Short answer

How do I find unexpected cloud spending spikes?

Your agent uses DoiT to pull real-time anomaly data and critical cost alerts from your cloud accounts. You'll get a clear list of exactly where your budget is leaking. This breakdown shows you how to move from detection to resolution.

Where your alerts land.

Outcome categories.

Once your agent identifies a problem, it organizes the data into these categories.

CRITICAL

Immediate cost spikes

The AI identifies sudden, massive jumps in spending. You get the specific account and service responsible for the surge.

ANOMALY

Pattern deviations

The agent finds subtle shifts in spending that don't match your usual usage. This helps catch slow leaks before they become disasters.

HUMAN

Manual investigation

The AI flags the issues, but you decide if a spike is a legitimate business growth cost or a mistake. You handle the final decision to cut or allow the spend.

REPORT

Summary logs

The agent compiles all detected issues into a clean list. You can use this to review your cloud health at the end of the week.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

Your agent acts as a continuous monitor for your cloud infrastructure.

  1. Scan for spikes

    The agent checks your accounts for any sudden, critical increases in cost that require immediate attention.

  3. Filter by severity

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically stop my cloud services to save money?

    No. The AI can only identify and report on cost issues. You must manually take action in your cloud console to change or stop services.

  • 02

    Does the AI see my actual credit card information?

    No. The AI only accesses the cost and usage data provided through the DoiT connection.

  • 03

    Can the AI fix a cost spike by itself?

    No. The AI identifies the spike and tells you where it is, but it cannot modify your cloud infrastructure or settings.

  • 04

    How often does the AI check for new anomalies?

    The AI checks for anomalies whenever you ask it to run a command or when you trigger a check through your agent.

  • 05

    Can I use this with any cloud provider?

    Yes, as long as those accounts are connected through DoiT.
