## Cost Optimization That Meets You Where You Work

PointFive helps engineers investigate infrastructure waste and prepare remediation. MCP Server brings PointFive context into compatible AI tools and IDEs.

### Shift Left Cost Intelligence

Bring cost awareness into the development lifecycle before deployment. Receive real-time cost insights during code reviews, architecture planning, and infrastructure changes.

### Workflow-Native Automation

Transform manual cost optimization processes into conversational, automated workflows. From validation to assignment to remediation, without context-switching.

### End-to-End Orchestration

From discovery to validation to remediation. Validate opportunities, identify owners via Slack, assign work, and generate infrastructure-as-code fixes.

## The Complete Optimization Lifecycle, Conversationally

Five tool categories covering everything from opportunity discovery to commitment optimization, all accessible through natural language today, with billing-data access coming soon.

### Opportunities

Get, filter, aggregate, and group optimization opportunities across all cloud services

### Resources

Query resources, analyze connections, and surface linked optimization opportunities

### Anomalies

List active anomalies, analyze root causes, and identify top cost contributors

### Commitments

Access reservation and savings plan recommendations with coverage analysis

### Billing Data (coming soon)

CUR and FOCUS billing data access for deep cost analysis

## Real Workflows, Natural Language

### Validate

"Show CPU utilization for the past 3 months and check if it exceeded 5%"

### Collaborate

"Examine opportunity #343, identify the owner, and share via Slack"

### Operate

"Identify all database opportunities and assign to the DBA team"

### Remediate

"Fix opportunity #343 and update the .tf configuration file"

### Discover

"Find all resources costing more than $10k/month with low-risk optimization opportunities"

### Report

"Give me a summary of any active anomalies and new opportunities since yesterday"
