We’ve just dropped a round of powerful updates to make your FinOps workflow smoother, faster, and way more intuitive. From next-gen AI conversations to hourly cloud insights, here’s what’s new:

Ask YäRKEN Just Got Smarter

We’ve given Ask YäRKEN a major brain upgrade by powering it with a new agentic AI workflow. What does that mean for you? It means our AI now acts more like a thinking partner, not just a search box. It can handle messy or unclear questions better, break down complex queries, and adapt on the fly based on what you’re actually trying to find out.

And with its new integration with vector stores, Ask YäRKEN is now more context-aware than ever. If your question is ambiguous (like “What’s the total spend on SAP?”), the AI will gently nudge you with clarifying options:

“Do you mean 'solution offering SAP,' 'application SAP,' or 'vendor SAP'?”

That way, you always get the right answer…not just any answer.

Hourly Cloud Consumption Insights

You asked, we delivered. YäRKEN now supports hour-by-hour cloud analysis. With the new Hour of Day field in our Cloud Analytics cube, you can dig deep into:

• When exactly your cloud spend spikes
• Which hours see the most usage
• Where you can optimize based on usage patterns

Perfect for spotting trends, cutting costs, and staying proactive.

GCP Billing Integration with FOCUS 1.0

Google Cloud user? You’re covered. We now fully support GCP billing files aligned with FOCUS 1.0 standards, so you can analyze cost and usage data directly in YäRKEN without hassle.

You can either:

• Upload your GCP files manually, or
• Automate everything using YäRKEN Pipelines, fetching files straight from your bucket storage at regular intervals.

Now with support for AWS, Azure, and GCP in FOCUS format, you can track all your cloud costs in one clean, unified platform.
