KNTRL (“control”) is the simplest way to track AI spend, see who's actually using it, and steer it toward the outcomes your business is paying for — all in one place.
AI spend isflying blind.
Teams adopted AI faster than anyone could track it. The money keeps going out — but the visibility, and the control, never arrived.
Scattered across everything
AI hides in dozens of tools, seats and personal logins. No single number tells you what the company actually spends.
No line of sight on value
Budgets climb every quarter, yet nothing ties the spend to adoption, outcomes or real ROI.
Waste you can't see
Licenses sit idle while a handful of power users quietly blow past budget — invisible until the invoice lands.
Ungoverned by default
Teams sign up on personal cards and logins, outside procurement, security and policy. You often meet the tool when its invoice arrives.
Budgets that won't hold still
Usage-based token and seat costs swing month to month, so finance forecasts and renews on gut feel instead of data.
From chaos tocontrol.
KNTRL is the system of record for AI value — every dollar measured against the critical business outcomes it's meant to move. And you steer it in plain English, no analyst required.
See every dollar, user, and outcome your AI touches — every tool reconciled into one clear picture.
Govern spend and adoption, cut the waste, and steer AI toward the goals that actually move the business.
Track everydollar's path.
Connect once and watch each tool's spend flow into the teams that use it — live, the moment something changes.
One normalized view across OpenAI, Copilot, Claude & LiteLLM.
Real usage vs licenses — idle spend surfaced in week one.
Duplicate tools & idle seats flagged automatically.
See where teams stand
Every team plotted by adoption and spend. The moment one drifts off-target, it moves on the map — no dashboard to build.
Understand every seat
All 260 paid seats, grouped by team. Lit means used in the last 30 days; idle means a license you're paying for but nobody touches.
Ask inplain language.
Anyone can query the data without SQL. KNTRL answers from your live spend, adoption and goals — metadata only, no analyst required.
Your biggest lever is license waste — 78 idle seats equal $2,340/mo. Spend concentrates in three tools:
Three teams are tracking over budget — Marketing leads at 118% of plan.
Usage concentrates in a few power users — your top 10 drive 64% of spend.
Understand the valueof AI in your firm.
AI measured against your business goals — each KPI moving from baseline toward target, so spend is judged on outcomes, not invoices.

Project where AI spend lands at quarter-end — and get pinged the moment spend or adoption crosses a line you set.
You set the triggers — budget %, adoption target, and week-over-week spikes. KNTRL watches and pings you first.

Questions,answered.
Most tools report what you spent. KNTRL starts with your value context — how your people, processes and tech create value — and triangulates it with your AI spend, adoption and the goal each team owns. Reasoning models turn that into the next move, optimized for growth first, efficiency second. It's an optimization engine, not a report.
