# AI Usage

The **AI Usage** dashboard tracks spend, tokens, and budget allocations across your AI providers. Every request through the AI gateway is metered, so you can see how much your Chat conversations and [AI keys](/docs/ai/ai-keys) are costing, and where that usage is going.

To open the dashboard, navigate to **AI** > **AI Usage** in the sidebar.

## Your Usage

The dashboard summarizes your own usage over a selectable time range of the last **7**, **30**, or **90** days:

- **Total Spend** — your AI spend over the selected period
- **Tokens Used** — total tokens, split into input and output tokens
- **Allocations** — the budget allocations you're permitted to draw from

The **Usage over time** chart shows your daily usage across the period, and the breakdown chart splits your usage by **Model** or **API key** — use the grouping toggle to switch between the two.

## Organization Usage

Organization admins see an additional **Organization** tab that aggregates AI usage across the whole organization. Along with total spend, it summarizes:

- **Active Users** — users with AI activity in the selected period
- **Total Tokens** — organization-wide input and output tokens

The organization breakdown can be grouped by **model**, **user**, or **allocation**, and lists each group's cost, tokens, and share of total usage.
