Reports
The Reports section lets you analyze your cloud spend using predefined system reports or create fully customized reports using AI and manual building tools. Reports are designed to help you turn cost data into structured views, combining charts, KPIs, breakdowns, and explanations in a single place.
You can start a new report at any time or review the system-generated reports that appear automatically once your AWS data is available.
System Reports
System Reports appear automatically as soon as your cloud integration is connected and your initial data begins flowing into Amnic. These reports require no setup and are generated from predefined analytical logic that outlines your organization’s cost posture, spending patterns, and essential FinOps indicators.
Available System Reports
KPI Dashboard
A high-level financial overview designed to help you understand the state of your cloud environment at a glance. It highlights foundational KPIs such as total spend, month-over-month change, service-level distribution, and efficiency markers. This provides an immediate “health snapshot” of your environment without requiring configuration.
FinOps Benchmark
A standardized benchmark view that analyzes how your cost efficiency, usage patterns, and operational behaviors compare to your historical trends. Instead of raw data, this report contextualizes your performance, helping you identify unusual shifts, emerging inefficiencies, or areas that merit deeper investigation.
System Reports are read-only, consistent for all users in your organization, and intentionally opinionated to provide instant visibility. They also appear separately from Manual Reports so you always know whether you're viewing a system-generated baseline or a customized report built by your team.
Manual Reports
Manual Reports allow you to build your own structured report using AI-guided creation or block-by-block editing. This is the main workflow for creating tailored dashboards or multi-section reports.
When you create a new report, you land on a workspace where you can choose how to begin.
Starting a New Report
The New Report screen gives you easy way to start building:
Ask the Reporting Agent to build your report
You can describe what you want to analyze, and the system begins a conversational flow. Example prompts appear on the page, such as:
“Show me a breakdown of my costs by service for the last month.”
“Analyze the S3 storage cost spike that occurred last week.”
“How can I improve my Reserved Instance coverage to maximize savings?”
Once you submit your request, Amnic asks clarifying questions. These appear as selectable options, for example:
How many services to include (Top 5, Top 10, etc.)
What time period “last month” should represent
Whether to include additional dimensions like Region or Account
Your choices help the system build a structured report that matches what you need.
Working with the Reporting Agent
Once your report exists, a conversation sidebar appears on the right side. You can type natural language instructions to refine the report at any time, it's like having a report-building assistant that understands what you're trying to achieve.
The agent's behavior depends on what you've selected:
Editing the entire report
If no block is selected, your instructions apply to the whole report. You can:
Add new charts
Add text sections
Modify global settings
Introduce new KPIs or summaries
This lets you expand the report without manually placing each block.
Editing a specific block
If you click Edit with AI on a block, the system enters a focused mode. Your instructions then apply only to that block. For example:
Filtering the data used in that chart
Changing how the breakdown is calculated
Adding or removing dimensions in that specific visualization
Focused editing helps keep complex reports organized.
Manual Visual Adjustments
Each block supports manual editing for appearance.
You can update:
Chart types
Colors
Labels
These changes affect the visual presentation only. Data-level operations, like adjusting filters, time ranges, or groupings, must be issued through AI in the sidebar to ensure consistent queries.
Managing Report Elements
Reports are flexible and can be updated at any time. You can:
Add new charts through AI prompts
Insert metric blocks for specific KPIs
Add text blocks for commentary or explanations
Rearrange blocks to change the flow
Remove blocks or delete the entire report when no longer needed
This gives you complete control over how the final report is structured.
Renaming a Report
Reports can be renamed at any time.
Click the kebab menu beside the report name and update it to reflect your focus or audience. This allows you to maintain clarity as you create multiple reports.
Deleting a Report
You can delete a report entirely if you no longer need it.
Deleting a report removes all blocks, layout information, and AI history associated with it.
Sharing a Report
Reports can be shared through the share options in the upper right of the report page.
Sharing allows teammates to view the report and makes it easier to distribute cost insights or operational summaries across the organization. You can also send a PDF copy of the report to any communication channel configured in your workspace, such as Slack or Microsoft Teams. Additional configuration and delivery controls are available in the Notification Center, where you manage connected communication channels and message delivery preferences.
Exporting Reports
Reports support exporting content for use outside of Amnic.
You can:
Download the entire report
Download or copy individual charts
This makes it easy to include visuals or sections in presentations, documents, or internal communication.
