Ask Beacon in Natural Language

How it works

Beacon is built on a natural language understanding layer — you can ask it questions the same way you’d ask a colleague. It maps your request to the right report, analysis, or action.

Examples

Cost questions

@Beacon why did my bill go up this week?
@Beacon which team is spending the most on EC2?

@Beacon do we have any critical security findings?
@Beacon how much is our biggest security risk costing us?

When Beacon doesn’t understand

If Beacon isn’t sure what you’re asking, it will say so and ask for clarification. You can always rephrase or use a specific command from the Commands Reference.
