AI Census
Kaizen Software Systems Inc.
AI Census is an enterprise AI usage intelligence platform designed to provide organizations with governance and clear insights into employee interactions with AI tools across various teams, projects, and business units. It features a model-agnostic intermediary layer (developed using Python/FastAPI) that centrally manages requests to different LLM providers while ensuring that API keys, policies, and access controls remain under the organization’s purview rather than being distributed among individual users. AI Census collects comprehensive data on user and team activities, model choices, request volumes, response times, and detailed token usage (including prompt, completion, and total tokens) to help leaders understand patterns of adoption and cost factors over time. The platform offers dashboards that categorize usage by department, user, and time period, featuring trend charts, top use cases, and anomaly detection to identify unexpected spikes or concerning patterns. In addition to quantitative data, AI Census provides qualitative analysis at both the user and group levels, classifying prompts based on intention and work type (such as coding, debugging, documentation, communication/emails, research, data analysis, brainstorming/ideation, meeting notes/summaries, customer support responses, and HR policy content). This breakdown allows management to identify areas where AI enhances productivity, where additional training is necessary, and which workflows might benefit from standardization or automation. Privacy-aware governance features support customizable prompt management (including redaction, hashing, or content minimization) while still allowing for policy enforcement, reporting, and audit-ready oversight. An agent layer can summarize usage trends, generate insights for management, and send notifications for support or compliance, with plans to include role-based access control (RBAC), organizational hierarchy dashboards, maturity assessments, compliance tagging, cost optimization, and integrations such as SSO and Slack/Teams—positioning AI Census as an "AI control tower" for safe, measurable enterprise use.
