OpenAI

A usage spike is caught in two hours, not on next month's invoice.

What it watches

OpenAI feeds Spend — AI and hosting usage against budgets, spike alerts — as Cost Guard.

What Keelnest reads

Organization admin key · usage (minute buckets) and costs (daily).

Cost is daily only. Individual keys cannot provide cost data.

Read-only, like every connection: Keelnest never refunds, charges, changes a price, edits a setting or an environment variable, merges on its own or runs a migration. The credential is checked with one read call before it is stored, encrypted at rest, and can be revoked at the provider at any time. Security says the whole of it.

How to connect

Create the admin key. platform.openai.com > Settings > Organization > Admin keys > Create. Usage and costs read permissions only. Open OpenAI.
Paste it into Keelnest. In your workspace, open Integrations, find OpenAI and press Connect. Keelnest makes one read call to confirm the credential works, stores it encrypted, and starts reading on the next five-minute tick.
Link the apps. Under Manage, pick which applications this account watches. An app linked to a host is checked the moment that host reports a deploy; an app linked to a payment or AI account starts building its baseline from that hour.

Start watching

Create a workspace and connect OpenAI from Integrations, or run the free check on any public URL first. All docs.
