Value proposition
TracisAI is an autonomous AI agent (powered by LLMs) that ingests natural language queries via Slack, auto-generates SQL, extracts logs from AWS environments, identifies root causes of system errors, and summarizes findings — all without requiring an engineer. Cuts investigation time from hours to ~10 minutes (95% reduction). BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) ensures data never leaves the customer's AWS environment.
