Connect once, track everything
All your providers, one dashboard.

The problem
Your AI bill is a black box.
Your AI spend is growing and nobody can tell you where the money goes. One number on an invoice—no attribution, no waste detection, no alerts.

With CogsLayer
What you get
Track. Understand. Save.
Full visibility into your AI spend—from individual calls to company-wide cost reports—with automatic savings recommendations.
Every call tracked. Every dollar attributed.
Drop-in SDK wrappers for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini capture cost, tokens, and latency on every call. @cogslayer.track tags spend to features and teams. Agent sessions grouped automatically.
Spend by team, model, and feature — with actual billed costs.
Your dashboard shows where the money goes. Connect provider keys to pull actual invoiced amounts and compare them against token-based estimates. Budget alerts fire before you overspend.
Waste flagged. Savings tracked. ROI proven.
CogsLayer analyzes your usage patterns to flag waste — duplicate prompts, retry bloat, oversized models. Apply optimization rules and track realized savings in a ledger that proves ROI.
How it works
Connect. See. Save.
Two lines of code or one API key. Full cost visibility and savings recommendations from day one.
