You are probably overpaying AWS by 30%. I built an automated agent to find exactly where your startup is bleeding cash.
Don't believe me? You can prove me wrong by running the free waste audit on my site right now. If your AWS bill is perfectly optimized, you lose 2 minutes of your day. If it's not, you might find thousands of dollars in runway you didn't know you were burning.
Every SaaS founder knows the pain of checking AWS Cost Explorer and seeing a massive spike, only to realize a dev left a GPU instance running all weekend or orphaned a dozen EBS volumes last month. Dashboards don't fix the problem; they just show you a graph of money you already lost.
I wanted a system that actually closes the loop, so I built an AI-powered FinOps agent called ScaleToZero.
Here is how the solution actually works:
- The Scan: It uses a LangGraph workflow and Claude to scan your infrastructure against 17 specific waste patterns (zombie ML instances, stale snapshots, weekend idle, etc.).
- The Alert: Instead of hiding in a dashboard, it pings your engineering team in Slack: "ScaleToZero detected 2 idle ML GPUs. Cost: $2,240/mo." * The Execution: It gives you an [Approve] or [Ignore] button right in the message. If you click Approve, the agent executes the termination API call.
- The Safety Net: Every action has a 24-hour Undo window, and resources tagged
Env=prodare hard-coded to never be touched automatically.
The Free Compatibility Audit:
I just launched this, and before anyone pays for a subscription, I want to make sure your infrastructure actually has the type of waste my agent detects. Some startups are perfectly optimized; most are bleeding cash.
To test this, I set up a free, one-time read-only scan.
I hate when vendors ask for sweeping IAM access, so I engineered this to be bulletproof:
- You run a 2-minute CloudShell script (available on my site).
- It creates a strictly read-only role locked to my unique
ExternalId. - It only uses AWS-managed policies:
SecurityAuditandViewOnlyAccess. I literally cannot stop, delete, or modify anything, nor can I read your database rows or S3 contents. - I run the scanner and hand you a PDF report within 24 hours detailing the exact resource IDs and the dollar amount of waste.
You can take that PDF, manually delete the waste, keep 100% of the savings, and nuke the IAM role immediately after.
