Google Workspace · AI Spend & ROI
Every AI dollar, mapped to your Google Workspace directory.
AI spend hides in six places: API tokens, coding agents, gateways, cloud model calls, seats, and subscriptions. Larridin reconciles all six, joins them to your Google Workspace org data, and measures what they buy.
Google Workspace knows who your people are. Larridin adds what they spend on AI, and what it returns.
- Cost by org unit, group, and cost center
- AI Work, AI Leverage, and Agent FTE per team
- Read-only connector: nothing is written back to Google Workspace

THE LARRIDIN THESIS
Spend over output equals ROI, per team, per role, per dollar.
If you can’t link spend to output, you can’t defend the budget in either direction.
CONSOLIDATE
Six sources, one spend model
API tokens, coding agents, gateways, cloud model calls, seat licenses, and subscriptions, reconciled automatically. Every agent traced to an accountable owner.
ATTRIBUTE
Your Google Workspace directory is the map
Cost by org unit, group, and cost center. The answer arrives in the language your CFO already speaks.
PROVE ROI
Output measured from real work
AI Work, AI Leverage, and Agent FTE, next to function outcomes like shipped output and lead-qual time. Not self-reports.
THE LEDGER
Spend plus org equals impact.
Six spend sources on one side, your Google Workspace directory on the other. What comes out is a number the board can act on.
AI Work
38%
of shipped work
AI Leverage

SIX SOURCES, ONE MODEL
Every vendor lands in the same ledger: OpenAI, Claude, Copilot, Cursor, and cloud-billed usage, attributed through the org structure Google Workspace already maintains. See the vendor pages for each: OpenAI, Claude, Copilot.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

WHY NOW
This bill just surprised a company that builds finance software.
Rippling went all-in on AI this year, then published what its CFO found. The numbers are one company’s, but the pattern is a preview of the conversation coming to every exec team, including the ones that run Google Workspace.
Get your spend view40¢
of every R&D compensation dollar was going to AI tokens at peak, on pace for 90¢ within a year.
60%
of total AI spend came from roughly 10 to 15% of employees. One engineer was burning $50K a month.
37%
July’s token bill vs. April’s, for the same ~600B tokens, once the spend was finally visible and managed.
÷
The missing half: whether any of it produced more shipped work. Spend is the numerator. Larridin owns the denominator.

FAQ
Questions Google Workspace customers ask us.
Does Google Workspace track AI spend?
No. Google Workspace knows who your people are, not what you pay for AI. Token bills, seat licenses, and agent costs live in provider invoices and cloud consoles. Larridin brings that spend into the org structure Google Workspace already maintains.
What Google Workspace data does Larridin read?
Users, groups, and profile attributes via read-only SCIM sync. Nothing is ever written back to Google Workspace.
Is this employee surveillance?
No. Larridin measures spend and output at the team, role, and cost-center level to answer budget questions. It is not a monitoring tool and does not score individuals for performance management.
Is there a Rippling AI Spend Console equivalent for Google Workspace?
Yes. Rippling’s console maps AI spend to employee data for orgs on Rippling, and connects three vendors: Anthropic, OpenAI, and Cursor. Larridin is the equivalent for Google Workspace orgs: six spend sources, joined to your Google Workspace directory, and measured against output. No platform migration.
Do we have to change our AI gateway?
No. Larridin connects read-only to the sources you already use. There is no proxy to insert and no gateway migration required.
How fast do we get a board-ready number?
About a week. Connect Google Workspace and your spend sources, and the first report, spend joined to org and measured against output, lands in roughly 7 days.
