# Introduction

Finora is a single dashboard for everything your team spends on AI. It pulls cost data from your AI providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Google Cloud, and Cursor — and shows you what's happening with your money in clear charts and reports.

Where most cost tools treat AI as just another line item in a giant cloud bill, Finora is built specifically for AI. It understands models, tokens, and inference costs — so you get answers like *"Which engineer is spending the most on Claude this week?"* in one click instead of digging through spreadsheets.

## Who Finora is for

| You're a…                  | Here's what Finora gives you                                                                                           |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Finance or FinOps lead** | One source of truth for AI cost across vendors. Budget alerts. Reports you can hand to your CFO. Per-team chargeback.  |
| **Engineering leader**     | See cost per team, per project, per environment. Track cost-per-thousand-tokens. Spot trends before they hit the bill. |
| **Founder or operator**    | Answer "Are we burning more on AI this month?" and "Who's responsible?" in one glance.                                 |
| **Platform / DevOps**      | Watch for unusual spend in real time. Catch a runaway script before it becomes a five-figure mistake.                  |

## How Finora works (simply)

1. **You connect a provider once** — paste an API key or grant read-only access.
2. **Finora keeps your data fresh in the background** — automatic refreshes every 24 hours, every hour, or every 15 minutes depending on your plan.
3. **Charts, alerts, reports, and forecasts update themselves** — you just open the app.

You never have to download a CSV from a provider again.

## What Finora tracks

* API spend with OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Google Cloud, and Cursor
* Per-model and per-token detail where the provider exposes it
* Flat-rate AI subscriptions you add manually (ChatGPT Team, Cursor seats, Midjourney, Copilot, etc.)

## What Finora doesn't track (today)

* Consumer plans like Claude.ai or ChatGPT (only the API platform from those vendors)
* Self-hosted AI you run on your own hardware
* Costs unrelated to AI in your cloud bill (Finora filters those out)
