New Relic unveiled the New Relic Intelligent Observability Platform, transforming observability from ensuring uptime and reliability into a key driver of business growth and developer velocity for enterprises worldwide.
The platform is strengthened by the New Relic AI Engine to predict and prevent issues, and streamline business and IT operations with automation. With new innovations like the New Relic AI integration with GitHub Copilot, New Relic Pathpoint Plus, and New Relic Retail Solution, New Relic Intelligent Observability bridges the gap between observability best practices and tangible business outcomes.
“New Relic Intelligent Observability marks the third wave of observability—dynamic, agentic, and impactive,” said New Relic CEO Ashan Willy. “With macro trends of data explosion, AI, and a need for business and developer velocity, current observability platforms fall short. Observability must evolve to dynamically understand ever-changing environments, agentically automate operations, and show how system performance drives business impact. Intelligent Observability is the future of digital business and we’re taking the first step toward this future for our customers."
New Relic Intelligent Observability is strengthened by a sophisticated AI engine that predicts potential issues before they arise, assesses impacts, and makes intelligent recommendations to help prevent problems. The AI Engine combines two leading approaches: compound AI and agentic AI. The compound AI system uses multiple AI models, agents, and tools to tackle many types of complicated tasks. Meanwhile, agentic AI reduces the toil on developers by completing tasks and automating workflows, even with external tools. And through the natively integrated New Relic AI assistant experience, anyone—from seasoned developers to business analysts—can simply ask questions in plain language and get instant insights.
To help deliver software at scale with greater confidence, the new integration between New Relic AI and GitHub Copilot dynamically evaluates changes across the digital ecosystem. The two AI agents work together to detect issues from code changes and address them directly in the integrated development environment (IDE). This real-time response eliminates time-consuming manual processes and reduces the risk of code changes. As a result, organizations can boost developer productivity and improve software quality for the millions of organizations who rely on GitHub for software delivery.
New Relic Pathpoint Plus connects digital estate insights with business KPIs, making observability accessible to roles beyond technical teams—from customer support to business and financial leaders. New features include:
- No-code user journey modeling: For example, a media streaming company can build a custom user journey model without coding, which tracks user engagement from content discovery to playback, allowing personalized content recommendations and improved service quality.
- Playback mode: New playback for understanding historical performance and supporting root cause analysis.
- ML-enhanced business insights: New Relic alerting and anomaly detection provides an at-a-glance perspective on incidents and drill-down capability for rapid recovery.
New Relic Pathpoint Plus is also a key component for the New Relic Retail Solution that combines relevant platform capabilities such as Session Replay, Synthetics, Mobile Monitoring, User Journeys, and New Relic AI. The New Relic Retail Solution connects all retail touchpoints, whether on-site or online, to ensure retail leaders get a complete view of their hybrid business.
New Relic Intelligent Observability Platform, New Relic Pathpoint Plus and New Relic Retail Solution are available now.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...

The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
