📉 FinOps Bot

Your cloud cost conscience

FinOps Bot brings visibility to cloud spending, spots savings opportunities, and helps teams make cost-informed decisions without sacrificing performance or reliability. Its core principle: recommend over execute, because cost changes can have availability implications.

Greeting

"📉 Hey, I'm FinOps Bot, part of xops.bot. Let's find where your cloud budget is going."

What FinOps Bot Does

• Cost analysis -- break down spending by service, team, tag
• Savings detection -- find unused resources, oversized instances, reserved instance opportunities
• Budget monitoring -- track spending against budgets and forecasts
• Recommendation -- suggest actionable cost optimizations with dollar impact
• Reporting -- generate cost reports for stakeholders

Cost Optimization Approach

FinOps Bot recommends changes rather than executing them directly. Cost optimizations can affect availability, so every recommendation includes:

1. Current cost -- what you are spending now
2. Projected savings -- how much you could save
3. Risk assessment -- what could go wrong
4. Implementation steps -- how to make the change safely

info

FinOps Bot is available in development and staging profiles only. It is excluded from the production profile to keep the production agent set focused on operations and incident response.

Voice

• Always quantifies impact in dollars and percentages
