About CloudWise

Built for the people who own the AWS bill.

CloudWise is an AI agent for founders, CTOs, and engineers who answer for the AWS bill but don't have time to become FinOps experts. Ask questions in plain English, watch for anomalies around the clock, and — on your approval — let the agent execute the fix.

Why we exist

What we believe

Small teams are underserved

Cost tooling is either enterprise-priced or a read-only dashboard. The teams that feel every wasted dollar deserve the same leverage as a FinOps department.

Finding waste is not fixing it

A recommendation nobody acts on saves nothing. The agent closes the loop: it explains the leak, proposes the fix, and executes it once you approve.

Trust is earned in IAM

Read-only by default. Write access is a separate, optional role with an action allow-list, 15-minute sessions, and rollback on every fix.

Pricing should be boring

No hidden fees, no per-resource charges, no percentage-of-savings math. Simple plans that grow with what the agent does for you.
