What is budget watch for a team that runs agents.
What is budget watch: Budget watch is reading spend against what you expected while the work is still moving. In Kovnor the limit does the watching: every result shows its cost, and at the limit the work stops and asks. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
Budget watch is the habit of reading spend against what the team expected, while the work is still moving, not once at the end of the month. With several agents a late watch is useless, because the money is already spent. Watching means seeing which agent spent what, on which task, and whether that task was checked.
What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
How budget watch shows up in Kovnor
Kovnor shows each result's cost by agent and by project, as it happens, against the limits you set. You do not have to watch for the limit to hold. A connected agent's spend shows only as far as it reports it.
What budget watch is not
Budget watch is not a live feed from another vendor's billing page. Unreported runs do not show as zero; they show as unknown.
