Datadog launched Bits AI SRE, an AI agent aware of telemetry, architecture, and organizational context that investigates alerts and surfaces actionable root cause in minutes, giving engineers the information they need to confidently resolve incidents faster, save engineering hours, and reduce end-user and business impact.
Bits AI SRE is part of Datadog’s Bits AI, a suite of AI capabilities that works autonomously across critical monitoring, development, and security workflows to help teams resolve application issues in real time.
Powered by the full breadth and depth of the Datadog platform’s data, Bits AI SRE provides an understanding of organizations’ systems to identify and resolve alerts fast. When an alert fires, Bits AI SRE rapidly analyzes runbooks, telemetry, and more, to separate signal from noise and uncover hypothetical root causes. It validates its own findings, identifies a final conclusion, and delivers that conclusion directly to third-party collaboration tools—all before on-call responders even log in.
What used to take hours to troubleshoot manually, can now be done in minutes autonomously by Bits AI SRE, representing a step toward a future where engineers can focus less on managing incidents and more on building resilient systems.
Designed for enterprise scale, Bits AI SRE supports HIPAA-regulated workloads, includes role-based access controls (RBAC), and features enterprise contracts with trusted AI partners—ensuring organizations adopt AI with confidence and control.
“This launch represents a pivotal expansion of Datadog’s AI strategy as our first generally available AI agent, and signals a new phase of intelligent, automated reliability,” said Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer at Datadog. “Bits AI SRE allows companies to mitigate issues faster, reduce customer impact, and adopt AI safely. It has already been tested against more than 2,000 customer environments, including both global enterprises and fast-growing start-ups with a diverse range of production environments. Tens of thousands of investigations have run to date, from routine alerts to high-severity incidents, with organizations already reporting positive outcomes. This reflects the tangible and immediate value, tied directly to operational and business outcomes, that we are delivering.”
Bits AI SRE is the first of three AI agents that is Generally Available to all Datadog users.
