# Organization and gateway settings

> Your organization's profile and ID, and the gateway settings that decide what ACOG may cache, trim or batch for your traffic.

Product: AI Cost Optimizer Gateway (ACOG). Web version: https://tessarac.com/docs/acog/administer/organization-and-gateway-settings. Last updated: 2026-10-16.

Both pages require the **Edit the organization's profile** permission (`admin:org`) to change; others can view them.

## Admin → Organization

| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Organization ID | `org_…`, read-only. Used in management API paths. |
| Created | Read-only |
| Name | Shown in the console and on invoices |
| Billing contact | Email and phone printed on every invoice |
| Billing address | Street, unit, city, state or province, postal code and country |

## Admin → Gateway settings

What the gateway may replay or trim to make a request cost less. Every setting applies to every request your keys make, from the next one on.

| Setting | Default | Page |
|---|---|---|
| Response cache | On | [Caching](https://tessarac.com/docs/acog/optimize/caching.md#response-cache) |
| Semantic cache and similarity threshold | On, 0.97 (hosted) | [Semantic cache](https://tessarac.com/docs/acog/optimize/semantic-cache.md) |
| Prompt simplification | On | [Prompt cleanup](https://tessarac.com/docs/acog/optimize/request-cleanup.md) |
| Batch auto-routing | On | [Batch routing](https://tessarac.com/docs/acog/optimize/batch-routing.md) |
| Cache refresh pings | Off | [Caching](https://tessarac.com/docs/acog/optimize/caching.md#cache-refresh-pings) |
| Store prompts for review, and retention | On, 30 days | [Activity and audit log](https://tessarac.com/docs/acog/govern/activity-and-audit-log.md#stored-conversations) |

## Admin → Webhooks: other settings

Three more settings sit with the webhooks:

| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Budget alert webhook (legacy) | A single unsigned URL that receives a Slack-compatible alert when a budget passes 50, 80 or 90% of its limit and when it reaches 100% of its limit. Prefer [signed webhooks](https://tessarac.com/docs/acog/administer/webhooks.md). |
| Cost recommendations by email | ACOG compares your configuration with how your traffic is actually served and emails your admins when a change would save money. Nothing is changed for you, and no mail is sent when there is nothing to recommend. |
| Daily model check | Once a day, ACOG lists the models each connection can call and tells your admins about new or retired models. It never changes a connection. |

## Admin → Cost policies

[Auto mode](https://tessarac.com/docs/acog/optimize/auto-mode.md) and [cost arbitrage](https://tessarac.com/docs/acog/optimize/cost-arbitrage.md). These require the **Connect and disconnect AI provider accounts** permission.
