Infrawise

Validating · Emerged · 58 days old · Last reviewed

Infrawise is an AI-agent Azure cost-optimization tool that plugs into a customer's cloud environment through a read-only allowlist of Azure APIs and returns prioritized rightsizing, idle-resource, and spend-reduction recommendations in a React/TypeScript dashboard. The agent can recommend, but it cannot write or delete anything in the customer's Azure tenant.

The MVP launched on Show HN, April 19, 2026. Co-founder Peter (HN: pdroid12) described a Java Spring Boot backend using Microsoft Semantic Kernel to call Azure Resource Graph, Cost Management, and Monitor APIs, feeding live data to an AI agent. The product is free during beta; signup goes through email at infrawiseai.com.

💡

A team running Azure VMs asks Infrawise to audit spend. The agent pulls utilization from Resource Graph and Cost Management, identifies idle VMs and over-provisioned SKUs, then surfaces a prioritized list of rightsizing moves and cost-cut actions in a React/TypeScript dashboard — without ever getting write access to the environment.

Like a FinOps consultant who can only read your Azure bill and utilization, never touch the knobs.

Signal low
Revenue weak

MVP with one HN post and no visible traction; competes against Holori, nOps, Turbo360, and Azure Copilot for the same FinOps buyer.

Risk · Microsoft's own Azure Copilot ships agentic cost optimization, squeezing third-party FinOps AI agents on the Azure-only slice.

Monetization timeline
  1. now
    Free beta, manual onboarding

    No self-serve signup; email-gated 10-minute setup call.

  2. 3-6mo
    Paid tier or pivot

    Needs pricing page and usage-based SaaS model to survive past beta traction window.

  3. 6-12mo
    Multi-cloud or die

    Azure-only scope is narrow; AWS/GCP coverage likely required to win enterprise buyers.
