How do you turn an agentic commerce demo into a production-ready agent? With Ramp, you can give an agent its own identity and spending limits, plus the ability to attach receipts, memos, and everything else finance needs to close the books. Here’s what it looks like. We’re onboarding alpha customers. Reach out via the website below for access.

We built Token Spend Management to understand AI costs and Router to use the most efficient model for the task. Now, both are available to customers. Inspect comes from the same instinct: if we need a better tool, we build it. Less than a year and over 1M+ sessions later, 75% of merged PRs at Ramp come from Inspect, our homegrown background agent. Read how Inspect changed the way we build software.

The world has changed: choosing an AI model is now a full-time job. GPT-5.6 Luna, Sol, or Terra? Claude Opus 4.8 or Sonnet 5? Gemini 3.1 Pro, Kimi K3, or GLM 5.2? Medium, high, or xhigh reasoning? Best solve rate, lowest cost, or fastest response? And next week, the answer changes again. Ramp Router keeps track so you don't have to. The right model for each task is now two lines of code:

Monitor and control your AI spend on every provider on Our early users save 40% on average. Every week, the price-intelligence-latency frontier shifts, and we expect this trend to continue. Tradeoffs between latency, reasoning, cost, service tier, open source and closed source models are shifting constantly. Router sends every request to the model that's actually best for the task and helps you control what tokens you buy. We benchmark it against real work: ~40% lower cost for the same outputs. Today we're opening it to everyone. Two lines of code or just change your base URL. No @tryramp account needed. Free through 2026, first $26 on us. Get an API key today at

Contrarians tend to do very well at Ramp. @shevchenkoaalex, who runs @ramplabs, is one of them. High-agency people doing hard work should have real say in what work is worth chasing. Especially when everyone else says "that sounds too hard" or "that'll never work." Those are usually the projects worth trying. If you hear "impossible" and enjoy proving people wrong through action, you're exactly who we want building with us at @tryramp:

Most people judge AI models by what they can do today. @rahulgs judges the slope. When we started Ramp, people had tasted better software at home and could no longer tolerate the tools they were handed at work. So we built something better. Same thing is happening now with AI. Our customers use these models every day. They know what speed and intelligence feel like — and anything that makes them repeat themselves or wait for an answer feels broken. Rahul builds for that. Not for the best model today, but for where models will be in 3–6 months. Studying traces. Improving the harness. Cutting CI time. Giving agents real work with real guardrails. He gets into all of it with @bcherny, @Anthropic's Head of Claude Code, and our staff engineer @austospumanto.

Grok 4.5 is #1# at processing real-world invoices At Ramp, we tested models on 150k bills submitted by actual businesses, scoring them on whether they predicted every correction a human would make Grok achieved the highest perfect-extraction rate, beating similarly priced models Gemini Flash 3.6, GPT 5.6 Terra, and Sonnet 5. This is a demanding long-context reasoning task. The model must infer patterns across 100K+ tokens of prior invoices, business memories, and human corrections, then apply them to new bills. The goal: zero-click accounts payable, with invoices processed correctly without human intervention.

Congrats 59 @FerdiDabitz and the Augustus team 👌
Augustus has raised 180M$ on 1B$ to build the Global Dollar Bank. The dollar is the best product in the history of the world - with infinite global demand. But International Fintechs and non-US banks are left with two unsatisfying options to access it: Either they build on legacy clearing banks that are slow and unreliable, or they interface with middleware providers that don’t move and hold dollars directly, but themselves rely on underlying legacy banks. @augustus_bank collapses this stack by combining two things: direct dollar access and Marble, our proprietary bank core, built around intelligence and made of code. If you’re looking to build on the dollar - message me directly or check us out at

Your AI bill tells you almost nothing. It shows the total. It cannot tell you which team spent it, what they bought, whether a cheaper model could do the same work, or where the cost belongs in the books. One customer found $10K a month lost to prompt caching and fixed it the same day. Another turned off Fast Mode after Ramp showed it was creating 6x the token spend. We built Ramp Token Spend Management to connect every token to an owner, use case, and decision. Across 1,300+ businesses, on average, Ramp identifies potential savings equal to 12% of monthly AI spend. One in three businesses has received a recommendation to evaluate a lower-cost model. Agentic AI will make the meter run faster. The companies that can explain every token will be the ones confident enough to use more of them. Ramp’s solution is live now:

AI is extremely good at spending your money very quietly. our own token spend went from a rounding error to more than 10% of payroll in a year. one week in May we burned through $1.5 m. our CFO didn't love telling me that number, and he really didn't love telling the internet. but every finance leader we talk to is living the same story. the bill keeps going up and teams can't answer basic questions about it. which team is driving it? which models they're using? what changed this month? whether a cheaper model would do the same job? so finance gets two bad options: keep paying and hope, or cut broadly and slow down the work that's actually compounding. we built a third one. Ramp now connects to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Cursor and pulls it all into one place. see it, understand it, control it - down to a single API key. built with 1,000+ companies managing 100T+ tokens a month, and now spending less than they expected too! try it today at

Great @Fortune piece on @davidsenra today. Years ago, David kept texting me and @karimatiyeh to back a podcast with fewer than 1,000 listeners. "Trust me on this one." We did. That podcast became @tbpn. It sold to OpenAI this April and along the way did more for @tryramp's profile than any ad money could buy. What the piece gets right about David and mostly leaves between the lines: he's read 415 biographies of the people who got it right and he turned that discipline into a place the rest of us go to study. @FoundersPodcast isn't a podcast so much as a school for builders. It's why the founders I asked didn't describe it, they revered it. When you've studied the greats that obsessively, you can tell the sublime from the merely great — and you'll bet everything on the difference before the rest of us can see it at all. David earned that audience one obsessed listener at a time. Summarizing a book a week, alone in a room, scraping by for years before anyone was listening. The fame didn't change him. Neither did the money: he turned down $50M+ buyout offers to keep Founders his, and he takes no equity in the bets he sends others. For David, great work itself is always the point. The lesson I keep relearning from him: when you find talent like that, don't hedge. Back them completely. The returns aren't linear. Nothing better than watching a friend succeed. Grateful to be in business with him too — Founders Podcast, the new show, whatever comes next.

The trap with fine-tuning has always been that the learning lives inside one model's weights. With PorTAL, we pulled the task representation out of the base entirely. Learn it once, and porting to a new model is just refitting a thin converter, no retraining from scratch. It turns your fine-tunes into a memory bank that plugs into whatever model is best. Saving time and $$$

Introducing PorTAL: Portable Task Adapters for LLMs. A novel recipe to cheaply port fine-tuning between models. It matches per task LoRA accuracy at half the cost, lowering the switching overhead of adapting tasks across LLMs. At Ramp, every new model release used to mean retraining our fine-tunes from scratch. PorTAL learns the task once, then efficiently refits it onto any new base model, even across model families.

We can finally say AI isn't killing jobs. A new paper from me, @tryramp, and @RevelioLabs uses firm-level spend and workforce data across 21K U.S. businesses to measure AI's impact on jobs. Firms that adopt AI heavily grow headcount 10% over two years following adoption. Low adopters see no statistically significant change.

Eric and I have worked as a team for the past 12 years. This only makes it formal. Strategy decisions are increasingly technology and systems-design decisions, and we want the company built around that reality. Stepping in as CTO is @rahulgs. Rahul's superpower is being right early. He spots the bet worth making while everyone else is still forming an opinion. A lot of Ramp's best decisions trace back to that instinct, and now it's pointed at the whole technical org. @HamidDadkhah3 is taking on a new role as Head of Engineering. Hamid cares about what the customer actually achieved, not what we shipped, and he moves things over the line without waiting to be asked twice. Engineering orgs are supposed to slow down as they grow. Hamid takes that as a personal challenge. Speed compounds. What used to take a year takes < 1 month now. Glad to have these two running it.

Today @karimatiyeh and I are both taking new titles as Co-CEOs of @tryramp. If you know us, this won't feel like a change. From when we first started building together twelve years ago, our partnership has run on a couple of motivating principles. On decision-making, we trust each other completely to make critical calls for the company across every function. And on organization design, technology is not a distinct part of the company - it is the entirety of it. That is why Karim has for years directly managed risk, operations, and marketing. Most importantly, at Ramp there is no line between the people who build and the people who do everything else. Everyone is a builder. For the last 2,656 days, we have run the company this way. This only makes it formal. We thought it was important to do it now because of how we see the AI exponential reshaping what Ramp can be. Decisions of company strategy are increasingly decisions of technology and systems design. We have always believed every function should be approached as a systems-engineering problem (even when the system was primarily human) but the rise of machine intelligence makes this existential. Every part of the company must be positioned to leverage the continued explosion in model intelligence and capabilities. If we do this well, each step-change in what models can do compounds automatically into better products and faster execution without anyone having to rebuild the company to capture it. If we fail to operate this way we will ultimately be outcompeted by a new company that does. We are also making Rahul Sengottuvelu our CTO. @rahulgs has led Applied AI at Ramp since joining us three years ago through the acquisition of his prior company, Cohere. Before that, his first company was building customer-service agents on GPT-3 at a time when almost no one knew what a large language model was, and he has spent every year since pushing the frontier of what existing models can do. He has also been right on nearly every major technical direction in AI well before it was obvious. Building Ramp now means applying AI to every part of it, and Rahul is the person stepping up to lead that work. We are still very early in the history of Ramp. Our current chapter is perhaps the most dynamic, but we have never been more optimistic on where it is going and the mission has never been more important. The businesses that trust us are navigating the same shift we are, and we intend to be there for all of it: managing their token spend, supercharging their finance teams, and helping them get more out of every dollar and hour. - Eric & Karim
