Idea

A real-time observability dashboard that tracks and visualizes how much developers are spending on AI coding APIs (Claude, OpenAI, etc.). Helps engineering teams monitor costs and optimize usage.

Why this is interesting

LLM API costs have become a genuine budget line item for engineering teams in 2024–2025, and the pain is acute enough that companies like Anthropic and OpenAI have both added native usage dashboards — but those are per-provider silos, not cross-provider aggregates with team-level attribution. No clear incumbent owns the unified view. The $1k–5k/mo revenue band is honest for a niche devtool targeting small-to-mid engineering teams: seat-based or usage-tiered pricing at $50–200/month per team gets you there with a modest customer count, but it's a ceiling, not a floor. The biggest risk is that the major AI providers simply ship better native cost tooling, or that a broader observability platform like Datadog or Grafana Cloud absorbs this as a plugin, collapsing willingness to pay for a standalone product.
