"Espresso Al literally cut our bill in half. Setup was easy and straightforward, and there's zero maintenance. This is a no-brainer if you're stressed about your costs."
Camelia Hssaine Director of Data Science & Analytics
"It's been a pleasure working with Espresso AI! Thanks to their efficient AI solution, we were able to cut our costs by 50%. Their platform is straightforward to set up and requires zero maintenance. If you're looking to rein in your data warehousing expenses, I highly recommend giving Espresso AI a try"
"Espresso has been super easy to integrate and got us immediate, measurable cost savings on our Snowflake spend. It is definitely one of the highest ROI cost saving initiatives we’ve had."

Why Teams Choose Autonomous Optimization
Continuous Optimization, Zero Human Effort
While Slingshot generated weekly recommendations you review and apply, our three AI agents are already optimizing. 24/7, automatically, with no clicks required.
Predictive Autoscaling
Our autoscaling agent learns your traffic patterns and scales warehouses before demand hits. Slingshot schedules based on time of day; we predict actual workload needs in real-time and adjust instantly.
Real-Time Packing Agent Slingshot resizes warehouses. We route every query to the optimal warehouse in milliseconds—just like Kubernetes schedules containers. This eliminates idle compute and delivers 20-30% additional savings.
Automatic query-level optimization
Our query agent optimizes your SQL on the wire automatically. Slingshot's Query Advisor shows you expensive queries; we rewrite them with formal verification before they hit your warehouse.
Real-Time Intelligence vs Weekly Recommendations
Thousands of Optimizations Per Day, Not Per Week
Your Snowflake environment doesn't wait a week to spend money. Why should your optimization? Slingshot analyzes weekly and generates recommendations you apply. Espresso AI optimizes continuously—every second, automatically.
Slingshot's Weekly Cycle
Analyzes your environment once per week, generates recommendations, and waits for you to review and click to apply changes. Conservative approach designed for enterprise governance and control.
Espresso AI's Continuous Optimizations
Makes optimization decisions every second: routes queries to underutilized warehouses, scales resources only when necessary, and learns from every decision to improve future routing.
Slingshot gives you control. Espresso AI gives you results.
Pay for Savings, Not Dashboards
Guaranteed ROI, Zero Risk
We're confident enough in our technology to tie our revenue directly to your results. You only pay a percentage of actual, verified savings. Our proprietary simulation environment proves every dollar saved before we charge anything.
What This Means:
$0 upfront investment
$0 if you don't save
Savings verified before payment
Our incentives = your incentives
Slingshot charges fixed fees regardless of results. Espresso AI only earns when you save.
Fully autonomous agents. Our agents run continuously to optimize your data warehouse in real time, identifying inefficiencies, rewriting queries, and reducing compute costs without human intervention or oversight.
Espresso does what humans (and slingshot) can't. Humans, dashboards, and even traditional autoscalers simply can’t respond fast enough to the constantly changing workloads inside Snowflake.Espresso's AI-powered workload scheduler dynamically routes queries to the best available compute resources in real time - just like Kubernetes

Dashboards and advice. Slingshot shows you what’s wrong - and then expects you to fix it. You still need engineers to interpret the data and implement changes manually.
Slingshot’s autoscaler relies on static thresholds and human-defined rules - a reactive system that can’t learn, predict, or optimize holistically. It can turn a warehouse on or off; Espresso can rewrite the entire execution plan.
