Autonomous cloud cost optimization that pays for itself
Autonomous commitment management
An autonomous engine maps your usage patterns hourly, buys the optimal mix of Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and committed use discounts, and rebalances continuously to keep discounts high without locking you into long commitments.
Cost visibility and allocation
See multicloud, Kubernetes, SaaS, and AI spend at hourly granularity, with business context, forecasting, anomaly detection, and unit economics that show what actually drives cost.
AI cost intelligence
Allocate hourly AI spend to the model, account, team, customer, and feature behind it, covering providers such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Claude, and Cursor, with recommendations for token efficiency, model choice, and caching.
Savings tracking and workflows
Track Effective Savings Rate, commitment coverage, and realized savings in real time, and route alerts and tasks into tools like Slack, Jira, Datadog, and Snowflake.
Strengths & Pros
+Automated commitment purchasing and rebalancing removes recurring manual work
+Savings-share pricing aligns platform cost with measured results

Whimsical
The collaborative whiteboard built for product builders
Prompt-to-visual AI tools
AI Flowcharts, AI Mind Maps and AI Wireframes convert a short text prompt into structured, fully editable diagrams, branched mind maps, or web and mobile wireflows — no manual drawing required.
One infinite canvas
Boards host diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, embedded media and documents side by side, so a whole product narrative lives in a single shareable file.
Real-time multiplayer editing
Multiple teammates edit the same board simultaneously with live cursors, thread comments attached to specific objects, and mention-based notifications.
Wireframing and user flows
Drag-and-drop UI components let teams sketch screens, link them into clickable flows and iterate on product ideas before engineering commits to a build.

+Single workspace replaces separate diagramming, whiteboarding, wireframing and docs tools
+Unlimited viewers and guests are free on every plan, including Free

–Free plan caps you at 50 board objects and 50 doc blocks per month plus export watermarks
–AI credits are limited per seat and extra credits cost more
–Advanced admin and security features are locked behind the Business tier
–Very large, asset-heavy boards can feel slower than focused single-purpose tools
–No full offline mode; the desktop app still depends on connectivity
