# Financials ## Description The **Financials tab** shows the **real cost** of running a specific agent—broken down by **time period, provider, model, and even user**. Use it to monitor spending, compare weeks or months, and identify savings opportunities (e.g., switching models) without guesswork. --- ## Target Audience **Administrator · Superadministrator** --- ## Features #### Headline Cost Metrics View **Weekly Cost**, **Monthly Cost**, and **Total Cost** with comparisons to the previous week or month. #### Cost per Day A **daily chart** that lets you hover to view exact dates and spending amounts. Filter by **Today**, **7 Days**, **Past Month**, or a **Custom Range**. #### Cost by Provider Breaks out spending across **LLM providers** (e.g., *OpenAI → Gemini*), especially useful when evaluating provider switches. #### Cost by LLM Shows cost per **specific model** (e.g., *GPT-5 Latest*, *GPT-4.0 Mini*)—ideal for optimizing Agentic OS’s **LLM-agnostic configuration**. #### Cost per User A table listing **User**, **Total Cost**, **Sessions**, and **Last Active**—revealing heavy usage patterns and cost drivers. #### Flexible Time Filters All charts and tables automatically respect your **selected timeframe**. --- ## How to Use (step by step) #### Open Analytics → Financials - In the agent header, click **Analytics**, then select **Financials**. #### Read Headline Metrics - Review **Weekly**, **Monthly**, and **Total Costs**, and note the **week-over-week** or **month-over-month** comparisons. #### Inspect Cost per Day - Use **Today**, **7 Days**, **Past Month**, or **Custom** filters. - Hover over the chart to see the exact per-day spending. #### Compare Providers - Open **Cost by Provider** to see how spending shifts when you switch vendors (e.g., *OpenAI → Gemini*). #### Optimize by Model - Check **Cost by LLM** to identify high-cost models versus more economical options that still deliver quality. #### Identify Cost Drivers (Users) - In **Cost per User**, sort by **Total Cost** or **Sessions** to find heavy users. - Confirm that high usage aligns with course goals and expected outcomes. #### Decide & Iterate - Adjust your **agent’s LLM/model**, **tools**, or **prompts** as needed. - Recheck **Financials** after several days to verify savings and efficiency improvements. --- ## Pedagogical Use Cases #### Budget Tracking Monitor weekly and monthly spend to ensure programs stay within allocated budgets. #### Model Selection Strategy Use **Cost by LLM** to run high-stakes agents on premium models and routine agents on more cost-efficient ones. #### Cohort Management **Cost per User** helps highlight outliers for targeted guidance—encourage efficient usage among high-spending learners. #### Program Reporting Share clear **cost trends** and **provider/model breakdowns** with institutional stakeholders. #### A/B Cost–Quality Tuning Compare **daily costs** before and after switching models or tools to validate savings while maintaining learning outcomes. --- Use **Financials** to make **data-driven decisions** about providers, models, and usage—ensuring your agents remain both **effective and fiscally responsible**.
