Original Summary

A few months ago, we started getting into the problem of actually seeing how our team&#x27;s AI usage and its cost actually translates into a business outcome. We recently rolled out a public version open source after a few months of pilot testing the product.<p>The product is UseJunction (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;usejunction.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;usejunction.dev</a>), and if your team is running multiple subscriptions&#x2F;api from Cursor, Claude, Codex etc. this is for you to manage subscription spend, wastage and predictions.<p>A bit of background, we had a team of 20 people running $200 Cursor subscriptions, and some were using a few others. That was over $4000 of spend. With this tool, we were able to get that to $2600 on our next billing cycle! That is a 35% decrease. We knew that people had to be facing this problem too, so we made it opensource for the community.<p>All of these subscription providers leave behind telemetry on local machines, we use that to estimate usage. Soon we will be releasing a feature to attribute that spend to actual business outcomes that come from your project management tools.<p>Currently considering actually adding a level of control on top of observability so that teams&#x2F;orgs can actually govern AI tool usage.

中文标题: Show HN:UseJunction —— 查看团队的 AI 工具使用情况

团队数月前着手解决如何看清 AI 使用及其成本如何转化为业务成果的问题,经过试运行后开源发布。若团队同时使用 Cursor、Claude、Codex 等多个订阅或 API,可用于管理订阅支出、浪费与预测。他们原本20人使用200美元档 Cursor 等,月支出超4000美元,用后下一账期降至2600美元,降幅35%。工具利用各服务留在本地机器的遥测估算用量,后续将推出把支出归属到业务成果的功能,并考虑在可观测性之上增加治理控制。
