Netbrain Introduces AI Path Doctor and More New Capabilities

NetBrain Technologies announced major new platform features that advance Agentic NetOps from an emerging category to operational reality. 

These new features further extend the platform with new agent tooling, cross-domain context, and open interfaces for the broader agentic enterprise.

"NetBrain is enabling our customers to achieve Agentic NetOps in production today," said Bernadette Nixon, CEO of NetBrain Technologies. "Our agents are not simply AI assistants, but act as operators that diagnose, decide, and act, governed by the verified network grounding our platform provides. We are delivering on both the innovative, purpose-built Agents and a platform to provide the trusted network context that allows our customers to pursue automation confidently."

NetBrain's network context model spanning Device, Topology, Path, and Intent across 150+ hardware vendors is the proprietary foundation that makes autonomous network operations possible. Available June 1, these new features extend the NetBrain platform:

  • AI Path Doctor: Validates network paths, flags inaccuracies, and generates runbooks to remediate. Reliable paths are the precondition for every diagnosis and automation the agents run.
  • Agent Skills: Institutional knowledge and best practices captured as Agent Skills tailoring NetBrain Agents to each customer's environment – without writing code or retraining models.
  • Cross-Domain Context: New integrations consume application and infrastructure context from ITSM, security, and APM platforms, including Dynatrace, into NetBrain's diagnosis workflow, resolving the "is it the network or the application" question and eliminating 40% or more of tickets.
  • Golden Assessment Library 26.06: Pre-built, industry-validated network assessments released on a regular basis to help stay abreast of industry shifts. This release includes updated coverage for capacity management, Cisco ACI intent integration with Deep Diagnosis, and Troubleshooting Skills for Deep Diagnosis.
  • LLM Flexibility and MCP Support: Native support for Claude, Gemini, GPT, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint including self-hosted models. Through MCP, NetBrain's network intelligence is now available to the broader agentic enterprise, extending NetBrain's grounded truth to whatever AI platforms our customers operate alongside it.

"The agentic conversation has been dominated by model choice and agent design and on ticket and log analysis use cases. The key to unlock adoption is grounded network truth that informs diagnosis and a remediation plan – for a real fix to real customer problems," said Song Pang, CTO of NetBrain Technologies. "Agent Skills tailor our agents to each customer's environment. AI Path Doctor guarantees path accuracy. MCP ties in the rest of the AI ecosystem. Together, they enable immediate business value and close the loop from diagnosis to remediation, at machine speed, with human confidence."

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...

For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...

Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...

Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...

For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...

Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent.
