# Usage AI Discussions

Usage AI is a cloud cost optimization and commitment management platform for FinOps and engineering teams using AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. It helps companies manage eligible Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, and Committed Use Discounts while adapting commitment coverage as usage changes. Automated commitment management Usage AI analyzes usage patterns, identifies savings opportunities, and manages supported commitments. Autopilot automates commitment purchases and management, while Copilot lets teams review and approve recommendations before purchase. Cashback protection for eligible underutilization Flex Insured Commitments provide Cashback protection for eligible unused committed value under the applicable agreement, helping teams manage the risk of changing cloud usage. Savings and coverage visibility Teams can review recommendations, monitor commitment coverage and utilization, and track savings across supported services through one platform. Setup without application changes Usage AI starts with read-only billing and usage access. Automated purchasing requires the appropriate commitment-purchase permissions. No agents or application code changes are required. Pricing based on savings Usage AI charges a percentage of the realized savings it generates, with no upfront platform fee. A savings assessment shows eligible opportunities, projected fees, and expected net savings before purchase.
