## Summary

**Ramp** introduced **Glass**, an internal AI tool, after spending **$1.5 million in AI tokens** in a single week in May. The company compared this to giving employees expensive instruments without a conductor—expensive but uncoordinated. Glass now automates tasks like extracting feature requests from customer calls, reducing manual data entry from **300 monthly entries** to capturing **20,000 monthly requests** via AI prompts, per the company’s post. Employees can edit company-specific knowledge, and the tool routes requests through **Ramp Router**, optimizing model selection to cut costs by **30% overnight** for internal use.

The tool reflects broader enterprise AI challenges: **62% of companies** spent over **$10 million** on new AI tools in the past year, according to a **PYMNTS Intelligence report** from September. However, deeper adoption faces hurdles like skill gaps and unclear ownership. Ramp’s **$60 billion valuation** (post-**$1.85 billion funding round**) underscores its focus on scaling AI tools internally before broader deployment.

## Key points

- Ramp spent **$1.5 million in AI tokens** in May, prompting the creation of Glass to streamline internal workflows
- Glass automates feature requests from customer calls, capturing **20,000 monthly entries** vs. prior manual **300/month**
- Ramp Router optimizes model use, cutting internal AI costs by **30% overnight** and valuing Ramp at **$60 billion**

## Why it matters

Glass demonstrates how AI can slash repetitive tasks in spend management, but Ramp’s **30% cost cut** highlights the risk of uncoordinated AI adoption without governance. The **$60B valuation** signals enterprise AI’s growing priority, though broader deployment faces skill and ownership gaps.
