About
Safe AWS cost remediation: an AI agent that finds waste across 40+ services and executes human-approved fixes with deny-by-default IAM and one-click rollback.
Use cases
- Find idle and forgotten AWS resources (NAT gateways, unattached EBS, old snapshots)
- Ask your AWS bill questions in plain English
- Get alerts on cost anomalies
- Approve fixes with one-click rollback and an audit trail
- Scan locally from the CLI or Claude Code, nothing sent to CloudWise
Features
- Problem
- Teams struggle to understand what is driving their AWS bill.
- How it works
- Answers questions in plain English using the team's AWS spending data and provides waste scans.
- Result
- Teams can investigate spending and identify potential savings more quickly.
- Why
- Make cost analysis accessible without requiring dedicated FinOps expertise.
- Problem
- Waste can go unnoticed between billing cycles.
- How it works
- Shield monitors costs and sends anomaly alerts; plans include daily or real-time monitoring options.
- Result
- Teams can investigate cost changes sooner.
- Why
- Surface unusual spending before it becomes a surprise on the next invoice.
- Problem
- Recommendations may not get turned into savings.
- How it works
- On eligible plans, proposes remediation for customer approval, then executes approved fixes using isolated write access and offers rollback.
- Result
- Teams can remediate supported AWS waste with approval and recovery safeguards.
- Why
- Close the gap between identifying waste and acting on it while keeping customers in control.
- Problem
- Regulated teams need evidence and controlled changes.
- How it works
- Provides approval policies, audit exports, pseudonymized-export mode, and audit records for remediation.
- Result
- Teams can review and document cost-control actions.
- Why
- Make remediation governable and support audit readiness.
- Problem
- Some users do not want to connect an AWS account to a hosted service.
- How it works
- Offers a source-available Python CLI that runs locally with read-only AWS credentials and refuses non-read AWS calls.
- Result
- Users can scan AWS from their own machine and review findings locally.
- Why
- Enable local waste checks without signup, a third-party IAM role, or telemetry.
What makes it different
- Read-only by default; every write is approved by a human and reversible
