# Quickstart Get started with Noros in minutes. Noros is an AI-powered assistant for cloud operations that connects directly to your AWS or GCP environment and gives you instant visibility into your cloud costs, optimization opportunities, and more — all through a conversational interface. ### Create Your Account 1. Visit [app.noros.ai](https://app.noros.ai/) 2. Sign in with your work email using **Google**, **Microsoft**, or **GitHub**. A work email address is required — public email providers (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) are not supported. 3. Enter your company name when prompted. ### Connect Your Cloud Account Once you're signed in, Noros will walk you through connecting your first cloud account directly in the chat. You can connect: * **AWS** — Noros will guide you through deploying a CloudFormation stack that grants read-only access to your cost and usage data. [Learn more about AWS onboarding →](/getting-started/connect-your-aws-account.md) * **GCP** — Noros will guide you through sharing your BigQuery billing dataset with read-only access. [Learn more about GCP onboarding →](/getting-started/connect-your-gcp-account.md) The entire onboarding process happens in the chat — just follow the prompts and Noros will handle the rest. ### Set Up Billing After connecting your cloud account, you'll be prompted to choose a plan: * **Startup** — $99/seat/month, 100 queries per month, 14-day free trial * **Enterprise** — $399/month, 5 users, 5,000 queries per month, 14-day free trial Both plans include a 14-day free trial so you can explore Noros before committing. You can manage your subscription at any time from **Settings > Billing**. ### Start Asking Questions Once your cloud account is connected and verified, you're ready to go. Just type a question in the chat. Here are some great first questions to try: * **"What did we spend last month?"** — Get a high-level breakdown of your cloud costs. * **"What are my top spending services?"** — Identify where your budget is going. * **"Are there any cost anomalies?"** — Surface unexpected spending spikes. * **"What optimization opportunities do I have?"** — Get actionable recommendations to reduce waste. * **"What's my savings plan utilization?"** — Understand how well your commitments are being used. ### What's Next * [Explore what Noros can do →](/features/what-noros-can-do.md) * [Invite your team →](/account-management/team-members.md) * [Connect Slack for notifications →](/account-management/integrations.md) * [Learn about security and data privacy →](/getting-started/security.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
