Monitor cloud spending and alert your team before budgets blow up

AI checks your cloud and AI infrastructure costs every 15 minutes and alerts your team by email or Slack before overruns happen.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken.

The problem it solves

You're juggling multiple cloud and AI vendors, and costs can spike without warning. By the time someone notices a budget overrun in a spreadsheet, real money is already gone. Your finance and ops teams need to catch spending problems early, not at month end.

Who it fits

Finance and operations teams managing cloud and AI infrastructure budgets across departments.

How it works

  1. Cost and usage data is checked automatically on a set schedule
  2. AI reviews spending patterns and flags unusual costs
  3. The system decides how serious the issue is
  4. Critical overruns trigger an email and Slack alert to leadership
  5. Routine costs are logged for future budget tracking
What you get

Budget overruns caught before they escalate

Your team gets an email or Slack alert the moment cloud spending patterns look unusual, before budgets blow up.

What you get

Automatic alerts with recommendations whenever spending patterns look risky, plus a running record of cost trends.

What you need

An Anthropic Claude API key, an NVIDIA API key, a Gmail or Google Workspace account, and a Slack workspace.

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.
