Token-meter client billing
Meter the run. Then you bill. You still send the invoice.

How it's set up
A $200/mo Grok Bot seat with a token meter that quotes exact post-work cost to bill clients, they said. We have the tweet. We did not see the meter.
- 01Turn on usage you can read. Tokens, run, job name.
- 02After the job, quote the cost from that meter. Do not invent a number.
- 03You send the invoice. The bot does not.
- 04Write your seat from the real bill. They named $200/mo. Use yours.
- 05One client job this week. Not the whole book.
Prompt
After each client job, read usage I can see: tokens, run, job name.
Quote that cost. Do not invent a dollar or a $200 seat.
I send the invoice. You do not.
After the job, five lines: job, meter, quote, what needs me.written from @WI1com's public post — not their exact words.
How the money works
You bill the client the cost the meter showed, plus your fee, if that is the deal. $200/mo is their seat, not yours. First proof is one job with a meter number you put on an invoice you sent — not $200 copied from the tweet.
What to try first
This week: one client job, a meter number on the invoice, and you send it.
Watch out
- Tokens: cap the run so one desk does not burn the week.
- Time: one checked result beats a pile you did not review.
- Claim: $200/mo and an exact post-work quote are what they posted. Not a meter we saw. Not a public install.
