We're building the roboadvisor of cloud.Current cloud spend tooling is recommendation-based which places the operational burden on already busy DevOps and FinOps teams. This leads to lag, is error prone, and fundamentally limits what is possible to that which a human can reasonably execute.We believe cloud cost optimization is best handled by AI, optimization algorithms, and real-time execution engines. Like roboadvisors in the financial investing space, ProsperOps enables customers to answer a few high level questions about their cloud use after which technology takes over to handle ongoing, day-to-day cost optimization activities.This generates superior savings outcomes (on average, our customers increase savings by 68%), reduces risk, and gives time back to our customers. We call it Autonomous Cloud Savings -- and it's how we do our part in helping businesses prosper in the cloud.
