AI coding sessions can quickly become expensive without clear cost tracking. Developers need a tool to monitor and estimate these costs.

Create a desktop or web app that integrates with AI coding platforms to track usage and costs. Provide detailed reports and budget alerts.

Charge a subscription fee for advanced features like team budgets and historical analysis.

Launch with basic cost tracking and alerts. Add team features and integration with more AI platforms later.

The main risk is competition from platform-native tools, so focus on cross-platform support and detailed insights.
