OpenRouter is great for keeping your LLM API bill down, Infracost is about the AWS/Azure/GCP bill your IaC creates. When an agent writes IaC that creates a NAT gateway or an RDS instance, that's $50-5000/mo in cloud spen

Interesting idea! The pull request authors are shown out of the box but we hadn't thought of using git to find the user for each resource on the main branch. Most organizations end-up tagging the resources with some sort of owner or te
