Welcome.

These guides are free and useful on their own. There’s no catch. Each guide contains 10 checks we’ve found important when teams launch AI or add it to an existing product. It’s about being prepared. You don’t need UsageTap, or any product, to use them. If you decide to dig deeper later, feel free to take a look at what we’re building.

Two practical workbooks

Choose the guide for the product you are building.

Ten short field checks, five-minute exercises, and a readiness card. Use them with your existing logs, provider dashboards, or a spreadsheet.

Free PDFs. No signup. No UsageTap account required.
