Short answer

How can I track my AI API costs?

Your agent pulls live data from Eden AI to check your remaining credits and current consumption levels. This gives you a real-time view of what you're spending across different providers. You'll see exactly where your budget is going.

Spending visibility.

Where your data lands.

The AI organizes your spending information into these specific views.

BALANCE

USAGE

Cost tracking

Your agent monitors how much you've spent on specific models. This helps you spot expensive calls immediately.

ALERTS

Budget warnings

You can ask your agent to notify you when spending hits a certain threshold. This keeps your costs predictable.

    No. The AI only monitors the data. It cannot control the execution of your API calls or stop them from running.

    Does the AI see my credit card information?

    No. The AI only accesses the credit and consumption data provided by the tools.

  • 04

    The AI only checks your balance when you specifically ask it to via a prompt.

  • 05

    Can I use this to track costs for other providers like OpenAI directly?
