The problem it solves

You don't find out about a runaway cloud bill until the invoice lands, and by then the damage is done. Tracking spending across multiple cloud providers by hand takes time you don't have, so overspending slips through unnoticed.

Who it fits

Any business running workloads across AWS, Azure, or GCP that needs to keep cloud costs under control.

How it works

  1. Every hour, the system checks your AWS, Azure, and GCP billing data
  2. It compares current spend against your budget and flags unusual spikes
  3. It tags the resource responsible so you know exactly what to fix
  4. It sends you an alert by email, Slack, or WhatsApp with the details
What you get

Cost spikes flagged before the invoice arrives

You get notified the moment your AWS, Azure, or GCP spending jumps, with the exact resource behind it.

What you get

An alert with the cost spike details and the resource causing it, sent to your preferred channel.

What you need

AWS, Azure, and GCP accounts with billing access, plus Slack, WhatsApp, and email for alerts.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
