Check AI spend on the Dashboard
The Dashboard shows your organisation's AI spend at a glance. Use it to answer "what are we spending on AI, and is it going up?"
You need AI spend switched on for your organisation — ask your Flowstate contact.
Read the Dashboard
- Go to Insights → Agent insights → Dashboard.
- Choose the period at the top. It starts at the last 30 days.
- Read the figures along the top: AI spend, with its change on the previous period, then Merged PRs, Requests, Active users and Saved.
- Read the charts:
| Chart | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Team spend | AI spend by team across the period |
| Provider spend | What each provider billed across the period |
| Spend by task | What kind of work the spend paid for. Needs AI spend attribution. |
| Forecast vs actual | Monthly spend so far, and where it's heading over the next three months |
| AI spend trend | Spend over time. Unusual spikes are shaded red, and unusual days are listed under the chart. |
| Spend accounted for | How much of each month's bill is tied to logged AI sessions |
Tip
Spend accounted for close to zero is normal without AI spend attribution: a bill says how much, not what it was for.
Look at one team, project or initiative
- Open the filters at the top of the Dashboard.
- Choose a Team. With AI spend attribution, you can also choose a Project or an Initiative.
- The charts now show that team's, project's or initiative's figures.
Tip
- The figures along the top always cover the whole organisation. A note under them reminds you when the charts are filtered.
- Forecast vs actual always shows the whole organisation.
- The filters only list teams, projects and initiatives that had AI spend in the period.
Save a filtered Dashboard as a view
Save the filters you use most, such as your own team, so you can come back to them in one click.
- Filter the Dashboard. See Look at one team, project or initiative.
- At the top left, select Default view.
- Select Save current view.
- Enter a View name.
- To let everyone in your organisation use the view, tick Share with organisation.
- Select Save.
To open a saved view, select Default view and choose it under Saved views. Views shared with the organisation show (shared). To clear the filters again, choose Default view.
Tip
- A saved view keeps your filters, not the period. Choose the period each time.
- To rename or delete a view you saved, point at it in the list and select the pencil or the bin.
If something's not right
There's no Share with organisation option — Sharing views needs extra access. Save it for yourself, or ask your Flowstate admin.
A saved view shows a different period from when you saved it — Views don't keep the period. Choose it again at the top.
A saved view shows no data — The team, project or initiative had no AI spend in the period you chose. Try a longer period.

- To see who or what the spend went on, use Breakdown.
- To hear about a spike without watching the chart, set up an alert.
