The AI bill is coming due. Businesses are learning tokens aren’t free
TL;DR
Companies rushed to put AI tools in employees’ hands. Now surprise usage costs are forcing them to ask what all those prompts are actually worth. Companies rushed to put AI tools in employees’ hands. Now surprise usage costs are forcing them to ask what all those prompts are actually worth.
Nauti's Take
The wild prompt summer ends at finance. If you're building AI workflows now, you need token budgets, routing, caching, and hard value measurement, not another chat window with a polished icon.
The winners will build systems that know when a model should think and when a form is enough.
