# Introduction

> Multi-cloud cost intelligence — see your spend and ask Koala AI

## What is Koala AI FinOps?

Koala AI FinOps is a **multi-cloud cost intelligence platform**. It brings your **OCI, AWS, Azure, and GCP** spend into one place, turns it into live dashboards and explainable insights, and lets anyone ask about their cloud costs in plain language — *"See spend. Ask Koala AI."*

It ingests your clouds' standard **FOCUS** cost and usage exports, normalizes them into one model, and gives you a single source of truth for visibility, optimization, and allocation — no CSV merges, no spreadsheet reconciliation.

## Why Koala AI FinOps?

### One view, every cloud

Real-time dashboards by service, region, and provider — OCI, AWS, Azure, and GCP together, not four separate consoles.

### Every number is evidence-backed

All figures come from SQL over your own data. **The AI explains; it never invents numbers.** Every insight carries its evidence — the query, the aggregates, and sample rows.

### Tenant-first by design

Each business unit sees only its own data, with central oversight. Role-based access, tenant isolation, and SSO make it audit-ready.

## How it works, in one line
