The Uniskai AI Assistant is an integrated intelligent helper inside the Uniskai platform. Its primary purpose is to assist users in navigating the platform, understanding cloud cost data, explaining FinOps recommendations, generating reports, and interacting with support functionality.
The Assistant works with natural language queries and adapts to your current context, helping you move through Uniskai efficiently and confidently.
Accessing the AI Assistant
Access the Assistant anytime from the main navigation:
Left navigation panel → Uniskai AI Assistant.
When a new chat opens, the Assistant shows two sets of starter suggestions - Hot topics, covering things like cost optimization and idle resources, and a Uniskai guide, covering things like adding accounts and configuring anomaly settings. Tap any of them to send it as your first question without typing.
The suggestions disappear once the conversation starts, and appear again when you open a new chat.
User Questions and Interaction
Users can ask the Assistant anything regarding cloud costs, platform behavior, FinOps recommendations, anomalies, account setup, or navigation.
The Assistant interprets your request, analyzes the relevant context, and provides a direct explanation.
Examples:
"Show me the AWS billing this month"
"Explain this FinOps recommendation"
"Why do I have anomalies today?"
"How do I add a new AWS account?"
Session Persistence
Closing the Assistant does not remove your conversation. When reopened, you return to the exact point where you left off, with the full message history preserved until you delete that conversation.
Within a conversation the Assistant keeps the context of what you have already asked, so you can follow up without repeating yourself - for example, ask about AWS billing for last month and then simply ask what about this month.
To start over with a clean context, open a new chat instead of continuing the current one.
Managing your conversations
The Assistant keeps your conversations as a list, so you can run several separate chats and come back to any of them.
The panel header has three controls:
Chat list - opens the list of your conversations. You can search it by name and open any entry.
New chat - starts a new conversation. The Assistant names it automatically from your first message.
"..." - opens a menu with Rename and Delete for the conversation. The same menu is available on each entry in the chat list.
After a deletion, the conversation is removed from the list and no longer appears there.
You only see your own conversations. Chats of other users in your organization are not shown.
Functional Capabilities of the Uniskai AI Assistant
The AI Assistant can respond to any typed user query, including both general cloud questions (cost optimization, anomalies, unused resources, Kubernetes, etc.) and questions specific to the Uniskai platform (how to add accounts, how to configure anomaly settings, how to use Waste, Cloudlist, etc.).
It analyzes the context of the question and returns the most relevant explanation or action. This applies to:
Cloud cost questions
Platform navigation help
Resource-specific inquiries
FinOps recommendation questions
Provider-specific cost questions (AWS / Azure / GCP)
Building charts and dashboards on the Cost Analysis page
Creating scheduled reports delivered by email or organization Slack
The Assistant is available on all plans except the Inform plan.
Billing requests
The Assistant can calculate and display billing details for AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI. It understands both simple and advanced queries involving regions, resources, grouping, accounts, tags and labels, time ranges, and multi-cloud comparisons.
You get the figures and the explanation directly in the chat - the Assistant does not send you to another page to see them. You can keep refining the same question, for example narrowing it down to one region or breaking it down by service.
Examples:
"Show me AWS billing this month"
"How much did my us-east-1 region cost last month?"
"What is my Azure VM spend over the last 14 days?"
"Break it down by service"
You can also ask for the answer as a file - the Assistant generates an Excel, CSV or PDF file in the chat, ready to download.
Cost Analysis: charts and dashboards
The Assistant builds visualizations on the Cost Analysis page from a plain-language description. Works for AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI accounts.
You don't need to open Cost Analysis first — ask from any page and the Assistant navigates there, then continues. It always describes the intended action and waits for your confirmation before creating or changing anything.
What the Assistant can do:
Open the Cost Analysis page for you, and open a specific dashboard by name
List the dashboards available to you
Create a dashboard with the name you choose
Create a chart from your description - choosing the chart type, the metric, the grouping, the time range and the filters
Create a dashboard and a chart, and attach one to the other, in a single request
Add a chart to an existing dashboard
Change an existing chart - its type, grouping, time range, filters or name. The chart is updated in place, so no duplicate is created
Add filters to a dashboard
Remove a chart from a dashboard
Rename a dashboard
Delete a dashboard
Examples:
"Create a pie chart for AWS billing data for the last 3 months"
"Create a bar chart for Account for February 2026 and add it to the test dashboard"
"Open the Monthly Overview dashboard"
"Change the date range to the last six months"
"Group this chart by region instead of by service"
"Rename dashboard Old Name to New Name"
"Show me my dashboards"
You can edit your own dashboards. Dashboards owned by other users are visible to you when they are published, but they cannot be changed. If your permissions on the selected account do not allow editing, or you ask for a chart on an account you do not have access to, the Assistant explains why instead of creating anything.
AI FinOps Summary
In the FinOps Report section, the Assistant provides the AI FinOps Summary - a written overview of your optimization picture for the current month, generated entirely by the Assistant.
Availability
The AI FinOps Summary is available for AWS and OCI accounts only. It is not available for Azure or GCP accounts.
The summary is generated for one account at a time. Select a single account in the account selector at the top of the page - the summary reflects that account only. Multi-account selection is not supported for this tab.
For OCI accounts, the AI FinOps Summary is the only available tab in the FinOps Report section. The full FinOps Report list, Summary and Archived tabs are not shown.
Generating the summary
The summary is not generated automatically. When no summary exists for the selected account, the tab shows an empty state with a Generate Report button.
To generate it:
Select a single account in the account selector at the top of the page.
Open the AI FinOps Summary tab.
Click Generate Report.
A report can be generated once every 90 days per account. Within that period the account is in cooldown - a new report cannot be generated, but the existing one can still be read and exported.
Checking the status:
While a report is being generated you can ask the Assistant how it is going - for example is the report for AWS ready?
The Assistant reports the current state: not generated yet, still generating, or ready. Once the report is ready it can walk you through it straight away in the chat.
If a request would start a second run for an account that is already generating, the Assistant tells you a run is in progress instead of starting another one.
When the summary is ready:
The Assistant produces a Cloud Cost Optimization Report for the current month, covering:
Current Spend Overview
Saving Opportunities
Top Recommendation
Cost Structure Weaknesses
Above the summary you also see Potential Monthly Savings, the number of Active Recommendations, and a Savings by Category breakdown for the selected account.
Save To Excel and Save To PDF at the top right become available once the summary has been generated. Before that they are disabled.
Working with the report in the chat:
Once a report exists, you can also work with it through the Assistant:
Ask for the summary of one account, or for the combined figures across several
Ask for the recommendation list, narrow it down by region, service, category, effort or risk, and drill into any single recommendation for the details behind it
Ask for the summary as an Excel file or a PDF, generated in the chat and ready to download
Examples:
"Can I get the FinOps report for AWS "
"Add a filter by region us-east-1 and category Rightsizing"
"Drill down into the idle Elastic IP recommendation"
"Generate an Excel file for this summary"
"How often can I generate a FinOps report"
Scheduled reports
The Assistant can deliver your cloud cost information on a regular basis, without you opening Uniskai. You describe the report in plain language and the Assistant creates the schedule.
There is no fixed list of report templates. Each report is generated from your own description, so you decide what it covers, how often it arrives and where it is delivered.
You can create scheduled reports even if your permissions on an account are view-only.
What a report can cover:
Cost and spend:
Cost per service, account, project, subscription or region
Cost per tag or label - for example by environment, team or project
Month-over-month or week-over-week trends
Top spenders - the most expensive services or resources
Optimization and savings:
FinOps summary with your top cost-saving recommendations and estimated monthly savings
Waste detection - idle or unused resources
Rightsizing opportunities - over-provisioned resources
Reserved Instance and Savings Plan coverage
Any combination of the above in a single report, or a report focused on a specific account, region, tag or time window.
Cadence and delivery
Setting | Available options |
Cadence | Daily, Weekly, Monthly |
Delivery time | Any time of day, in the timezone you specify |
Delivery channel | Email, Slack(organization), or both |
Email reports are delivered to the address linked to your Uniskai login. Slack reports are delivered to the organization Slack you connected in Uniskai.
Reports can only be delivered to your own account email. Delivery to a different or third-party address is not supported. If a colleague needs to receive a report, they log in with their own account and schedule it from there.
If a user is removed from the organization, their scheduled reports stop being delivered.
Create a report
Describe the report in a single message - the content, the cadence, the delivery time and the timezone. For example: create a report with my costs per service every Monday at 13:00 Kyiv time.
Review the summary the Assistant returns and confirm that the title, cadence, time, timezone, channel and content match what you asked for.
If your request does not include the timezone, the Assistant will ask for it before creating the schedule.
A same-day delivery must be at least 45 minutes after the moment you create the schedule. If you ask for a time closer than that, or a time that has already passed today, the report is scheduled for the next occurrence of that time instead.
Preview a report
Ask the Assistant to run the report immediately - for example trigger an immediate run.
If you have more than one report, tell the Assistant which one to run.
Check the delivery channel you configured. The report arrives within a few minutes. If it does not appear in your inbox, check your spam folder.
Immediate runs count towards your daily run limit of 6, which is shared with scheduled deliveries.
View, change and delete reports:
Ask the Assistant to list your scheduled reports. It returns a table with the title, cadence, delivery time, timezone, delivery channel and status of every report.
To change a report, tell the Assistant what you want changed - the delivery time, the cadence, or what the report covers. Everything you did not mention stays the same. You can change several reports at once - for example, ask for all of your reports to be moved to the same day and time.
To delete a report, tell the Assistant which one to remove. The Assistant confirms the deletion.
If you have several reports and your request does not identify one of them, the Assistant will ask which report you mean.
A change is applied by replacing the report, not by editing it in place - the Assistant deletes the existing schedule and creates a new one with your changes. The result is a report with the updated settings, but it starts as a new schedule, so it has no previous run history.
Run limits
Monthly cap. Your account has a limit of 31 report runs per rolling month. Each schedule consumes runs according to how often it fires - a daily report consumes roughly 31 runs per month, a weekly report roughly four to five. The runs of all your active schedules are added together, so a single daily report uses up almost the entire cap. If a new report would push the total over the limit, it is not created. To free capacity, delete a schedule or reduce how often it fires - capacity becomes available immediately.
Daily limit. No more than 6 report runs can be executed per day. This limit is shared between scheduled deliveries and immediate runs you request manually, so requesting several previews in one day can leave no capacity for that day's scheduled reports.
Support Integration Capabilities
AI Assistant is the first point of contact for chat support, replacing the support sidebar. Users can ask product, support, or cost-related questions, and the AI will respond accordingly.
Support Fallback
If the AI cannot fulfill the request, you may ask for help from a real support person, and the Assistant will show a fallback message:
"I'm sorry, I can't assist further – please reach our support team."
Clicking the Contact Support button opens a persistent Support Sidebar that remains visible across navigation and theme changes. It closes only when the browser tab is closed and does not reopen automatically in new sessions.
Items to confirm
Whether the 31 runs per rolling month cap is shared across all users in an organization or applies to each user separately. The same question applies to the daily limit of 6 runs.
The exact layout of the delivered email and organization Slack message - a sample of each is needed for a screenshot.
Whether the FinOps Report, Summary and Archived tabs are available for Azure and GCP accounts, or whether the AWS-only wording needs to be broadened.
Whether a report delivered to organization Slack is visible to the whole workspace or only to the user who created it - the wording of the Slack section depends on this.
What happens to a schedule when a change cannot be applied - editing a report replaces it rather than updating it in place, so it needs confirming whether the original schedule survives a failed change, and whether the run history carries over.
