Where do you need more room?

$60,000 spent. $40,000 still available across the team’s tools.

Your work changes. Your allowances can adjust.

Rebalance available allowance across supported tools as the work changes. Keep the overall budget and the approval rules your company sets.

01 / More access

Get more usage approved.

Need more room this month? Request it in Flowstate. Your manager can approve extra allowance from the team’s available budget.

You get access. They keep control of the total.

02 / Available allowance

Put spare allowance to work.

Someone’s on leave. Their colleagues have work to finish. Redistribute the unused allowance to the people who need it.

Move what’s available, with the sharing rules your company sets.

Three teammates. $100 each. The same team budget.

03 / Project funding

Charge the project first.

Give a project its own AI budget. Work assigned to that project draws from its budget before touching anyone’s personal allowance.

Your team can do the funded work without using up the budget for everything else.

04 / Shared funding, individual controls

Share a pool. Keep individual limits.

Give your team a shared budget and set a strict cap for each person. Money left in the pool doesn’t mean one person can spend it all.

When someone reaches their cap, they request more access.

Marketing / Shared pool
$100,000 Monthly team budget
$60,000 spent $40,000 available
AL
Your personal cap $1,000 spent / $1,000 limit
Limit reached

The team has funds available. Your personal limit still applies.

05 / Help a colleague

Share some of your allowance.

A colleague needs more usage to finish their work. You’ve got room to spare. Give them part of your available allowance in Flowstate.

They keep going. Your company’s total stays the same.

Share with a colleague
You You $250 Available
$100
JK Jordan $20 Available

Share from your available allowance, within your company’s rules.

Company-wide control

Your tools can change. Your company budget stays in place.

Moving allowance between tools or people doesn’t add to your company’s budget. Approve requests from existing funds. Increase the overall budget only when you choose to.

Company AI budget $600,000 / month
Assigned to people & projects $480,000
Reserve for approved requests $120,000

Reallocate within the total.

Connected tools

One place to manage the allowance.

Flowstate coordinates budgets and supported tool limits. Each provider bills for its own services. Purchased credits don’t move between providers.

Less time managing limits. More room to work.
