INCIDENT RESPONDER AUTOPILOT
IN DEVELOPMENTMake sense of the signal.
Keep the final say.
AI-first incident investigation and proposed remediation, with explicit human approval before an action executes.
Talk about RespondTHE PROBLEM
What gets
in the way?
An alert is rarely the whole story. Responders need service context, recent changes, relevant signals, and a shared understanding of what to try next.
Use AI to connect the evidence, investigate likely causes, and assemble a remediation proposal. Give the responder a plan they can inspect before authorizing a change.
Context gathering
Bring relevant telemetry, service dependencies, and recent deployment information into an investigation.
Evidence-led investigation
Present possible explanations with supporting context and acknowledge uncertainty when evidence is incomplete.
Reviewable remediation
Prepare a proposed action with target scope, prerequisites, expected effect, and a verification path.
Human-approved action
Require approval for remediation. Make it clear who authorized what and which plan was executed.
PEOPLE IN CONTROL
Useful autonomy.
Clear boundaries.
Approval must apply to a specific plan and scope. A material change should return to review. The product is in development; these are intended controls, not a claim of certified security.
How we think about AIA conversation worth having if you’re…
- SRE and platform teams carrying incident response
- CTOs building a repeatable operational workflow
- Teams that want AI assistance while retaining write-action control
THE DETAILS
Before the
conversation.
Will the autopilot change production without asking?
The intended remediation workflow requires explicit human approval before execution. Investigation and a proposed plan do not authorize an infrastructure change.
Which monitoring systems will it connect to?
Popular observability, incident management, and cloud systems are part of the planned ecosystem. Bring your stack to the conversation so we can discuss priorities.
What happens if the proposed plan changes?
Our design principle is to invalidate approval when the approved scope materially changes and return the revised plan to a person for review.
