GreenPilot starts read-only, identifies where you're overspending and over-emitting, and surfaces ranked recommendations. Nothing executes without your explicit approval.
Most AWS environments waste 25–35% of spend on idle or over-provisioned resources. Most SMEs don't have the tools to find it. GreenPilot does.
Five steps. Read-only to start. You control everything that runs.

Most European SMEs running AWS don't have a FinOps team. Cloud bills grow. Emissions go unmeasured. Governance is manual. And the native tools tell you what's wrong without helping you fix it.
Idle instances, oversized compute, and forgotten storage volumes accumulate quietly. The cost shows up in your bill. Finding what's causing it takes time you don't have.
AWS Trusted Advisor and Cost Explorer flag the problems. Acting on them safely requires engineering time, context, and review cycles that most SME teams can't spare.
AWS doesn't expose per-workload energy consumption. Estimating your cloud carbon footprint means combining usage data with regional grid intensity factors — and most teams have no process for that.
Most recommendations stall between 'identified' and 'actioned'. Turning a flagged idle instance into a safe decommission involves approval, rollback planning, and documentation — without tooling to manage it.
Connect your AWS account with read-only access. GreenPilot pulls usage and billing data, runs waste detection, estimates emissions, and surfaces a ranked list of actions. You decide what gets actioned.
Detect idle, oversized, and underused AWS resources before they become recurring waste. Identify savings potential without touching production.
GreenPilot estimates cloud-related CO₂e from your AWS usage data and regional electricity grid intensity. You see which regions, services, and configurations drive your footprint — and where optimizations reduce it.
GreenPilot flags cloud configuration observations relevant to GDPR data residency, NIS2 risk posture, and CSRD emissions reporting. It doesn't replace your legal team — it gives them better data to work with.
Every optimization runs only after you sign off. Review each recommendation individually, approve or defer, and track what changed. Nothing touches production without explicit approval.
Read-only access to start. No complex setup. You decide what gets actioned and when.
Start with read-only, least-privilege AWS access. GreenPilot analyses usage, cost, and configuration data without making any production changes.
Set priorities: cost savings targets, emissions preferences, EU region requirements, budget limits, and governance policies.
GreenPilot surfaces prioritized optimization opportunities ranked by savings potential, emissions impact, risk level, and implementation effort.
During the paid optimization phase, approved actions execute through controlled workflows. You stay in control. Track savings, emissions, and governance status over time.
No production changes are made without explicit approval.
GreenPilot is running a controlled pilot for European SMEs on AWS. It starts with a free read-only assessment. You get a structured optimization report. Paid support begins only after you've agreed the scope.
Currently onboarding European SMEs running AWS workloads. If you want to cut cloud waste, get a view on your carbon footprint, and improve governance without hiring a FinOps team — fill in the form.

Read-only AWS access by default. You approve every change individually before it runs. Revoke access at any time by deleting the IAM role or rotating credentials.
GreenPilot connects to AWS with read-only access by default. No production resources are modified during the assessment phase.
AWS IAM access is scoped to the minimum permissions required. You configure and review permissions before granting access.
Every optimization action requires explicit customer approval before execution. No automated production changes occur without sign-off.
You can revoke GreenPilot's AWS access at any time by removing the IAM role or API credentials. No lock-in, ever.
A Data Processing Agreement is available before onboarding. Cloud account data is processed exclusively to deliver the service.
GreenPilot is built with EU-first data handling practices. Infrastructure and data-transfer decisions are made with EU compliance in mind.
Demo data — for illustration only.
Richard Schmitz is building GreenPilot AI from Lisbon. His background is in AI and machine learning. GreenPilot started from a direct problem: European SMEs running AWS don't have the tooling to manage cloud cost, carbon, and governance without an enterprise-scale team.
