Tour the dashboard

The dashboard is at /dashboard. It’s the operator view for your account: balance, usage, eco impact, and shortcuts to the things you’ll change most often.

The landing page

When you first land, four widgets are visible above the fold:

  • Credit balance — the current credit balance in your account currency, with a button to top up. The big number is what’s left; the small number is what’s been spent in the current calendar month.
  • Usage today — total tokens and total cost so far today, broken out by model. Click any model to filter the rest of the page.
  • Top models (last 30 days) — a horizontal bar chart ranking the models you used most by token count.
  • Eco impact — the energy and carbon estimate for the same window, with a comparison to a baseline you choose (see Eco panel below).

Below the widgets, the Recent transactions table shows the last ~50 generations: timestamp, model, provider, region, tokens, cost, and the carbon estimate. Click any row to see the full record on its own page.

Drill into a transaction

The transaction detail page shows the full request record:

  • The generation ID (you can copy it).
  • Resolved model, provider, region, latency.
  • Token counts (prompt, completion, total).
  • Eco numbers with the methodology version that produced them.
  • Routing trace: which providers were considered, which one was picked, and why (the cheapest, the lowest-carbon, the closest, …).

Prompt and response content are not shown — we don’t store it.

Eco panel

The eco impact widget compares the last 30 days of your usage against a baseline. The baseline is a hypothetical: “what would this same usage have looked like if I’d used model X instead?” It’s a back-of-envelope check, not a guarantee. The number it shows is honest about uncertainty:

  • The value is computed from the same energy formula and grid intensities as every other carbon number on the platform.
  • The “you saved” framing only appears when the baseline you picked has a higher per-token energy estimate than your actual usage. If your usage was higher-energy than your baseline, the panel says so.
  • When confidence is low (small samples, models whose parameters are estimated rather than verified), the number is shown with a reduced-confidence indicator and the underlying caveats are linked inline.

Pick or change the baseline from Settings → Eco baseline.

Where everything else is

  • Keys — create, scope, rotate, revoke. See api-keys management.
  • Credits — top up, view receipts. See credits and billing.
  • Invoices — billing history; same data as the email receipts but downloadable as PDF.
  • Auto-routing — set defaults for lowrouter/auto: prefer-region, prefer-low-carbon, fixed-provider, and per-key overrides. See routing.
  • Settings — profile, eco baseline, notification preferences, account deletion.

Mobile

The dashboard is usable on a phone — header collapses to a hamburger menu, charts switch to a single-column layout. It’s not yet built for heavy operations on mobile (large CSV exports, multi-key bulk edits); those flows are still desktop-first.

You’re set up. The User guides section goes deeper on the day-to-day operations. The API reference covers everything you can do over HTTP.
