| 6 | **Spend** is the front of the workspace's money: | |
| 7 | `g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/spend`, first under **Money** in the Workspace | |
| 8 | sidebar. It says what was spent over a period, where it went, the budgets | |
| 9 | that hold it, and what each task cost. Every figure on it comes from the | |
| 10 | workspace's usage and agent records; nothing is estimated. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | **Usage** has every meter in detail, and **Billing and plans** has the | |
| 13 | plan, the spend limit, payments and the statement. Spend links to both. | |

| Pricing says it plainly: models at the provider's price, the agent rate for what g1t runs around every model call (the gateway, secrets, routing, context and pass-through to your own provider, so your own keys too), everything else at cost plus 20%, your own runners free, no seats; Security and quality comes with the plan with no separate fee, and live activations end. Each agent has an effort setting, Auto to Max, with what a typical task has cost at each level, and Spend's Spend less, keep quality suggests a lower level only when the agent's own past work shows quality held, to apply or dismiss. The pricing, spend and agents guides say how. | 56 | ## Spend less, keep quality |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | Every week, g1t checks each agent's finished sessions and asks one | |
| 59 | question: would a cheaper [effort](/guides/agents/#effort) have done the | |
| 60 | work as well? The answers are under **Spend less, keep quality**, on Spend | |
| 61 | for every agent and on each agent's **Spend** tab for that agent. | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | How a suggestion is made: | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | 1. **What counts.** Each agent's own sessions that finished in the last 28 | |
| 66 | days, at the effort level each recorded, with what each was charged as | |
| 67 | budgets count it: the model at the provider's price and the | |
| 68 | [agent rate](/guides/usage-and-billing/#the-agent-rate). A session is | |
| 69 | **accepted** when it finished with nobody having to step in: no one | |
| 70 | steered it, and it was not stopped or failed. Helpers and subagents | |
| 71 | count as part of the session that started them. | |
| 72 | 2. **What is compared.** The level the agent runs at now (for Auto, the | |
| 73 | level most of its sessions ran at) against the level below. | |
| 74 | 3. **When it suggests.** Both levels have at least 10 sessions; the | |
| 75 | cheaper level's sessions were accepted at least as often, give or take | |
| 76 | 5 points, even on a cautious estimate; and a typical session at the | |
| 77 | cheaper level cost at most 85% of one at the current level. | |
| 78 | 4. **What it says.** The suggestion names the numbers it rests on, such as | |
| 79 | *At Medium, 12 of its 12 sessions finished with nobody stepping in, | |
| 80 | against 19 of 20 at High; a typical one cost $0.21 instead of $0.48*, | |
| 81 | and about what it would save a month at the agent's recent pace. | |
| 82 | ||
| 83 | When either level has fewer than 10 sessions, Spend says **Not enough | |
| 84 | history yet**, with how many it has, instead of suggesting anything. When | |
| 85 | the cheaper level was measured and did worse, or would save little, | |
| 86 | nothing is shown. | |
| 87 | ||
| 88 | To act on one, as an owner: | |
| 89 | ||
| 90 | 1. Open **Spend** and find **Spend less, keep quality**. | |
| 91 | 2. Read the reason under the suggestion. | |
| 92 | 3. Choose **Apply** to change the agent's effort (a new version of the | |
| 93 | agent, recorded in the [audit log](/guides/audit-log/) with who applied | |
| 94 | it), or **Dismiss** to put it away. A dismissed suggestion is not made | |
| 95 | again for the same setting. | |
| 96 | ||
| 97 | Applied and dismissed suggestions stay listed under **Decided lately** for | |
| 98 | 30 days. A suggestion made for a setting that has since changed is put | |
| 99 | away at the next check. | |
| 100 | ||
| The Spend page says what a workspace spent, where it went and the budgets that hold it, in Workspace under Money: spent at price, agents' spend and the spend limit; by day; by agent, person, channel, model, kind of work and product; budgets from the workspace down to each person, agent and task, with what happens at 100%; the costliest tasks, each with a receipt of every session at the provider's price and what was charged; and how it's priced. Everyone sees what agents spent for them, and owners and billing managers the whole workspace; each person can have a monthly budget agents keep to, and the spend pill in the top bar shows your month or the workspace's against its limit. The spend guide says how. | 101 | ## Budgets |
| 102 | ||
| 103 | Budgets nest, from the widest to the narrowest. Before every agent reply | |
| 104 | and session step, g1t checks each level, and the first one that is used | |
| 105 | up stops the work. Each row on Spend shows the budget, what is spent | |
| 106 | against it this month, and what happens at 100%. | |
| 107 | ||
| 108 | | Level | Set by | At 100% | | |
| 109 | | --- | --- | --- | | |
| 110 | | **The workspace** | Owners and billing managers, under [Billing → Your spend limit](/guides/usage-and-billing/#your-spend-limit). | New work stops until the month turns or an owner raises it: agents, workflows, builds and deploys. With **Pause usage at 100%** off, owners are alerted and work goes on. | | |
| 111 | | **All agents together** | Owners, here or under **Agents → Budget**. | No agent takes new work until the 1st, or until an owner raises it. | | |
| 112 | | **Each person** | Owners, here. A default for everyone, and a budget of their own for anyone. | Agents take no new work for that person until the 1st, and say so where they were asked. | | |
| 113 | | **Each agent** | Owners, on the agent's **Profile**. A new agent starts with the default set here. | That agent takes no new work until the 1st, or the next day for a daily cap. | | |
| 114 | | **Each task** | Owners, here: the cap a session starts with. The plan's caps on one run and one issue are under [Billing → Caps](/guides/usage-and-billing/#caps). | The session stops at **Needs approval**, and an owner decides whether it goes on. | | |
| 115 | ||
| People and teams are front and centre: one directory of people and agents with presence, local time, titles, teams and what each owns; profiles with manager and reports and the agents they work with; an org chart with each team's agents beside the person who leads it; and teams of any mix, with a lead, a channel, a budget agents keep to and the agents on them. Every agent is told its teams each turn (who leads, who owns what, who's around and who to page), and the team page shows exactly what. Member management is Members and invites; the people and teams guide says how. | 116 | A team can also have a budget for what its agents spend together, set on |
| 117 | the team's own settings and checked after a person's budget. See | |
| 118 | [lead, channel and budget](/guides/teams/#lead-channel-and-budget). | |
| 119 | ||
| The Spend page says what a workspace spent, where it went and the budgets that hold it, in Workspace under Money: spent at price, agents' spend and the spend limit; by day; by agent, person, channel, model, kind of work and product; budgets from the workspace down to each person, agent and task, with what happens at 100%; the costliest tasks, each with a receipt of every session at the provider's price and what was charged; and how it's priced. Everyone sees what agents spent for them, and owners and billing managers the whole workspace; each person can have a monthly budget agents keep to, and the spend pill in the top bar shows your month or the workspace's against its limit. The spend guide says how. | 120 | Work already running finishes, so spend can go slightly past a budget. |
| 121 | ||
| 122 | ### A person's budget | |
| 123 | ||
| 124 | A person's budget counts what agents spend on work that person asks for: | |
| 125 | the replies agents write them and the sessions they start, with | |
| 126 | everything those sessions bring in. Each person can see their own on | |
| 127 | **You**, and in the top bar. | |
| 128 | ||
| 129 | To set budgets, as an owner: | |
| 130 | ||
| 131 | 1. Open **Spend** and find **Budgets**. | |
| 132 | 2. Choose **Change** on **All agents together**, **Each person** or | |
| 133 | **Each task**, fill in the amounts in dollars, and choose **Save | |
| 134 | budgets**. An empty budget means none. | |
| 135 | 3. To give one person their own budget, choose **Set** on their row, or | |
| 136 | **Give someone their own budget**, and enter it. `0` means no budget at | |
| 137 | all for them; empty puts them back on the default. | |
| 138 | ||
| 139 | ## Receipts | |
| 140 | ||
| 141 | **Costliest tasks** lists the period's most expensive sessions. Open one | |
| 142 | for its receipt, at `g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/spend/receipts/<session>`: | |
| 143 | ||
| 144 | - Each session of its tree: the agent's own, and every helper and subagent | |
| 145 | it brought in, with their tokens, the model at the provider's price, and | |
| 146 | what each was charged. | |
| Pricing says it plainly: models at the provider's price, the agent rate for what g1t runs around every model call (the gateway, secrets, routing, context and pass-through to your own provider, so your own keys too), everything else at cost plus 20%, your own runners free, no seats; Security and quality comes with the plan with no separate fee, and live activations end. Each agent has an effort setting, Auto to Max, with what a typical task has cost at each level, and Spend's Spend less, keep quality suggests a lower level only when the agent's own past work shows quality held, to apply or dismiss. The pricing, spend and agents guides say how. | 147 | - Each session's model and the [effort](/guides/agents/#effort) it ran at. |
| The Spend page says what a workspace spent, where it went and the budgets that hold it, in Workspace under Money: spent at price, agents' spend and the spend limit; by day; by agent, person, channel, model, kind of work and product; budgets from the workspace down to each person, agent and task, with what happens at 100%; the costliest tasks, each with a receipt of every session at the provider's price and what was charged; and how it's priced. Everyone sees what agents spent for them, and owners and billing managers the whole workspace; each person can have a monthly budget agents keep to, and the spend pill in the top bar shows your month or the workspace's against its limit. The spend guide says how. | 148 | - **Models, at the provider's price**: every session's model answers |
| 149 | together. | |
| 150 | - **g1t's agent rate**: the rest, at the rate in the price book. | |
| 151 | - **Total, as budgets count it**. | |
| 152 | ||
| 153 | On your own model key, your provider bills the model and only the agent | |
| 154 | rate is charged; the receipt says so. A session from a conversation you | |
| 155 | aren't in shows what it cost, not what it was about. | |
| 156 | ||
| 157 | ## How it's priced | |
| 158 | ||
| 159 | The page's last section reads the [price book](/guides/usage-and-billing/#how-prices-are-set): | |
| 160 | ||
| 161 | | | Price | | |
| 162 | | --- | --- | | |
| 163 | | **Models** | What the model provider charges, with no markup. | | |
| Pricing says it plainly: models at the provider's price, the agent rate for what g1t runs around every model call (the gateway, secrets, routing, context and pass-through to your own provider, so your own keys too), everything else at cost plus 20%, your own runners free, no seats; Security and quality comes with the plan with no separate fee, and live activations end. Each agent has an effort setting, Auto to Max, with what a typical task has cost at each level, and Spend's Spend less, keep quality suggests a lower level only when the agent's own past work shows quality held, to apply or dismiss. The pricing, spend and agents guides say how. | 164 | | **Agent rate** | Per million tokens an agent's run uses, for what g1t runs around every model call: the model gateway, secrets, routing, context and pass-through to your own provider. | |
| 165 | | **Everything else g1t runs** | Sandboxes, builds, hosting, storage, search and security scans, at cost plus 20%. | | |
| 166 | | **Your own model keys** | Your provider bills the model; the agent rate still applies. Local models the same. | | |
| The Spend page says what a workspace spent, where it went and the budgets that hold it, in Workspace under Money: spent at price, agents' spend and the spend limit; by day; by agent, person, channel, model, kind of work and product; budgets from the workspace down to each person, agent and task, with what happens at 100%; the costliest tasks, each with a receipt of every session at the provider's price and what was charged; and how it's priced.

| 171 | ## In the top bar | |
| 172 | ||
| 173 | Your spend this month sits in the page's header, beside **Ask g1t**: what | |
| 174 | agents did for you against your budget. Choose it for where it went, by | |
| 175 | kind of work and by agent, and a link to Spend. Owners and billing | |
| 176 | managers can switch it to **Workspace**: what the workspace was charged | |
| 177 | this month against its spend limit, and its agents' spend. The choice is | |
| 178 | remembered on this browser. On a phone, open **Spend** from the Workspace | |
| 179 | sidebar instead. | |
