Building Investigations: what it takes to build an AI SRE

At incident.io, we've spent the last two years building Investigations, our AI SRE. When you get paged, it starts investigating straight away, looking across your telemetry, recent deploys, past incidents, docs and code, and posts what it's found in your incident channel (or on your phone, if it's 2am and you're still deciding whether you need to get out of bed). By the time you open your laptop, you're starting at step six of triage rather than step one.

Top 10 RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) Tools for IT Teams in 2026

Managing a growing IT environment requires more than reacting to problems as they appear. IT teams and managed service providers (MSPs) need continuous visibility into endpoints, servers, networks and other infrastructure so they can identify potential issues, perform maintenance and resolve problems remotely. That is where remote monitoring and management (RMM) software comes in. RMM tools provide IT teams with a centralized way to monitor and manage distributed IT environments.

Your On-Call Rotation Has a Single Point of Failure, and It Gets the Flu Every Winter

Most teams design on-call for the failures they can see in a dashboard. A region goes down, a deploy goes sideways, a certificate expires at 2 a.m. The rotation exists so that someone is always there to catch it. Far fewer teams design for the failure that takes out the catcher: the on-call engineer wakes up with a fever, and the plan for that is usually a Slack message and hope. Treat a sick engineer the way you would treat any other dependency outage. It is predictable, it is seasonal, and it has a blast radius that grows with every shortcut in the rotation design.

MTTR Is Not a Time Problem. It Is a Context Problem

Your Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) has likely stayed flat for three or four quarters. The investment was real: scheduling tools, dispatch optimization, new training modules, and more technicians. Operations reviews still dissect response time, travel time, and wrench time. The metric still refuses to move. Most field service leaders measure MTTR from the start of the repair to the moment the asset returns to service.
