CloudZero has released new AI-powered features that enable any user - from engineers to executives - to query cloud and AI spend in natural language and receive instant, context-rich answers, transforming FinOps into an accessible, collaborative practice for proactive cost efficiency.
The new Ask Advisor, powered by CloudZero Intelligence, is now core to the platform. Users can pose detailed questions like “How much did we spend on AWS EC2 last month, and which teams drove the increase?” or “What’s our cost per 1,000 tokens?” and get precise, visualized responses immediately.
Natural language filtering further simplifies exploration, removing the need for dropdowns or technical filters to slice costs by team, service, or tag.
The CloudZero MCP Server allows easy connection of preferred LLM clients to CloudZero’s robust cost data model, embedding visibility, allocation, optimization, and analytics into existing tools without disrupting processes.
LiteLLM integration expands tracking to hundreds of LLMs, providing granular insights into organizational AI consumption for better optimization.
Erik Peterson, Founder and CTO of CloudZero: “Businesses already spend about $1 trillion a year on cloud services, and AI spend will exceed this mark in the not-too-distant future. As costs skyrocket for these and other consumption-based services, companies need to connect their investments to business outcomes—asking not just, 'How much did we spend?' but, 'Was it worth it?' CloudZero's agentic FinOps capabilities enable companies to answer that question in all its most granular and overarching forms.”
CloudZero advances in two directions: enhancing FinOps tools to manage AI workloads and infusing AI to evolve FinOps practices. Combined with market-leading unit economics and 100% spend visibility, these features eliminate barriers, foster cross-functional collaboration, and align innovation with profitability.
Examples of supported queries include efficiency checks (“Show Kubernetes clusters below 50% CPU”), provider comparisons (“OpenAI vs. Anthropic spend YoY”), trend analysis (“Weekly spend over 6 months”), and prioritized savings (“Top five optimization opportunities”).
