AI companies face unpredictable infrastructure costs as data center demand surges while capital becomes more expensive. Many lack visibility into spending patterns and optimization opportunities.

A SaaS tool could analyze compute usage, forecast costs under different scenarios, and recommend savings through scheduling or alternative providers. AI startups would pay to avoid budget overruns.

Start with basic cost tracking and alerts, then add optimization features. The biggest risk is competing with cloud providers' native tools.
