Agentic Incident Response

Incidents caught and handled before the page

Catches problems early and fixes known ones with approved playbooks.

What changes

Stop mean-time-to-respond reporting. Start seeing it live.

Raises incidents from the first leading signal in telemetry, often before users are affected or anyone is paged, and handles them with approved playbooks. AI agents gather context, correlate signals and propose the fix; approved runbooks take the first action; engineers step in with the evidence already assembled. Toil that playbooks now handle is counted and returned to the team every sprint.

How it works

DevSemantic is a context plane for site reliability and operations. It connects telemetry, services, dependencies, releases and runbooks into one model, so problems are predicted from leading signals, handled by approved automation, and prevented from returning. The four solutions follow the life of a production problem: see it clearly, catch it before it pages, stop it coming back, and stop releases from introducing it.

We model how production really runs

Services, dependencies, releases, telemetry and runbooks in one live model.

What we are measured on

One headline number. Three that back it up.

Proof you can open

Every number comes from a record you own.

Here that record is the incident history. If we cannot show where a number came from, we do not report it.

Questions

What people ask before they start.

Does this replace our incident management and paging tools?

No. They stay. Agents read their alerts and tickets and work inside the same records.

Can an agent deploy its own fix?

No. A deploy always ends at a person.

How does it learn our systems?

From your telemetry, deploy history, runbooks and dependencies, kept current by named engineers through the Semantic Loop.

Every solution is sold against one headline KPI, committed for 90 days against your own baseline and reported from evidence you can inspect.
