## Definition

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](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47825886). 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](https://infrawiseai.com).

## Example

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.

## Analogy

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

## Why it's emerging now

Infrawise posted its MVP to Show HN on April 19, 2026 — one of dozens of AI-agent FinOps tools arriving as Azure Copilot normalizes agentic cloud operations and frames cost optimization as a first-class AI workload.
