AWS Cost Explorer launches intelligent cost explanations powered by Amazon Q

AWS Cost Explorer now supports 'Analyze with Amazon Q', a new capability that delivers comprehensive cost explanations for any report you configure in Cost Explorer. With a single button click you now can receive detailed analysis from Amazon Q Developer covering your cost trends, top cost drivers, and anomalies. All analysis uses your exact filters and time-period and provides guidance to discover optimization opportunities through follow-up questions. Previously, cost analysis required manual investigation across multiple filters and data points. With 'Analyze with Amazon Q', you simply configure your Cost Explorer view and click a single button. Amazon Q analyzes your current context and delivers explanations directly in its chat panel, adapting to what you're viewing: historical explanations for past dates, forecast explanations for future dates, or both for mixed periods. You can then ask follow-up questions to explore any insights related to your cost data in greater detail as Amazon Q maintains full conversation context throughout. 'Analyze with Amazon Q' is available in all commercial AWS Regions at no additional charge. To get started, visit the [AWS Cost Explorer](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/home) console, or view the [user guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/latest/userguide/ce-what-is.html).
