AI cost optimization agent that runs inside your VPC; no data leaves your AWS account. Unlike SaaS tools, MickAi queries Cost Explorer and CloudWatch directly for real-time savings recommendations.
MickAi is an AWS cost optimization agent built on Amazon Bedrock that deploys as a containerized service inside your own VPC via Amazon ECS or EKS. Your billing data and infrastructure details never leave your AWS account.
Why MickAi Over SaaS Cost Tools
Traditional cost optimization platforms like CloudHealth require exporting Cost Explorer data, CloudWatch metrics, and resource configurations to third-party environments. This creates delayed batch exports, data egress costs, and external credential exposure.
MickAi takes a fundamentally different approach: it queries your AWS APIs directly inside your account boundary, delivering real-time analysis with zero data leaving your environment. This eliminates third party data sharing risks and satisfies strict data residency requirements without additional security reviews.
Key Capabilities
AWS Cost Analysis:
Deep service level cost breakdown with anomaly detection and month over month trend analysis across EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, and NAT Gateways.
Idle Resource Detection:
CloudWatch backed detection of underutilized instances, unattached Elastic IPs, and idle resources with estimated monthly savings and remediation steps. Deployments typically surface 15 to 40% in actionable cost reduction opportunities on first scan.
Reserved Instance and Savings Plan Advisor:
Analyzes 60days of usage patterns to recommend optimalRI and Savings Plan commitments with projected ROI and payback period. Supports one click remediation playbooks for identified savings opportunities.
AI-Powered Natural Language Interface:
Powered by Amazon Bedrock (Claude), ask questions about your AWS costs in plain English and get actionable answers instantly, no dashboard navigation required.
Security and Encryption:
MickAi is designed with enterprise security requirements in mind.
In transit: TLS 1.2+ encryption via ACM certificate on ALB
At rest: AES256 encryption for RDS storage and S3 server side encryption
Secrets management: All credentials stored in AWS Secrets Manager
Access model: Read only IAM role with least privilege permissions
SOC 2: Certification currently in progress
No data leaves your AWS account boundary at any point during analysis.
Example Use Case
A SaaS engineering team running 50+ EC2

For startups and small engineering teams. Analyze up to 1 AWS account with up to $50K monthly spend. Includes idle resource detection, Reserved Instance recommendations, and spend forecasting. Email support with 72-hour response SLA.
$59.00
Business
For growing organizations managing multiple AWS accounts. Analyze up to 10 AWS accounts with up to $500K combined monthly spend. Includes all Starter features plus multi account dashboards and Savings Plans optimization. Priority email support with 24 hour response SLA.
$179.00
Enterprise
For large enterprises with unlimited AWS accounts and spend. Includes all Business features plus private VPC deployment, SSO integration, SOC2 evidence collection, and a dedicated support engineer with 4 hour SLA via phone and Slack.
You choose one of three contract tiers based on how many AWS accounts you manage and your monthly AWS spend. Starter covers 1 account up to $50K monthly spend. Business covers up to 10 accounts and up to $500K combined monthly spend. Enterprise removes account and spend limits. The tiers stack: Business adds to Starter, and Enterprise adds to Business. Higher tiers also raise support levels, shortening response times and adding phone and Slack access. Enterprise adds private VPC deployment, SSO, and compliance evidence collection. Pricing scales with account count, spend ceiling, and support commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
How does the monthly AWS spend limit affect my tier choice and billing?
Each tier sets a spend ceiling your analyzed AWS accounts must stay under. Starter covers up to $50K, Business up to $500K combined, and Enterprise removes the limit. The ceiling reflects the AWS spend the agent analyzes, not a charge on that spend. Exceeding your ceiling means moving to a higher tier.
What defines an "AWS account" for billing, and do linked organization accounts count separately?
Each AWS account you connect for analysis counts toward your tier limit. Starter analyzes 1 account, Business up to 10, Enterprise unlimited. The agent supports AWS Organizations and multi-region setups, so linked member accounts in an organization each count against your account allowance.
What extra capabilities does the Enterprise tier add beyond account and spend limits?
Enterprise adds private VPC deployment, so analysis runs inside your own network. It also includes SSO integration and SOC2 evidence collection, which organizes audit-ready compliance data. You get a dedicated support engineer with a 4-hour SLA via phone and Slack, versus email support on lower tiers.

Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.

An ECS Fargate cluster or EKS cluster
STEP 1: Deploy the IAM analysis role
Download and deploy the CloudFormation template from:
https://nimickcompany.com/docs
This creates a read-only IAM role (MickAiAnalysisRole) that MickAi uses to read your Cost Explorer, CloudWatch, and resource APIs. No write permissions are granted.
STEP 2: Set required environment variables
The container requires the following environment variables at runtime:
STEP 4: Verify deployment
Health check endpoint: GET https://your-domain/healthz
Expected response: {"status":"ok","service":"mickai-core"}
STEP 5: Authenticate API requests
All API requests require the x-mickai-api-key header. Your API key is shown on the fulfillment page immediately after subscribing.
