Hi Dev.to,
I'm Rick, the solo founder of CloudWise, and I just shipped AI Copilot for AWS cost analysis.
The Problem: AWS bills are confusing. Cost Explorer shows charts, but doesn't explain WHY costs changed or HOW to fix them.
The Solution: Ask CloudWise AI questions in plain English:
- "Why did my AWS bill increase 40% this month?"
- "Which services are costing me the most?"
- "How can I save $1000/month?"
The AI analyzes your actual AWS cost data and gives specific, actionable answers.
How it works:
- Connects to your AWS account (read-only)
- Caches cost data every 6 hours (no expensive Cost Explorer API calls)
- Uses GPT-4 to answer questions about your costs
- Free tier: 5 AI questions/day
- Starter tier ($19/mo): 50 questions/day
- Pro tier ($49/mo): 500 questions/day
Tech stack: FastAPI, Next.js, DynamoDB, OpenAI API, AWS Lambda, etc.

I built this because I was frustrated with existing tools (CloudHealth, Vantage) that just show dashboards without explaining anything.
Would love your feedback.
What questions would you want to ask about your AWS costs?
