Value proposition

Autonomous AI agents that investigate production incidents across the full stack and deliver root cause analysis in ~22 minutes (down from ~3.5 hours), reducing downtime by 70% and alert noise by 90%.

Products and solutions

AI-powered SRE platform with 16+ specialized AI agents (Database, Kubernetes, Incident Commander, Code Analysis, Infrastructure, Log Analyst, Network, Security, Cost, CI/CD, IAM, Compliance

Unique value

16+ specialized AI agents that work like expert SRE investigators — each trained for a specific domain (K8s, DB, network, CI/CD, etc.) — collaborating autonomously to diagnose incidents without human kickoff.

Target customer

Mid-market and enterprise technology companies operating cloud-native or hybrid infrastructure

Industries served

Technology / SaaS / E-commerce / EdTech / B2B Marketplaces

Technology advantage

Agentic AI architecture with 16+ specialized agents; in-VPC deployment (Watson) with read-only access and PII redaction; SOC 2 Type 2 certified; air-gapped deployment option; integrates with 30+ enterprise tools; 4.9/5 G2 rating with 28 reviews.

How they differentiate

Unlike traditional observability tools that surface dashboards and alerts, Sherlocks deploys a multi-agent system where each agent specializes in a domain (Kubernetes, databases, networks, CI/CD, etc.) and collaborates to form/test hypotheses like a senior engineer. Watson runs inside the customer's VPC with read-only access, PII redacted at source. SOC 2 Type 2 certified with optional air-gapped/in-VPC LLM deployment for regulated industries.
