Product·Budgets & Costs
Every agent has a budget. Every task has a receipt.
AI spend should look like payroll, not like a surprise. Neuro OS gives each agent a budget with a hard cap, meters every task, and rolls costs up in real time — overruns are impossible, not just unlikely.
Caps
Caps that actually cap
A budget in Neuro OS is enforcement, not a dashboard. When an agent reaches its cap it stops, marks its work with a clear state, and asks for more — it cannot quietly keep spending. Set caps per agent, per team, or per project.
- Hard stops at the cap, with graceful hand-off
- Top-ups are an approval, not a config edit
- Burn-rate alerts before the stop, not after
Visibility
Know what every outcome cost
Costs attach to tasks, tasks attach to goals — so you can answer “what did the migration cost us in AI spend?” the same way you’d answer it for cloud spend. By agent, by model, by week, by outcome.
- Cost roll-ups by agent, goal, and time window
- Model-level breakdown for adapter tuning
- Export-friendly for finance close
Efficiency
Cheap work goes to cheap models
Because roles and adapters are separate, you can staff mechanical work on inexpensive models and reserve frontier models for judgment. The budget page tells you when a role is over- or under-provisioned for what it actually does.
- Per-role model assignment with cost history
- Spot roles where a cheaper model would do
- Spend follows value, not habit
“AI spend should look like payroll: a number you set, a cap that actually holds, and a receipt attached to every piece of work.”
