NerdOn, the Born A Nerd AI persona
// NEW · OUR AI ALTER EGO //

MEET NERDON

NerdOn is the Born A Nerd persona you can message directly. Ask about a service, describe a problem, or find out whether we are the right fit, any time of day. NerdOn works the same way our AI operations do: facts from deterministic sources, drafts by AI, a human engineer before anything binding.

WHATSAPP TELEGRAM COMING SOON
NERDON
Our AWS bill jumped 30% last month and nobody knows why.
That is exactly what Cost Guardian looks for. Two quick questions: how many AWS accounts, and do you already use Cost Explorer? I can set up a read-only review with Milad.
// THE PRODUCT //

AWS COST GUARDIAN

A subscription service that keeps a senior engineer's eye on your AWS bill. Automated pipelines collect and analyze your cost data every week; an engineer reviews the findings and tells you what actually matters. Advisory-only by design: we recommend, your team stays in control of every change.

  • Weekly automated digest: spend by service, trends, and anomalies
  • Monthly engineer-reviewed findings and quarterly review calls
  • Read-only, cross-account IAM role: we never get write access
