AI Catalog
Flowstate sees AI spend across many modalities. Here's the lay of the land — and exactly what we're tracking versus what we're not. This catalog is the reference view of the broader AI market, organised by modality. For the operational view of what's connected and live in your org, see Providers inventory.
The catalog is also what budgets refer to when a budget says providers: "all" — every entry below that we can actually see.
The four coverage states
Every tool on every modality page sits in one (or more) of four states.
Catalog-listed. The tool is in Flowstate's built-in AI tool catalogue and can be modelled in workforce planning + cost forecast as a line item. You pick it from the dropdown when you add an AI Agent. Default pricing ships with the entry; you can override it.
Hostname-recognised. The Flowstate Agent passively captures traffic to one of the tool's known hostnames. No admin setup needed beyond installing the agent. Today this covers five vendors: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, GitHub Copilot, Cursor. Codeium/Windsurf is also on the proxy allow-list.
Billing-connectable. An admin can wire the vendor's billing API at Usage Providers settings for authoritative spend. Today: Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot.
Invisible. Flowstate cannot see this tool today through agent traffic or a billing connector. It's still in the catalog as a forecastable line item — but if you want a number from a system of record, you'll need to enter it manually as an AI Agent or track it as contract SaaS spend.
A single tool can hold multiple states. Cursor, for example, is Catalog-listed AND Hostname-recognised AND Billing-connectable.

Honest coverage today
What Flowstate is good at today: coding tools — full coverage across catalog entries, agent hostnames, and billing connectors for the major vendors.
What we're catching up on: image, video, audio, sales, marketing, legal, enterprise search, foundation APIs. Most are catalog-listed (so they appear in your roster and forecast), but few are hostname-recognised or billing-connectable yet. The Coverage column on each modality page tells you exactly what's tracked today and what isn't.
If a tool you care about is Invisible, the workaround is the same: add it as an AI Agent in the workforce roster with a manual monthly cost, or track it as contract SaaS spend on the finance side. The line item still rolls into your budgets and forecast — just without the per-user attribution you get from agent telemetry.
