Hi everyone, I've been working on a side project over quarantine called Usage.ai and I finally feel comfortable enough to launch it. We're a service that plugs directly into AWS, automatically finds savings, and applies those savings at the press of a confirmation button all without ever needing to go to an AWS console.<p>I'd love to get HN's thoughts on it!<p>Demo: https://www.loom.com/share/2a6f1c8e4c214914a1cdd88c6fdec4ac<p>Link: https://www.usage.ai/
"Usage costs 10% of your expected annual savings spread over a 12-month agreement."<p>This is hard for me to sell. Not because it doesnt make sense, but because its damned hard to propose in my budget submission. Its equivalent to me saying "I am requesting an unknown amount based on potential savings, that we may, or may be able to implement across this financial year". I cant easily get that across during a budget submission, and it's going to be difficult to pitch at another time after money has been allocated and I have no idea if I can go through change management to realise the savings in the same billing time as any agreement.<p>Might I suggest you make it linked to current expenditure?
Hi everyone, Kaveh here. I'm the main developer of this project. If anyone has any questions or wants to test drive the platform, feel free to email me at setup@usage.ai to set up a private 1:1 consultation or post here :)
