Dashboards
Time and Money Saved
Estimated hours and value the brain saved, next to what the AI actually cost.
# Time and Money Saved **Time and Money Saved** is a dashboard every workspace has. It is in the Dashboards place beside the Control Room (or your company's own dashboards), and you can open it from the command palette by typing its name. Admins see the whole workspace. Everyone else sees their own chats only. ## What it shows For this month so far and for last month: - **Hours Saved** and **Value of Time Saved**, both marked **Estimate**. - **AI Spend**, marked **Actual**: what the model provider charged for each reply, added up. - **Subscriptions Replaced**, marked **Entered**: the tools an admin listed and what each costs a month. - **Work Done**: replies, emails drafted, docs created, meetings processed, searches, files made, carousels made and scheduled runs. - **By Agent**: each agent's replies and tool runs, the estimated value of the time it saved and its actual spend, as numbers and as a pair of bars. ## How the estimates are worked out Each piece of work counted is multiplied by the minutes it is assumed to take a person by hand. The total is divided by 60 to give hours, and the hours are multiplied by the hourly rate to give value. The **How This Is Worked Out** section shows every assumption and what it stands for. - A reply counts once. A tool run counts only when it finished: a declined or failed draft, doc or search counts for nothing. - A scheduled run also counts its reply. - Files made counts each file a run produced. A carousel counts once, however many slides it has. - Months are calendar months in UTC, the same as budgets. - A reply the provider returned without a cost figure is left out of the spend, and the page says how many. ## Changing the assumptions (admins) Admins can change the minutes for each kind of work, the hourly rate (in US dollars) and the list of subscriptions replaced, right on the page. The figures follow the change straight away; **Save Changes** stores it for the whole workspace, and **Discard** drops it. **Reset to Defaults** puts the starting minutes and rate back.Time and Money Saved is a dashboard every workspace has.
