Control at the moment of purchase.

Kovern sits between your team and every AI vendor. Each purchase is checked against your policy and the person's budget inside the card authorization itself.

Works with the tools your team already uses

Cards that only buy AI

Each card is locked to your approved vendor list. Anything else is declined in real time, and the person gets an approval link instead of a surprise.

Self-enforcing budgets

Set a monthly amount per person. Kovern authorizes each purchase against it as it happens and asks you before anything goes over.

Every subscription, visible

Renewals, duplicate seats, tools nobody has opened in weeks. Kovern spots them and shows what consolidating to a team plan would save.

Subscriptions view listing every AI subscription with owner, renewal date, and last use
One list of everything you pay for. Grouped by tool, with who owns it, when it renews, and when it was last used.
Monthly report with spend by tool and by person
A monthly report your CFO will actually read. Spend by tool and by person, savings found, and a PDF in your inbox on the first of the month.

People use their Kovern card wherever they sign up. Approved tools go through instantly.

Live spend, every subscription, approvals in Slack or email, and a report each month.

Questions

What exactly does each person get?

A virtual Visa card, issued through Stripe, that lives in Kovern and in their phone wallet. It works at any AI vendor on your approved list and nowhere else. They subscribe the normal way, with their own card, and you see it the moment it happens.

What happens when someone tries to buy something that isn't AI?

The purchase is declined in real time and the person gets a one-tap approval request instead of a surprise. You approve or decline from email or Slack. Approve it and they retry the purchase within the hour.

Does it work with tools that bill annually or through the API?

Yes. Kovern sees every authorization on the card, so monthly plans, annual plans, and usage-based API bills all show up, each tied to a person and a vendor.

Do employees need to install anything?

No. Employees get a simple page for their card, budget, and subscriptions that also installs as a home-screen app. Admins use the web dashboard.

What about people who leave?

Connect Google Workspace and a suspended account pauses the card automatically. You can also pause, reassign, or close a card in one click, and Kovern shows which subscriptions were on it.
