OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Admin Analytics to Track AI Spend, Tasks and 245% ROI

3 articles · Updated · OpenAI · Sep 16

OpenAI added analytics to the ChatGPT Admin Console, combining usage, cost, task and outcome data across ChatGPT Work and Codex for admins and business leaders.
The new tools show active users, credits and token usage, classify work into use cases, surface model and plugin patterns, and track Codex contributions to merged commits, lines of code and code review.
OpenAI also introduced an Admin plugin and Admin API so teams can generate reports, build dashboards and connect AI activity with business metrics such as ticket resolution time, delivery speed or profitability.
A sales example in the launch materials estimates 5,520 annual hours saved and $207,000 in capacity value against $60,000 in first-year costs, implying 245% ROI.
OpenAI framed the release as a way to move beyond raw usage and spend, helping customers decide where to expand AI workflows, add training or test different setups.
