budget set-global 5000        # company-wide monthly ceiling
oc budget global                 # show the global ceiling

oc budget set-account alice 75   # cap for one person
oc budget accounts               # all per-person caps

oc budget spend alice            # what Alice has spent this month

When someone hits their cap, their assistant pauses AI calls until the budget resets or you raise it — it never silently overspends.

Choose your AI provider

You're not tied to one vendor. Add the model providers your company uses, and switch freely:

oc providers list
oc providers set claude <api-key>
oc providers set openai <api-key>

Use Claude, GPT, or open-source models without changing anything about your assistants or skills. Budget and provider changes are recorded in the audit log.
