You only find out at month end
Staff use AI without oversight and every tool bills separately. By the time the invoice reaches finance, the number is out of control and cutting the budget is too late.

AI Sentinel · AI usage governance platform
Your team keeps using the AI tools they like; the company only needs to know four things — how much was spent, who spent it, whether it was worth it, and how much more can be saved. Connect every AI tool in one place and see it all in a single table, turning AI usage from a black box into a white box.

Three real problems with enterprise AI usage
Who is using what — unknown
A department spent a large sum, but who, on what and to what effect is a complete black box. Expense approvals have no basis and performance reviews no data.
60%+ of enterprises report no detail
Savings you cannot capture
Simple questions go to premium models, repeated questions are never cached, and lighter domestic models are never used — because nobody can see it, nobody can optimise it.

Repeated questions
Similar questions call the model again and again, wasting budget.

Frequently asked questions
The questions our clients ask most. You can also ask the AI assistant in the bottom-right corner.
What problem does AI Sentinel solve?
Runaway enterprise AI spending: staff subscribe to and call AI tools individually, so consumption is fragmented, cannot be allocated and is hard to control.
Which AI tools are supported?
20+ mainstream tools including Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, GLM, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen and Doubao.
Is onboarding complex?
No. Change one base_url to connect and you are live in 5 minutes.
How much can it save?
With visible usage, quota controls and automatic downgrade on over-limit, it typically cuts AI costs by 30-60%.
