# What Noros Can Do Noros is your AI-powered cloud operations assistant. Instead of navigating dashboards and building reports, you ask questions in plain language and Noros delivers answers, analysis, and recommendations in seconds. Noros connects directly to your AWS and GCP environments and uses advanced AI models to analyze your cost and usage data in real time. Every response is grounded in your actual data — not generic advice. You can explore everything Noros can do by opening the **Explore Capabilities** panel in the app. Capabilities are organized into the following categories. ### Ask & Explore Conversational analysis powered by your real cloud data. #### Cost Breakdown See where your cloud budget is going with detailed spending breakdowns by service, region, account, or any other dimension. **Try asking:** "Show me a detailed cost breakdown of my cloud spending" [Learn more →](/features/cost-breakdown.md) #### Anomaly Detection Detect unusual spending patterns and cost spikes at the resource level using advanced pattern recognition that filters out noise from normal operations. **Try asking:** "Are there any cost anomalies or unusual spending patterns in my cloud accounts?" [Learn more →](/features/anomaly-detection.md) #### Savings Opportunities Find actionable ways to reduce cloud spending by identifying commitment coverage gaps, high-cost resources, and spending patterns that suggest waste or inefficiency. **Try asking:** "What are the top savings opportunities across my cloud accounts?" [Learn more →](/features/savings-opportunities.md) #### Cost Trends Track how your spending changes over time, compare periods, and forecast future costs using ML-powered projections with growth rate scenarios and variance bands. **Try asking:** "How has my spending changed over the past 6 months?" [Learn more →](/features/cost-trends-and-forecasting.md) #### Ask Anything Ask any question about your cloud costs in plain language. Noros can handle everything from simple lookups to complex multi-dimensional analysis. **Try asking:** "Why is my bill so high this month?" #### FinOps Score Check your FinOps maturity and cloud efficiency with a composite score (0.0–1.0) that reflects commitment utilization, coverage, and savings performance. **Try asking:** "What's my FinOps score?" [Learn more →](/features/reservation-and-commitment-health.md) #### Sustainability Track your cloud carbon footprint and sustainability metrics including emissions, water usage, and power consumption across your infrastructure. **Try asking:** "What is my cloud carbon footprint and how can I reduce it?" [Learn more →](/features/sustainability-and-greenops.md) #### Reservation & Commitment Health Monitor reserved instance utilization, coverage, and savings plan performance to ensure your commitments are working as hard as they can. **Try asking:** "What's my savings plan utilization and coverage?" [Learn more →](/features/reservation-and-commitment-health.md) #### Budgets Set and track YTD, MTD, or custom date range budgets for your cloud accounts. Noros reports on budget status, pacing, and alerts you when spending approaches or exceeds your thresholds. **Try asking:** "Are we on budget this month?" [Learn more →](/features/budgets.md) ### Visualize Noros automatically generates visual representations of your data to make patterns and trends easier to understand. * **Cost charts** — Stacked bar, line, and area charts for spending over time * **Bar charts** — Vertical and horizontal bar charts for category comparisons * **Flow diagrams** — Sankey-style visualizations for cost flows Charts and visualizations are generated automatically when relevant to your query — just ask a question and Noros will choose the best way to present the data. ### Reports & Schedules Automate your reporting workflow so you always have the data you need. * **Scheduled reports** — Set up recurring cost summaries, anomaly reports, or custom queries on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence * **On-demand reports** — Ask Noros to generate a report on any topic at any time **Try asking:** "Schedule a weekly cost summary for every Monday" [Learn more about scheduled insights →](/features/reports-and-schedules.md) ### Monitor & Alert Stay informed about important changes in your cloud environment. * **Anomaly alerts** — Get notified when unusual spending patterns are detected * **Budget alerts** — Track spending against budgets and receive alerts when thresholds are approached or exceeded * **Savings & commitment alerts** — Stay informed about savings opportunities and commitment health changes * **Notification delivery** — Receive alerts in-app and via Slack [Learn more about notifications →](/account-management/monitoring-and-notifications.md) ### Data & Tables Access detailed data for in-depth analysis. * **CUR data querying** — Query your Cost and Usage Report data with natural language, translated to SQL behind the scenes * **Data tables** — View detailed tabular data with sorting and filtering * **Data exports** — Export data for use in external tools and reports [Learn more about advanced querying →](/features/advanced-data-querying.md) ### Account & Setup * **Cloud account onboarding** — Connect and verify AWS and GCP accounts directly through the chat [Learn more about connecting accounts →](/getting-started/quickstart.md) ### Multi-Cloud Support Noros supports both **AWS** and **GCP** environments. You can connect multiple accounts from both providers and switch between them seamlessly. When asking questions, Noros operates within the context of your currently selected account. ### Data Security Every query Noros processes runs within a secure, isolated environment. Your data never leaves the secure cloud boundary, is never used for model training, and is never accessible to other customers. [Learn more about security →](/getting-started/security.md) ### Powered by North Noros is built on [North](https://north.cloud), an AI-driven cloud FinOps platform. When you're ready for more — managed commitment savings, visual dashboards, CostStreams configuration, reshaping workflows, and team collaboration tools — you can upgrade to the full North platform.
