The Token FinOps
Platform for Enterprise AI.
We solve the multi-billion dollar problem of runaway AI spend. Behest gives CFOs complete visibility to enforce budgets, attribute costs, and master GenAI unit economics.
The AI Cost Crisis
Runaway Spend
Enterprises are adopting AI rapidly, but CFOs have zero visibility into where tokens are being spent.
Opaque Invoices
Provider bills are a single, massive line item. Cost attribution to specific teams or products is impossible.
Shadow AI Risk
Developers are spinning up unapproved models, creating both financial liability and compliance nightmares.
