HR software provider Rippling this week unveiled AI Spend Console, an anti-tokenmaxxing product that helps a company track and contain its AI spending. When Rippling conducted an analysis, it discovered facts like “roughly 10–15% of our employees were driving about 60% of total AI spend. AI Spend Console produces dashboards (once known as leaderboards in the tokenmaxxing days) that score attributes such as prompts per day combined with work output (lines of code/pull requests) and spend. The company found people using AI effectively and made them “AI captains” tasked with assisting the rest of the company. As for the product, AI Spend Console is included for Rippling’s HR subscribers, though there are additional AI usage-based costs.
