CloudCost AI

Mission

Build a SaaS business called "CloudCost AI" - an intelligent AWS cost optimization agent that helps DevOps teams reduce cloud spend. Core features: 1. Secure multi-account AWS integration (IAM role assumption with External ID) 2. AI-powered analysis of EC2, EBS, RDS, Lambda, and EKS resources for underutilization 3. Smart recommendations: rightsize instances, delete orphaned resources, switch to Reserved Instances/Savings Plans 4. One-click Terraform/OpenTofu code generation to implement fixes (with human approval workflow) 5. Dashboard showing potential savings, historical trends, and exportable PDF reports 6. Slack/Email alerts when savings opportunities >$100/mo are detected Target user: DevOps engineers, cloud architects, and tech startups using AWS who want to cut costs without manual auditing. Monetization: Tiered pricing - $49 starter (single account), $149 pro (multi-account + automation), $499 agency (white-label + client management). Tech stack preferences: - Backend: Python/Lambda, boto3, DynamoDB for state - Frontend: React dashboard with cto.new UI components - Infra: Terraform module for one-click deployment - Auth: Cognito or Auth0 for multi-tenancy Differentiator: Include a "Kubernetes Cost View" that shows spend per EKS namespace/pod using kubectl + AWS Cost Allocation Tags. Start by building the MVP: AWS account linking → cost data fetch → top 5 recommendations → "Copy Terraform" button → Stripe checkout.
