After Rippling blew millions on AI in months, it built an employee ROI tool
What changed
HR software provider Rippling this week unveiled AI Spend Console, an anti-tokenmaxxing product that helps a company track and contain its AI spending. One of the most interesting features is that it maps how much individual employees, teams, and roles are spending and if they are genuinely more productive, or generally producing more AI slop. In fact, the launch ad for this new product features Swiecicki sitting on a stool while employees are picking up wads of cash and dumping them into a paper shredder.
Why it matters
A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
