It creates cloud solutions focused on practical applications, delivering efficiencies that save customers time to market while optimizing performance and costs.

Background:

Automat-it is leveraging Anodot’s innovative CostGPT platform to deliver exceptional value to its clients. The company’s expansion revealed the need for a more efficient and scalable solution to optimize FinOps for its clients. Automat-it partnered with Anodot to integrate its AI-driven CostGPT platform into daily operations to meet this demand.

Partnering with Automat-it and leveraging their POC recommendations, Anodot moved an agent to Amazon Bedrock from OpenAI and achieved a 30% classification performance improvement.The Amazon Bedrock-based classification agent, co-developed with Automat-it, addresses the complexity of cloud cost management by providing straightforward answers to complex queries, such as:

  • Listing services launched within a specific timeframe.
  • Calculating cost savings from optimization efforts across different regions.
  • Determining the percentage coverage of various EBS storage types.
  • Identifying services most impacted by anomalies and accounts with significant cost increases.
  • Amazon Bedrock’s flexibility, scalability, and simplicity enabled Anodot to test alternatives to GPT-4. Benchmarking and evaluation led to the selection of Claude 2 for usage with one of the agents, which proved to be 30% faster while maintaining similar performance levels to GPT-4.
