Amazon QuickPowered by Amazon Quick

FinOps Center includes the AI FinOps Agent no other CFM platform has.

Every FinOps Center deployment includes Agent Bill: a purpose-built AI agent that knows your governance hierarchy, your workload estimates, your model approvals, and your pending business decisions. Your Product Owners, FinOps Leaders, and CFO office can ask questions, take governed action, and close the month without touching the AWS console. Available embedded in FinOps Center and on Amazon Quick Desktop.

HOW IT WORKS

An 8-step governed pipeline. Raw data to role-scoped conversation.

Agent Bill is not a chatbot on top of your data. It is a governed architecture built entirely inside your AWS account, across three conceptual layers.

Layer 1
Data FoundationYour data, merged and governed
Amazon S3Amazon DynamoDBAmazon AthenaAmazon Cognito
01

Data Extraction

Two streams merged inside your AWS account: Allocation and User Mapping data from FinOps Center (DynamoDB), and CUR 2.0 data from S3. CUR knows what was spent. FinOps Center knows who owns it. Together they produce workload-attributed AI spend.

02

Role-Scoped Athena Queries

The merged dataset is queried via Amazon Athena with per-role Row-Level Security baked into the query layer. A Product Owner's query physically cannot return another team's rows. This is the security boundary, not a display filter.

Layer 2
Intelligence LayerRole-aware knowledge, not generic chat
Amazon Quick TopicsAmazon Quick SpacesAmazon Quick Embedded
03

Curated Topics per Role

Amazon Quick Topics configured with curated semantic layers for each role: synonyms, aggregation rules, named entities (model names, platforms, token types), and week/period definitions. Natural language maps to your data, not generic AWS billing fields.

04

Amazon Quick Spaces per Role

Each curated Topic is published into a role-specific Amazon Quick Space. Space membership is managed by the FinOps Center onboarding process. A Product Owner can only be added to their Product Owner Space, never the FinOps Lead Space.

05

Customized Agent Personas

Agent Bill is configured with a custom persona for each role. A FinOps Lead gets governance-first framing, surfaces allocation gaps and coverage percentages. A Product Owner gets estimate vs actual, model-level cost drivers in plain language.

Layer 3
Action & AccessFrom insight to governance action, anywhere
API Gateway V2Amazon Bedrock AgentCoreAmazon Quick
06

MCP Server as Quick Action

A Model Context Protocol server is registered as a Quick Action inside each Amazon Quick Space. Authenticated via Cognito. All writes go through FinOps Center AppSync resolvers. Agent Bill can not only answer questions about AI spend, it can trigger governance actions without leaving the conversation.

07

Embedded in FinOps Center

Agent Bill is integrated directly into the FinOps Center web application. The authenticated Cognito session is passed to the Amazon Quick embedding layer with no second login. Agent Bill context is pre-seeded with the user's current view.

08

Amazon Quick Desktop

Agent Bill is also surfaced through Amazon Quick Desktop. The FinOps Center MCP server is registered as a connector. The same RLS enforcement applies. Quick Actions are available from the desktop for governance actions.

All 8 steps run inside your AWS account. No data is transmitted to external systems. No vendor cloud sits between your business teams and their governance processes.

AI COST GOVERNANCE AND CFM IN ONE CONVERSATION

Calibrated to the person asking. Scoped to what they own.

Business Request BR-0044 submitted on your behalf.

Platform: Amazon Bedrock · Model: Claude Sonnet 4.6

Accounts: AWSDemo2, AWSDemo10 · Region: us-east-1

Use case: Facilities maintenance ticket triage

Business case logged: Cost Saving, $2,400/mo declared value

Status: Pending FinOps Leader review. At your estimate the workload will consume roughly 80M input and 16M output tokens per month at $3.00/$15.00 per 1M, reasonable for a triage workload.

I will notify you when the FinOps Leader approves or requests changes.

WHERE AGENT BILL LIVES

Every AI governance and CFM process, one conversation away.

Agent Bill connects your business teams directly to FinOps Center governance processes, whether they are working inside FinOps Center or from their desktop.

THE DIFFERENCE

Other CFM platforms surface insights. They tell you what happened. A few have added a chat interface where you can ask questions about your spending. None of them can act on the answers.

Agent Bill is not a chat interface bolted onto FinOps Center. It is the conversational layer of the governance engine itself. Approve a Business Request. Action an Allocation Gap. Accept a Cloud Spend Card. Route Cloud Engineer tasks to Jira. Every action runs through the same governed workflow as the FinOps Center UI, because it is the same system, reached through a different surface.

FinOps Center governs. Agent Bill is the conversation that makes that governance accessible to every role in your organization.

What FinOps Center with Agent Bill does that nothing else can.

Most CFM tools attribute and advise. FinOps Center governs and executes. Agent Bill is how every role in your business accesses that governance layer in plain English.

CONNECTED VIA MCP AND AGENTCORE RUNTIME

Agent Bill does not just talk. It acts across AI governance and CFM.

A purpose-built MCP server on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime connects Agent Bill to the FinOps Center AppSync GraphQL API. Every action routes through the same Cognito authentication, field-level access control, and approval chain as the FinOps Center UI.

30governed actions across 7 capability areas

Authentication flows through Amazon Cognito: no separate login, no API keys, no standing access. Agent Bill inherits the user session and validates every action against the same field-level authorization policies enforced by FinOps Center.

FIVE TOPICS: YOUR SPENDING, FULLY INDEXED

Ask anything. Agent Bill knows where to look.

Five purpose-built Amazon Quick Topics, each powered by CUR 2.0 data through Athena. Agent Bill routes every question to the right topic automatically: no user configuration, no topic selection, no ambiguity.

What you can ask
  • "What did the Facilities portfolio spend last week?"
  • "Show me cost by department for March"
  • "Which accounts drove the increase in January?"
  • "What is my variance against budget this month?"
  • "Break down spending by service for the Operations portfolio"
What is behind it
  • ·CUR 2.0 data via Athena: unblended cost, net cost, effective cost
  • ·Full hierarchy mapped as dimensions: Business Unit, Department, Portfolio, Product
  • ·Credit, fee, tax, refund, discount fields isolated for clean net cost
  • ·Billing entity and vendor dimensions for AWS, Marketplace, and third-party separation
  • ·Spend type classification: Claimed, Unclaimed, Shared

Row-Level Security ensures every user sees only the data they own, enforced at the dataset level.

WHY AGENT BILL IS DIFFERENT

Most CFM tools attribute and advise. FinOps Center governs and executes.

Agent Bill is how every role in your organization reaches that governance layer. Three things it does that no other CFM chat interface can.

01It governs. Not just answers.

When Agent Bill surfaces a problem, you can solve it without leaving the conversation.

Approve a Business Request for a new AI model. Action an Allocation Gap. Accept a Cloud Spend Card. Every action routes through the same governed workflow as the FinOps Center UI: no separate tool, no ticket, no console.

Other tools route your data through their cloud
02Your data stays yours.

Deployed inside your AWS account. End to end. No exceptions.

Your CUR data, your hierarchy, your user identities: none of it touches an external platform. Authorization enforces through your own Cognito and AppSync stack. This is not a promise. It is the architecture.

03The right answer for the right person.

Same question. Three answers. Each scoped to authority.

A Product Owner asking “what is my cost?” gets their product cost, not a company-wide number to filter down themselves. Agent Bill persona and Row-Level Security handle that automatically, from the moment the chat opens.

DATA ARCHITECTURE

Your data never leaves your account. Ever.

Agent Bill Topics are built on Amazon Athena views over your CUR 2.0 export, processed entirely within your AWS environment. No third-party platform. No SaaS ingestion pipeline. No copy of your billing data sitting outside your control.

CUR 2.0 Export

Delivered to S3 in your account, with IAM principal allocation enabled for AI workload attribution.

AWS Glue Crawler

Automatically catalogs new CUR deliveries and schema changes, including the line_item_iam_principal column.

Amazon Athena

Query engine for all cost calculations. Views maintained per organizational level (E1/E2/E3/E4) with role-appropriate column projection.

Amazon Quick Datasets

One dataset per role level, each with its own SPICE schedule and Row-Level Security configuration.

Row-Level Security

Enforced via the user_mapping table. Every dataset filters to the user's assigned organizational scope before any query is served.

Calculated Fields

Coverage Rate, Utilization Rate, Cache Hit Rate, AI Cost, SP Savings Amount: computed in the dataset layer, not left to Amazon Quick defaults.

Athena validation: confirm AI attribution is working
SELECT line_item_iam_principal,
       COUNT(*) AS invocations,
       SUM(line_item_unblended_cost) AS total_cost
FROM cid_cur2
WHERE line_item_product_code = 'AmazonBedrock'
  AND line_item_iam_principal IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY line_item_iam_principal

When this returns IAM role ARNs against Bedrock rows, your AI workloads are being attributed correctly, before Agent Bill ever sees the data.
