PagerDuty announced new AIOps and automation capabilities for the PagerDuty Operations Cloud, enabling customers to accelerate and optimize their critical operations in service of business transformation.
The PagerDuty Operations Cloud Fall 2023 release includes event orchestration, runbook automation and updates around its recently announced generative AI (GenAI) use cases, helping organizations cut operating costs, accelerate innovation, and mitigate risk of operational failures.
By using the PagerDuty Operations Cloud, enterprises are able to ensure up to 75% less downtime3. This can equate to millions of dollars saved or revenue preserved in a single year. To optimize digital experiences and reduce costly downtime, enterprise CEOs and CIOs are seeking integrated platforms like PagerDuty that go beyond patchwork solutions and leverage AI and automation across their entire product portfolio. To help customers remain competitive, retain and expand customers, and accelerate innovation in a resource-constrained environment, the PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers next-generation AI and automation to quickly resolve issues, minimize interruptions, reduce tool sprawl, and build more automation faster.
Do more with less at scale with event-driven automation to trigger intelligent remediation:
- Event Orchestration Variables empower organizations to build intelligent automation that helps inform other tools and processes for faster, more targeted incident response that can be standardized across the organization for better cross-team collaboration.
- Runbook Automation Add-On allows customers looking to automate actions triggered by AIOps, incident responders, or customer service representatives to benefit from capabilities of both Automation Actions and Runbook Automation on a single SKU. This provides a more powerful solution for gathering deeper information from a customer’s environment for triage and diagnosis and running remediation changes to resolve incidents. Leveraging the synergies of Runbook Automation Add-On and AIOps helps resolve incidents up to 95% faster4 by allowing the delegation of repetitive tasks to incident responders while also freeing up specialists’ time. With the Runbook Automation Add-On, customers can also reduce planned downtime by 85%5 and support costs by 55%6.
Increase team productivity and time for innovation with AI and AIOps:
- Global Alert Grouping reduces interruptions by grouping event data across all your services for teams to gain a better understanding of the incident scope when you need to coordinate with other teams to quickly resolve issues. Whether you need to curb noise on one or multiple services, PagerDuty allows you to customize how event data is grouped. On average, customers using PagerDuty AIOps are able to reduce the overall number of incidents by 87%7, minimizing unnecessary interruptions and keeping teams in flow.
- AI-Generated Incident Postmortems enable teams to save hours–and in some cases, days–of effort, removing toil and improving accuracy associated with post-incident analysis. PagerDuty automatically creates a draft postmortem using GenAI to empower teams to focus on refining their learnings and action items for improving their operational processes. With the click of a button, PagerDuty triangulates and collates incident data to help generate comprehensive summaries of what happened, when, how it was resolved, and key action items. This ensures that incident analysis is timely and relevant, and enables a continuous loop of learning. The feature is now in beta–interested customers should sign up for the waitlist.
- AI-Generated Status Updates remove manual work associated with stakeholder management during incident response to keep teams focused on resolution. Early customer feedback of AI-Generated Status Updates has shown that some companies designate as many as three responders to handle stakeholder communication. With AI-Generated Status Updates, drafting the message only takes one click, making it easier for the responder to review, edit and send updates to keep internal stakeholders and executives in the loop. This can potentially cut down the number of responders needed from three to one, saving costs and helping scale your workforce. The feature is now in beta–interested customers should sign up for the waitlist.
Improve operational resilience with a platform that fits with the way you work:
- Google Cloud Personalized Service Health Integration sends proactive, customized and detailed alerts about Google service disruptions to get ahead of customer impacting issues. The PagerDuty and Google Cloud partnership offers a vital platform for efficient cloud operations, aiding customers in responding to disruptions and ensuring smooth digital experiences.
- Slack/Chat as a Contact Method allows chat app users to elect to use chat apps as a contact method for incident response, adding to an already comprehensive integrated experience for customers using PagerDuty with Slack.

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 ...
