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.

Ask Anything

Ask any question about your cloud costs in plain language. Noros can handle everything from simple lookups to complex multi-dimensional analysis.

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

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"
