AI Compute Allocation

AI compute,
allocated by role.
Governed by policy.

Stipend lets engineering teams set compute budgets by role and team, enforce provider policy in real time, and give finance a clean breakdown by cost center — all connected to the HR systems you already use.

Zero-knowledge gateway — we never see, store, or log your engineers' prompts or code. Only token counts and costs.
The Problem

AI spend is growing.
Your control
over it isn't.

Engineers spin up personal subscriptions. Approved tools mix with unapproved ones. Finance sees one opaque line item they can't attribute. IT has no audit trail. When someone leaves, access lingers until someone remembers to revoke it. The result is a resource that's becoming a meaningful part of labor cost — managed with less rigor than a company travel policy.

"We found 47 separate AI subscriptions across the company — $180K annualized — with no way to attribute costs, audit usage, or revoke access from a central place."

Sarah Chen VP of Engineering, Meridian Systems
How It Works

Running in one afternoon.

01
Define Your Allocation Policy

Set compute budgets by employee, team, or job level. Choose which providers and models each group can access. Rules sync automatically with your HRIS as your org changes.

02
Connect Your Providers

Bring your existing OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google contracts — or route through Stipend's resale layer. One gateway. One credential per employee. Every provider.

03
Enforce, Report, Repeat

Every request is checked against the employee's remaining budget before it reaches the provider. Finance gets a clean cost-center breakdown. IT gets a full audit trail. Offboarding revokes access automatically.

Features

Allocation policy without the engineering.

Allocation Layer

One system for
every team's compute.

Set budgets by job level, team, or individual. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more from a single admin panel. Every employee gets a managed allocation — no personal subscriptions, no shadow IT, no spreadsheet tracking.

Real-Time Enforcement

Hard limits before the request lands.

Every AI call is checked against the employee's remaining budget synchronously — before it reaches the provider. Over budget means a clean rejection, not a bill surprise at month end.

Finance-Ready

Reports your CFO can actually use.

Spend broken down by employee, team, role, and cost center. One-click export for AP. Built for the finance workflows you already run — not another dashboard to check.

Capabilities

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Budget by Role
Allocate compute budgets tied to job levels in your HRIS. New hires provision automatically at the right tier. Role changes update allocations without admin work.
Provider Policy
Define which providers and models each team can access. Requests to unapproved endpoints are blocked before they leave the gateway.
Audit Trail
Complete, immutable logs of every request: who, which model, how many tokens, what cost, at what time. Built for compliance reviews.
Real-Time Enforcement
Every request is checked against the employee's remaining balance synchronously. Hard limits, not soft alerts. No overages, no surprises.
HRIS Sync
Connects to Rippling, Workday, BambooHR, SuccessFactors, and 50+ others. Terminations auto-revoke AI access within minutes of the HR event.
Cost Center Reporting
Every dollar attributed to a team, role, or cost center. Export to NetSuite, QuickBooks, or your ERP. Finance-ready without manual reconciliation.

Every employee will have a token budget.
Are you ready?

Give your workforce structured AI access — with budgets, policy controls, and real-time enforcement — in a single afternoon. No custom engineering. No long-term contract.
