Ramp on Cutting AI Costs via Spend Transparency
johncoogan · x · 2026-07-17
Ramp CEO Eric Glyman states that one of the easiest ways to reduce AI costs is to make everyone's AI spending visible.
He argues that most people don't overspend intentionally, but rather because they can't see how many tokens they are actually using. By making usage and costs transparent to employees, it acts like a credit card statement reminder, prompting more conscious efforts to cut unnecessary consumption. "Just tell them once that it's an unauthorized expense, and overspending will drop."
