AI connector — ChatGPT & Claude

Find the AWS savings your dashboard hides

Your personal cloud cost expert — always available, in any language. Ask questions in natural language, get live data with dynamic charts, and receive tailored optimization opportunities.

Talk with the service through your AI chat interface (ChatGPT or Claude) in English, or in another language your LLM supports.

Typical finding: "Your RDS instance is costing $2,400/month. Aurora Serverless could cut that to $600."

RDS is often the top quick win — most teams overpay for databases they could right-size or migrate to serverless.

How does it work?

Two steps to a live cost conversation.

Step 1 — Connect Your AWS Account

Grant read-only access to your billing data with a single CloudFormation stack. No credentials stored.

1

Deploy Stack

Download the CloudFormation template and deploy it in your AWS account. It creates a read-only IAM role with minimal billing permissions.

2

Copy Role ARN

After the stack completes, copy the Role ARN from the Outputs tab in CloudFormation.

3

Start Optimizing

Open Cost Coach in ChatGPT or Claude. It connects automatically and runs your first cost analysis.

Read-only access only

The IAM role grants read-only access scoped to four areas: cost & billing (ce:Get*, budgets:Describe*), account inventory (organizations:List*, tag:Get*), resource describes (ec2:Describe*, rds:Describe*, elasticache:Describe*, redshift:Describe*, elasticloadbalancing:Describe*, s3:ListAllMyBuckets), and utilization metrics (cloudwatch:GetMetricStatistics, cloudwatch:ListMetrics). No resources can be created, modified, or deleted. An ExternalId condition prevents confused-deputy attacks.

Step 2 — Start Talking

Ask anything about your AWS costs in natural language. Here are some ways to get started.
