Transform GenAI Spend into Business Value Pay-i is the ROI-intelligence platform for GenAI. We translate the fast-moving cost signals of models and agent workflows into clear forecasts and KPI impact, giving Product, Finance, and Engineering one source of truth — long before code hits production. By pairing GenAI-native telemetry with unit-economics analytics and decision intelligence, Pay-i shows where to invest, how to price, and when to scale with confidence. Why we exist Enterprises are ready to fund GenAI, but opaque economics and shifting provider prices make credible business cases impossible. Traditional cost tools flatten spend into a single line, while tracing utilities drown teams in call-level noise. Pay-i links every generation to outcome so leaders can invest with conviction. What makes us different • ROI Traceability – connects GenAI operations to KPI lift at the use-case level • Unit-Economics Analytics – live cost-per-feature and margin by cohort • Decision Intelligence – scenario modeling that de-risks launches and optimizes model mix • Cross-Team Lens – a unified workspace so Product, Finance, and Engineering execute from the same cost-to-value truth set Vision As GenAI evolves toward multimodal, autonomous workflows, Pay-i is building the operating system that continuously steers spend toward maximum ROI, turning GenAI from an experimental cost center into a proven growth engine.
