CapHound is an AI administration platform that independently measures and manages a company's software and AI spend. The platform tracks seat usage across tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, and Cursor, reconciles vendor invoices against actual usage, and flags over-billing with drafted disputes for approval. It consolidates thousands of findings into batched, editable decisions that users approve directly from Slack, email, or the web dashboard.

Problem
Companies struggle to track and control their growing spend on software and AI tools, with usage frequently scattered across multiple platforms and vendors. Invoices are often accepted at face value without independent verification, leading to over-billing and wasted spend on idle seats that go unnoticed until renewal.
Solution
CapHound acts as an AI teammate that automatically administers a company's software and AI spending. It pulls seat usage data from major platforms like OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, GitHub Copilot, and Microsoft 365 Copilot, then reconciles provider bills against actual measured usage. The platform detects discrepancies—such as an Azure invoice exceeding usage by $5,900—and drafts disputes with evidence attached. Idle paid seats are identified systematically department-wise, with a consolidated reclaim proposal presented for approval. All work is batched and ranked, so thousands of findings become a handful of decisions, with nothing moving forward without explicit human sign-off.
Target Audience
Primary customers are finance, IT, and procurement teams at mid-to-large companies managing substantial software and AI tooling budgets, particularly those using multiple AI platforms and SaaS applications.
