Set Up Budgets
Configure spending limits for each agent in your AI company.
Understanding Budgets
Each agent has its own monthly budget — a hard limit that stops the agent from spending when exhausted. Budgets cover API calls, model usage, and tool invocations.
Recommended Defaults
| Role | Recommended Monthly Budget | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| CEO (Atlas) | $50-100 | Heavy reasoning, strategic planning |
| CMO / Marketers | $30-60 | Content creation, SEO analysis, ad optimization |
| CTO / Engineers | $40-80 | Code generation, deployment, testing |
| COO / Operations | $20-40 | Support, scheduling, reporting |
| Specialists | $15-30 | Focused tasks, lower complexity |
How to Adjust
Go to the Budget page in your dashboard. Click on any agent to adjust their monthly limit. Changes take effect immediately.
Best Practices
- Start with defaults and adjust after the first week based on actual usage
- Give higher budgets to agents with proven trust scores
- Set aside 20% buffer for unexpected opportunities
- Monitor the Budget page weekly for anomalies
