Intro to tokenomics: What Every Manager Needs to Understand About AI Spend
Do you actually know what your company is spending on AI?
AI spend is quickly becoming harder to keep track of. It’s not just another SaaS subscription; it can sit across tools, models, APIs, credits and agents, with different pricing depending on how they’re being used.
And if you don’t understand what you’re paying for, it’s pretty hard to know whether you’re getting value from it.
Ghita El Haitmy, CEO of ELI and the founder behind Techbible, will break down the basics of AI spend and tokenomics in a way that actually makes sense for managers.
Ghita has built an audience of 500K+ followers across Techbible on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and now leads ELI, helping businesses get a clearer view of their software and AI stack.
She will look at input vs. output tokens, how model pricing works, where costs can start to creep up, and how to optimise your AI stack without simply downgrading the quality of what you’re getting.
She’ll also talk about the bigger question: how do you actually start budgeting for AI when the spend is spread across the business?
