# Platform observability

> Monitor usage, costs, and agent performance across your organization

AI Studio provides observability tools to help you understand how your organization uses AI and how your agents perform. Track spending and token usage at the organization level, or drill down into individual agent sessions to debug and optimize performance.

## Track usage and spend

<Info>
  The Consumption view is only available to [organization admins](https://support.writer.com).
</Info>

The Consumption view in AI Studio gives you a detailed view of your usage and spend month-by-month across all agents.

To access this view, [log in to AI Studio](https://app.writer.com/aistudio) and select the **Consumption** tab in the left sidebar.

You can switch between a cost view and an activity view, which shows the number of tokens used for each agent type. See below for more details about the data available in the [cost view](#cost-view) and the [activity view](#activity-view).

The image below shows the cost view for a sample organization.

### Cost view

The cost view shows the following information:

* **Monthly usage-based spend**: The total cost of usage for the month, with a comparison to the previous month.
* **Spend by agent type**: A day-by-day breakdown of the cost of usage by agent type (API, Framework, and No-Code).
* **Spend breakdown**:
  * **LLM models**: The usage cost for each LLM model.
  * **Others**: The usage cost for all other services, such as Knowledge Graph hosting, web access, and optical character recognition (OCR).

### Activity view

The activity view shows the following information:

* **Monthly token usage**: The total number of tokens used for the month, with a comparison to the previous month.
* **Top users by token usage**: The top five users with the most token usage.
* **Top agents by token usage**: The top five agents with the most token usage.
* **Token usage by agent type**: A day-by-day breakdown of the token usage by agent type (API, Framework, and No-Code).
* **Token usage by model**: The total number of tokens used for each model.
