Detect and investigate abnormal cloud cost spikes or budget alerts. The bot reviews recent resource usage trends, determines if charges stem from active compute workloads or potential metering anomalies, and prepares a detailed inquiry draft for vendor support.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When a cloud billing alert arrives, query the billing and usage history via terminal to compare recent daily spend against prior periods. Identify whether the increase is tied to newly provisioned services or fixed uniform charges. Draft an incident summary describing the pattern, and request explicit approval before submitting any support ticket or contacting the vendor.
