Tasks

The Insights Agent is your conversational gateway to understanding cloud costs. As soon as your AWS integration is connected, the agent is ready to answer questions, spot patterns, and help you make sense of your spending, no dashboards, no SQL, just plain language.

How It Collaborates With You

From the moment your cloud integration connects, the Tasks is ready to work.

It doesn’t “look up” values. It interprets your situation, your workloads, cost patterns, and operational context, and responds with insights that make sense for your environment.

Instant Start

You can begin collaborating immediately with the initial cost and usage data available from your provider.

Evolving Intelligence

If you’ve connected a richer billing dataset such as a CUR, the assistant deepens its understanding in real time. As the full dataset loads over the first several hours, its responses naturally evolve, from high-level estimates to precise, resource-level explanations, without any action required from you.

Solving Problems, Not Just Answering Questions

You don’t need to know filters, services, tagging keys, or metric names. Just describe the problem you want to solve, and the assistant handles the complexity for you.

Examples of real problems you can hand over

  • “Help me understand why my bill is higher than last month.”

  • “Identify where I’m over-spending on compute and show the inefficiencies.”

  • “Find out who or what is driving the spike in storage spend this week.”

  • “Evaluate the cost trend for my production environment and highlight any changes.”

The Tasks maintains full conversational context, so you can refine your analysis naturally:

  • “Drill down to us-east-1.”

  • “Compare that to last week.”

  • “Filter to only production.”

  • “Show me the top contributors.”

It remembers where you are in the problem-solving process, just as working with a knowledgeable colleague would.

Coordinating Specialized Capabilities

The Tasks doesn’t work alone. Behind the scenes, it draws on different analytical capabilities, each designed to understand a specific dimension of your cloud costs.

Just like different humans bring different expertise, the system taps into the right skillsets depending on your problem:

  • When investigating a spike, it uses the capability that identifies unusual patterns and contributing factors.

  • When exploring efficiency, it uses logic designed to analyze usage behaviors and highlight waste.

  • When you ask for trends, it applies time-series reasoning to reveal movements and variance.

  • When you need structured guidance, it synthesizes the result into a clear narrative or visualization.

All of this coordination happens automatically. You receive one unified response without having to think about which internal capability was used.

Visual Thinking Built In

Some problems are easier to understand visually. When your challenge involves trends, growth, breakdowns, or comparisons, the Tasks automatically creates the right visual output.

Supported visual types include:

  • Line

  • Bar

  • Pie

  • Donut

  • Radar

  • Polar Area

These visuals appear directly inside the conversation so you can continue the dialogue based on what you see, refining, drilling down, or shifting perspective without ever leaving the thread.

A Focused Workspace for Problem-Solving

The interface is designed to feel like a collaborative workspace, not a query tool:

  • Clear conversational thread so you can track your reasoning path

  • Embedded visuals that appear exactly where they’re needed

  • Responsive layout that adapts to any screen

  • Smooth transitions and loaders that keep you aware of progress

The Tasks becomes a consistent partner in your FinOps workflow, helping you move from a vague problem to a precise, actionable insight without switching tools or context.
