Cleric: An Autonomous AI Site Reliability Engineer

Cleric is an autonomous AI SRE — an agent that investigates production alerts, traces them to root cause across the stack, and verifies the fix, so on-call engineers spend less time digging through dashboards at 3 a.m. When an alert fires, Cleric pulls signals from the observability and infrastructure tools a team already uses, maps the affected services, and reasons toward the underlying cause, then explains what it found.

It is designed to be safe to adopt: read-only by default and SOC 2 Type II, so it investigates without making unsanctioned changes.

Key Features

• Automatic alert investigation and root-cause analysis
• Service and dependency stack mapping
• Integration with Slack, Datadog, Grafana, and existing dashboards
• Read-only by default; SOC 2 Type II
• Learns from team resolutions to build institutional knowledge
• Fast time-to-root-cause on production incidents

Ideal Use Case

Cleric fits engineering and SRE teams drowning in alerts who want faster, more consistent root-cause analysis without handing an agent write access to production. It suits on-call rotations where investigation time is the bottleneck during incidents.

How Cleric differentiates

Cleric focuses on autonomous investigation and root cause — read-only and safe by default — rather than auto-remediation that teams are wary of granting. It was named a Gartner Cool Vendor for AI in SRE and observability and is backed by seed funding from Vertex Ventures US and Zetta Venture Partners.
