It lives in your Slack, answers your team about cost, security and incidents in seconds, and tells you what needs doing before it becomes an incident. One plan covers the agent and the monitoring, and the full AWS audit comes free with it — the audit is not a discount, it's how we start.

The agent answering your team in Slack, the monitoring catching things before they bite, and the audit findings that start it all — the three pieces you pay for, in under a minute.
Audit free · Monitoring included · Cancel anytime · Nothing charged before work is delivered
A DevOps engineer costs $150k–$180k a year — around $100 an hour once you load benefits, tax and the months they are not busy. You don't need one on payroll. You need the work done when it comes up, and someone watching in between. That is what this is: a subscription that watches, and credits that build.
The agent writes the plan and puts a number of credits on it. You see that number before you say yes — and nothing starts until you do.
Work gets done first. You review the deliverable. Then you pay. Every single time — no exceptions.
Migrations, incident fixes, cost cleanup, security remediation — bought in credits when you need them, costing nothing when you don't.
Monthly services cancel with one message. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no awkward calls with sales teams.
There is one way to work with me and this is it — the agent and the monitoring on a single monthly price, and the audit given away because it is what makes the other two work.
The AI DevOps Agent is $249/mo and AWS Monitoring & Alerts is $149/mo. They are sold as one plan at $349/mo — $49 a month less than the two apart — because neither does its job properly without the other. The monitoring is what wakes the agent up; the agent is what makes an alert mean something.
The Complete AWS Audit comes with it at no cost — $599 you don't pay. That one really is free, and not as a promotion: the agent can't watch an account nobody has read yet, and monitoring doesn't know what to alert on until that list exists. The audit is step one, so charging for it separately never made sense.
After that you only pay implementation credits at $34.90 each, and only when you approve the plan the agent writes for you.

The audit is yours at no cost with the plan
Four things keep coming up when clients describe what the agent, the monitoring and the audit did to their AWS account: the bill, the speed, the security holes, and finally being able to see what is running.
“We brought in the AWS DevOps agent expecting basic automation help, but the real win was our AWS bill — it dropped noticeably within the first couple of months without us sacrificing performance.”
“Our infrastructure just runs better now. Response times improved across the board and we stopped getting paged for issues that used to eat up our nights.”
“The security review alone was worth it. They found gaps in our AWS setup we didn’t know existed and helped us close them fast.”
“For the first time, we actually have a clear picture of our AWS architecture. It used to feel like a black box — now we know exactly what’s running and why.”
“Honestly the biggest value was visibility. We went from guessing what was happening in our environment to having a full, clear view of everything.”
“Cost savings were immediate and kept compounding. What impressed us most was that nothing broke in the process.”
“Performance-wise, this was the upgrade we didn’t know we needed. Pages load faster, workloads run smoother, and our team isn’t firefighting anymore.”
“They tightened up our security posture in ways our internal team hadn’t gotten to. Peace of mind, basically.”
“We finally understand our own architecture. That sounds basic, but it changed how we make decisions about scaling.”
“The combination of cost reduction and better performance felt like it shouldn’t be possible at the same time — but that’s what we got.”
Short answers. If yours isn't here, reply to any email and you'll get a real one.
A read-only IAM role that you create, in your account, locked to my identity with a secret only we share. I cannot change a single resource with it, and you delete it whenever you like. Because the plan includes monitoring, there is a second role that can write — but only to create the CloudWatch alarms and their SNS topic, only during setup, and I ask you to delete it once it works.
No. The agent runs on your own API key, in an instance dedicated to you, and reads your account through that read-only role. Nothing is pooled with another client and nothing trains anything.
Stop paying. There is no contract, no notice period and no cancellation fee — nothing is charged automatically, so stopping is simply not paying next month. Delete the IAM role and I am out of your account entirely.
Because it isn't a one-off job. An account changes every week — new services, new spend, new people — and alert thresholds that were right in January are noise by March. The $149/mo keeps them tuned and keeps the pipelines watched, rather than handing you a config that quietly rots. It is billed as part of the $349/mo plan.
Because it is the first thing the agent needs. It answers questions about your account, and monitoring decides what is worth alerting on — neither works well until someone has read the account once. Charging separately for the step that makes the rest work was the wrong shape.
The agent is live in your Slack within 24 hours of you creating the role. The audit lands in the same window.
The audit costs you nothing either way, so there is nothing to refund there. On the plan, it is month to month — a month that gave you nothing is a month you do not renew, and nothing is charged automatically.

Not a faceless agency. One expert who owns the outcome.
Big 4 firms take 2–4 weeks. You get your full report the next business day — ready to act on immediately.
Every finding includes the exact AWS CLI command to fix it. No vague recommendations or "hire us again" upsells.
AI tooling accelerates analysis so you get faster, deeper coverage at lower cost — without sacrificing expert judgment.
Audits use a scoped read-only IAM role with ExternalID. I cannot modify a single resource in your account.
Average client saves $2,400/month after the AWS audit — and the audit is free. The $349/mo plan pays for itself several times over in the first month of savings.
If the audit doesn't surface at least 3 critical issues worth more than a month of the plan, say so and that month isn't billed. The audit is free either way.
The agent is live in your Slack within 24 hours, the monitoring goes up with it, and the $599 audit is yours at no cost. Cancel any month you like — nothing is charged automatically. Still weighing it up? Book a call instead and I'll tell you plainly whether it fits.
