# Quickstart

Get started with Noros in minutes.

Get started with Noros in minutes. Noros is an AI-powered assistant for cloud operations that connects directly to your AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure 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)
* **Google Cloud** — 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Using Azure?** Noros analyzes Azure spend, and answers questions about it the same way it does for AWS and Google Cloud. Azure accounts are connected through North today. Connecting an Azure account from Noros directly is coming.
{% endhint %}

### Set Up Billing

After you connect your cloud account, Noros asks you to choose a plan: Starter or Enterprise. See the [Noros pricing page](https://www.noros.ai/pricing) for the price of each plan, what each plan includes, and the length of the free trial. 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.noros.ai/getting-started/quickstart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
