Capabilities
As an expert on the DoiT console, Ava helps you gain new insights into your cloud spend, discover more about the cloud, and optimize data across both your cloud environment and the DoiT console.
The following sections describe some ways you can use Ava.
Contextual Assistance
Ava has contextual awareness of DoiT features. For these features, you can ask Ava to explain more about DoiT Cloud Intelligence concepts, services, or offerings.
Commitment Manager
For DoiT Commitment Manager Ava is able to understand how you are tracking your spend-based commitment discounts with AWS and Google Cloud. You can ask Ava to help you understand your progress against a committed goal and highlight potential capacity planning.
Ava cannot create, edit or, manage commitments. You must use the DoiT Commitment Manager for these actions.
Examples
What percentage of my compute spend is currently covered by commitments?
Show me a timeline of all commitment expirations for the upcoming year.
What is the total effective savings I've gained from commitments year-to-date?
Get insights into your costs
By having a conversation, Ava can help you gain quick insights on your cloud spend, and dig deeper if you need to.
Example
What's been my total multicloud cost in the last 3 months?
Perform tasks
You can use Ava to perform many tasks. The folllowing sections describe some of the tasks Ava can perform.
Alerts
For DoiT alerts Ava is able to understand and reference the user-defined events or conditions used to flag issues in your cloud environment. You can ask Ava to list, analyze, and generate alerts based on your conversation, providing a seamless workflow between analysis and action.
Examples
List my alerts
Create an alert in BigQuery if it goes above $1200
Allocations
For DoiT allocations Ava is able to understand how costs are attributed to relevant business units, applications, or projects. You can ask Ava to help you with all aspects of your allocation strategy, including creating, editing, sharing, and managing your allocations based on your conversation, providing a seamless workflow between analysis and action.
Examples
How much of my spend is unallocated this month, and what are the biggest drivers of it?
Create a rule that allocates anything with label/tag 'app=*' into app buckets; keep the rest in Shared.
Why is project/account x not landing in the Production bucket even though it has the right tags?
Budgets
For DoiT budgets Ava is able to understand how you are tracking your actual cloud spend against your planned spend. You can ask Ava to help you with all aspects of your budgeting, including creating, editing, sharing, and managing your budgets based on your conversation, providing a seamless workflow between analysis and action.
Examples
How much of my Q1 budget have I already consumed?
Why is my BigQuery usage 20% higher than the amount I budgeted for?
Which projects are predicted to exceed their budgets in the next 30 days?
Dashboards
Ava is able to understand your Dashboards. Ava takes you step-by-step through the process, prompting you for input as the AI creates the dashboard and adds each widget.
Once dashboards are created, Ava has awareness of those dashboards so you can quickly and easily add more widgets.
Furthermore, Ava recognizes the connection between reports and dashboards. You can ask Ava to generate a report and then add those findings as a widget to a dashboard, providing a seamless workflow between analysis and action.
Examples
Create a dashboard showing GCP storage costs over the last 7 days.
Add a widget to this dashboard showing costs grouped by GCP project.
Create a report showing GCP storage costs over the last 7 days.
If this is a dashboard you have just created, Ava automatically recognizes this and defaults to this dashboard.
Invite new users
Using Ava, you can invite new users who need access to DoiT Cloud Intelligence. You must provide the email addresses of the users you wish to invite. Optionally, specify a role for the new users. The recipients you invite receive an email that contains a link that they should use to complete sign up for a DoiT Cloud Intelligence account.
Your DoiT account must have the User Manager permission.
Example
Invite user [email protected] with admin role.
Labels
Ava can define custom labels for DoiT Cloud Intelligence features such as alerts, allocations, budgets, metrics, and reports.
Example
Create a label called Anomalies with a rose-pink color.
Reports
You can ask Ava to generate a report, for which you can change its display mode with the View as dropdown.
Ava also gives an explanation of the report with a summary of the most relevant findings.
You can also open the full report by selecting Open the report in Cloud Analytics where you can run the report, edit the metrics used, and save it to use in the future.
Additionally, you can ask Ava to create report annotations for saved reports. For example, you could ask Ava to Create an annotation for 23/1/2026 entitled Secondary time range for the report.
