Do not tie your business to one model provider; use the best, most cost-effective model for each workflow.

Priya, I just mapped your expansion workflow into a CRM Sandcastle: accounts, approvals, dashboards, and role policies.

Priya

Scaffold it with the dashboard first. Keep write actions behind manager approval.

QuinnGLM-4.6

I went ahead and scaffolded the app shell, wired the dashboard, and put write actions behind manager approval.

INITIALIZING ASSIST TOOL SYSTEM_

Priya

@assist find the margin leak in Q3, quantify, and brief. Only use systems I am allowed to access.

I'll check the policy before every tool call and keep an audit trail as I work.

01llm usage

Token spend

Break total token costs down by AI teammate instead of hiding them in a blended platform bill.

Model costs stop being a blended line item and become something your operators can actually tune.

02tool calls

Tool spend

Track connector and action costs alongside model usage instead of hiding them in platform overhead.

Every workflow shows the model spend, tool spend, total, and share of the monthly bill.

03optimization

Cost visibility

Find expensive runs and agents, and tighten workflows before usage drifts.

See which AI teammates, models, and tool calls drive spend so teams know where to optimize.

Assist has been the scaffolding that we needed, as people who did not have any software development background, to build exactly what we were looking for.

People's had exact operational workflows to build, but did not have software development capacity inside the team.
