# StitcherAI

> StitcherAI is the IT Finance system of intelligence for the agentic era. The platform unifies cloud, SaaS, AI, and internal IT cost data on the FOCUS standard and embeds business-aligned financial context directly into the human and agentic workflows where technology spending decisions happen.

Built by Udam Dewaraja, co-founder of the FOCUS specification at the FinOps Foundation and former Director and Head of Global FinOps at Citi.
