# KeepAir

> KeepAir is a FinOps for AI platform. It shows what every AI model, team and seat costs across 15+ AI vendors, and adds budgets, alerts, policy, ranked savings and forecasts. It is free (not a trial) and powered by Ness Technology.

KeepAir connects to each AI vendor with one read-only usage and billing key. It maps every user to a department and team through Microsoft Entra or a push API. It reads usage and billing metadata only and never collects prompts or responses. Setup takes under an hour, with no code changes.
