Know Before You Owe: AI Cost Governance in Drupal with AI Metering

​You enabled an AI module, ran a few tests, and then opened your billing dashboard. Surprise! 😬

​If this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and it's exactly what inspired Jérôme Tchania (codeitwisely) to build AI Metering, a brand-new contrib module that adds token tracking, cost estimation, per-user monthly quotas, and a usage dashboard to any Drupal site running the AI module.

​In this session, Jérôme will walk us through:

• ​Why AI cost governance is increasingly critical as AI features move into production

• ​How AI Metering hooks into drupal/ai's event system to automatically meter every AI call — no per-provider configuration needed

• ​Live demo: the usage dashboard, per-call audit log, quota enforcement, and multi-currency cost display

• ​What's coming next (role-based budget pools, LiteLLM proxy integration, and more)

​Whether you're a site builder evaluating AI modules, a developer deploying AI features, or an agency managing client sites, this session will help you answer the question every stakeholder eventually asks: "How much is this actually costing us?"
