What it does
Shadow AI gives companies visibility into AI spend, usage, adoption, and ROI across Marketing, Sales, and Engineering. Track tools like ChatGPT and Claude alongside production AI APIs and built in mcp tools. Our Chrome extension captures browser usage, SDK tracks OpenAI and Anthropic calls with zero latency impact, and read-only billing API requires no code changes. Get unified dashboards, guardrails, alerts, policy enforcement, subscription detection, and rightsizing recommendations.
Track AI usage by user, team, and tool. See spend, adoption, duplicate subscriptions, and ROI across Marketing, Sales, and Engineering.
Shadow AI shows every dollar — by user, by team, by tool — in real time. Set budgets, get alerts, cut waste. Your team signed up for ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Perplexity — separately, on different cards. Nobody has the full list. Some are duplicates. Some nobody uses anymore. One engineer ran a script that made 10,000 API calls overnight. You find out 30 days later when the invoice arrives. There's no alert, no dashboard, no way to know until it's too late. Leadership wants to know if the AI spend is worth it. You have no data to show them. You're guessing — and that makes the whole AI initiative look bad. See which tools nobody uses and which subscriptions overlap. Cancel what's not…from shadow-ai-usage.vercel.app

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
