Your Cloud and AI Briefing, ready when you sign in

Cloud Intelligence™ Briefing answers the questions your role asks every week, on budget, where the money goes, what you can still save, and links every number to the report behind it

Most mornings start the same way. Someone asks "are we on budget?", and the answer lives in three places: a budget page, a cost report filtered the right way, and a forecast someone rebuilt in a spreadsheet. The number exists. Finding it, and trusting it, takes ten minutes and a few tabs. A wall of KPI cards on a home page doesn't help much either, because a figure without a next step is just a figure.

Cloud Intelligence™ Briefing replaces that wall with five plain questions you asked us the most, each answered with live numbers from your cost and usage reporting. Open Home and the top line tells you how the month will close against your budget, what is driving cost, and how much can still be saved. Select any number to open the report, budget, insight, or anomaly behind it.

What you get

One question at a time. Are we on budget? Where is the money going? What can we still save? What needs attention? Plus one block tuned to your role: contract and discount savings for Finance, platform and Kubernetes health for Engineering, and allocation coverage for FinOps.

Your role, your vocabulary. Pick Finance, Engineering, or FinOps at the top of the page. The role changes the wording, the blocks you see, and where each action leads. Finance doesn't see hyperscalers jargon, and Engineering gets the exact reports and exports.

A running total you can read in a second. Month-to-date spend against last month and your budget, with a projection to month end and a verdict: on track, or by how much you are over.

AI spend in context. See how much of your bill is AI, including AI spend through your cloud providers and directly with model providers, along with your top providers and models for the last 30 days.

Since you were last here. Spend added, budgets exceeded, new anomalies, and the other changes since your previous visit, so you can see what moved without hunting for it.

How you compare. Your FinOps maturity score against similar companies, with your strongest and weakest metrics.

A launcher for everything else. Press / to jump to any report, dashboard, or budget, or to ask the AI assistant when nothing matches.

The default Simple layout keeps it to five most common questions. When you want more, the Advanced layout adds trending services, threads, cloud incidents and diagrams, expert inquiries, automations, integrations, and a monthly recap, in an order you can arrange yourself. Setup is deliberately boring: there is nothing to configure, and Briefing reads the data Cloud Intelligence™ already has.
