AI agents complete tasks, consume tokens, and run compute — but without per-task cost attribution, the cost stays invisible until it shows up as a surprise infrastructure bill.

cost per task ai agent needs more than a timer. The billing record has to keep client, project, approval, and invoice context together before the work reaches finance.
Record token fees, subscription usage, and compute costs against the client project they serve as the agents run — not reconstructed at billing time from company card statements.
Combine AI agent cost records with human billable hours in one review so the total delivery effort is visible before the invoice cycle starts.
Use reviewed human and agent cost data to prepare client summaries and invoice backup that reflect how the work was actually delivered.
Per-task AI cost attribution
Most teams that run AI agents for client work start by tracking total spend: how much did the AI agent cost this month? That number is useful for budget awareness but not for billing or margin control. When a client asks why their AI-assisted deliverable cost more than expected, the total spend number offers no explanation. Per-task cost attribution is the next step: attribute token consumption, API calls, and compute time to specific tasks so the cost of each AI agent action is visible. Keito tracks AI agent activity at the task level — what the agent did, which tools it invoked, how many tokens it consumed, which client and project the task belongs to — so billing teams can report actual AI cost per deliverable, margin analysts can see whether AI agents are profitable by task type, and client conversations about AI-related charges are grounded in data rather than estimates.
Track AI agent token and API costs by task, client, and project rather than as pooled infrastructure spend
Review per-task cost before it becomes part of a client invoice or delivery margin report
Compare AI agent task cost against human billable time for the same deliverable type
Workflow fit
Keito keeps cost per task ai agent connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

Compare AI agent task cost against human billable time for the same deliverable type
Keito tracks AI agent costs against the same client and project structure as human billable hours so agent spend is never invisible overhead. Agent sessions land as source-tagged time entries via the CLI, API, or Agent Skill, with LLM token costs logged as expenses.
See total delivery cost — human hours and AI agent costs together — by client and project so pricing, margins, and billing decisions reflect the real cost of work.
Keito flat pricing means adding AI tracking capacity to the billing workflow does not create a per-seat cost spike as more people and more agents are involved in delivery.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
Per-task cost visibility
Keito keeps cost per task ai agent tied to clients, projects, billable status, approvals, and billing summaries in one workspace.
Typical setups capture time in one tool and rebuild the billing explanation later from exports, comments, or spreadsheet cleanup.
Review before invoicing
Managers review entries before they become invoice evidence, so missing context is fixed internally rather than during a client dispute.
Raw timer exports usually reach finance before delivery leads have confirmed whether the work is billable, complete, or client-ready.
Predictable team pricing
Flat-rate plans let delivery staff, reviewers, contractors, and finance users participate without per-seat pricing friction.
Per-seat time trackers make teams choose between clean billing participation and controlling tool spend.
Use a workspace where time is captured against the right client and project, reviewed before invoicing, and exported as billing evidence. Keito is built around that workflow, so cost per task ai agent is not separated from the approval and invoice context it needs.
Yes. Keito tracks work by client, project, person, billable status, and review state, then turns approved records into client-ready summaries. That makes it useful when cost per task ai agent needs to support billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
A generic timer records duration. Keito records billable context: who did the work, which client and project it belongs to, whether it has been reviewed, and how it should appear in billing evidence.
