What is Rootly?
Rootly's AI stops summarizing incidents and starts investigating them.
Rootly runs incident response — on-call, alerting, status pages, retrospectives — and its AI work has been arriving in a clear sequence rather than as one launch. In July the agent moved into the web app as a chat panel on every incident, retrospective templates gained AI blocks that draft from incident data, Slack, and call transcripts with prompts and sources visible, and the newest release lets the AI pull evidence from observability, code, infrastructure, feature flag, ticketing, and documentation tools. Alongside that, the operational surface kept filling in: Cortex catalog sync, Intune policy support on mobile, an on-call pay calculator, and a one-command setup that pages your phone to prove the configuration works.
What is Statsig?
Statsig is packaging its own workflows as skills for someone else's agent to run.
Statsig's experimentation and feature-flag platform opened a public agent-skills repository holding reusable workflows — create dashboard, create cloud metric — written as instructions an AI agent can execute. Its MCP server extended to Segments and Layers, covering user targeting and experiment configuration, and Metrics Explorer gained the ability to abort long-running queries. The crawled feed captures marketing pages as entries, so several rows carry navigation boilerplate rather than release notes.

Rootly's AI stops summarizing incidents and starts investigating them.
◆ Current state
Rootly runs incident response — on-call, alerting, status pages, retrospectives — and its AI work has been arriving in a clear sequence rather than as one launch. In July the agent moved into the web app as a chat panel on every incident, retrospective templates gained AI blocks that draft from incident data, Slack, and call transcripts with prompts and sources visible, and the newest release lets the AI pull evidence from observability, code, infrastructure, feature flag, ticketing, and documentation tools. Alongside that, the operational surface kept filling in: Cortex catalog sync, Intune policy support on mobile, an on-call pay calculator, and a one-command setup that pages your phone to prove the configuration works.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI features are being built with their working shown — every prompt and source visible in retrospectives, evidence gathering that is explicitly read-only with nothing stored. That is a deliberate answer to the reason engineers distrust AI during an incident: an unattributed claim at 3am is worse than no claim. The direction is toward an agent that reaches into the same systems a responder would check, while the surrounding releases reduce the setup and configuration cost that has historically made incident tooling a quarter-long adoption project.
◆ Prediction
Evidence gathering that is read-only today is the obvious foundation for suggested remediation tomorrow; expect the next step to be Rootly proposing actions from that evidence, with the same source-visible framing used to make it reviewable.
Statsig
0.0INFRA · APIS
Statsig is packaging its own workflows as skills for someone else's agent to run.
◆ Current state
Statsig's experimentation and feature-flag platform opened a public agent-skills repository holding reusable workflows — create dashboard, create cloud metric — written as instructions an AI agent can execute. Its MCP server extended to Segments and Layers, covering user targeting and experiment configuration, and Metrics Explorer gained the ability to abort long-running queries. The crawled feed captures marketing pages as entries, so several rows carry navigation boilerplate rather than release notes.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is agent-operated experimentation. MCP covering segments and layers means an agent can configure targeting, and the skills repository means the multi-step workflows around that configuration are distributable artifacts rather than documentation. Statsig is betting the console is not where experiments get set up much longer.
◆ Prediction
Expect the skills catalog to grow toward the analysis side — reading experiment results and proposing rollout decisions, not just creating objects. The query-abort work suggests warehouse cost control is a live concern as agent-driven usage increases.
