Frugal AI

Introduction to Frugal AI

Frugal AI is a state-of-the-art Application Cost Engineering (ACE) platform that is pioneering a unique approach to cloud cost optimization. Unlike conventional FinOps tools that focus primarily on infrastructure expenditure analysis, Frugal AI delves into the actual source code, scrutinizing it for inefficient patterns that could lead to overspending on cloud services. By employing AI-driven automation, Frugal AI is capable of producing pull requests tailored to reduce consumption of costly cloud resources, thereby supporting developers to maintain their productivity without compromises.

Key Features of Frugal AI

• Code-Level Cost Tracking: Frugal AI pinpoints the exact lines of code that cause financial waste in the cloud infrastructure, correlating code with logs, metrics, and spending to provide clear cost visibility.
• Automated Optimization: The platform's AI agents, known as Frugal Fixes, automatically identify and remediate patterns in the code that are not cost-effective, providing estimated savings alongside the generated optimized patches.
• Continuous Cost Monitoring: Integrating seamlessly into existing CI/CD pipelines, Frugal AI prevents future waste by analyzing commits and pull requests for potential cost impacts before they merge into the production environment.
• Frugalbot: This conversational AI assistant is aimed at developers and FinOps teams, facilitating queries on cloud cost patterns, cost traps, and providing remediations backed by relevant code context.

How Frugal AI Empowers Engineers

"An Intelligent Application Cost Engineering platform that optimizes code to reduce cloud costs automatically - empowering engineers without slowing development."

Frugal AI serves as an intelligent partner in the software development lifecycle. By providing automated suggestions and fixes that have quantifiable cost impacts, it empowers engineers to make informed decisions that align with financial efficiency without hindering their workflow. The optimizations offered by Frugal AI can include rebalancing of resource costs, rightsizing of logs and metrics, efficient AI token consumption through prompt caching, and application of caching and batching to mitigate frequent, expensive cloud interactions.

Security and Compliance

Frugal AI ensures data security and compliance with a security-first architecture, offering read-only access to source code and observability data, encrypted data both in transit and at rest, and adhering to least privilege access principles. Additionally, for environments with heightened security requirements, Frugal AI can be deployed privately, running entirely within an organization's cloud without any data leaving its confines. The platform prides itself on following industry best practices for cloud security and maintaining SOC2 Type 2 certification.
