Olly says Hi: Scheduled tasks now report to Slack and email

An agent that only speaks when spoken to is a tool you have to remember to use. Olly has run on a schedule for a while now, working a saved prompt hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly and writing its findings into a chat with its own run history. Those scheduled tasks are now wired into the Coralogix Notification Center, so Olly delivers that output itself, allowing Olly to reach out to Slack or email, out of the box.

Centralize human and agentic work with Datadog Work Management

Teams often track operational work across spreadsheets, Slack threads, Jira tickets, and whatever system generated the original alert or signal. This fragmentation makes it difficult to maintain a consistent record of what needs attention, who or what is addressing the issue, and what has already happened. As AI agents take on more responsibility for investigations, triage, and code changes, the number of handoffs grows, making ownership, status, and history even harder to preserve.

Why You Shouldn't Vibe Code Your Monitoring Tool

Vibe coding made building software feel almost too accessible. You describe what you want, an AI assistant scaffolds it, and a few hours later, something is running. So, it was only a matter of time before developers started asking the obvious question: why should I pay for a monitoring tool when I can just build my own? In all fairness, the DIY instinct is a healthy one. But monitoring is one of the last corners you’d want to cut.

What AI compresses, and What it Amplifies

Adam Berman, VP of Engineering at Semgrep, on the double edge of AI tools for engineering leaders: they compress the distance between an idea and a working prototype, letting him get from exploration to a demoable POC in the gaps between meetings. But that same leverage amplifies risk. One person can spin up 1,000 unowned problems just as fast as they can spin up 1,000 wins. From a Braintrust by Cortex conversation on how AI is changing the job of engineering leadership.

Making Machine Data Easier to Onboard, Prepare and Trust with AI-Powered Data Management

Every investigation, detection, dashboard, and AI-assisted workflow depends on one thing: data that teams can trust. But as environments grow more distributed, the data behind those experiences gets harder to manage. New applications, cloud services, security tools, infrastructure, and network devices constantly generate machine data, and each new source can introduce new formats, missing fields, inconsistent mappings, and pipeline changes that require expert attention.

Workspace now reads your tickets and automates the fix

IT teams don’t need another place to look for problems. They need a faster way to understand what is happening, decide what to do next, and act before disruption spreads. That has always been the promise of Workspace. It gives IT teams a conversational way to investigate issues, surface insights from Nexthink data, and understand what needs attention across the digital workplace. Now, Workspace is entering its next phase.

Your Framework Doesn't Have to Be on Our List: How MCP Server Deployment Changes Everything

To deploy an application we haven't seen before, we need two things out of its repository. One is a Dockerfile that builds it. The other is a service definition saying what runs, which ports it listens on, which databases it needs, and what environment variables it expects. Customers arrive with a git URL, and we figure out the rest. We even do the tricky task of generating a Dockerfile if it doesn't already exist in the codebase. We've built a solution for this twice already.

Debug AI agents wherever they run, from Slack bots to code review with Sentry's Agent Tracing

Agent Tracing shows the full execution path of an AI agent: the model call, every tool invocation and its arguments, token counts, cost, and the span where it broke. Same traces and spans you already use, with agent-specific attributes on top. Serge walks through three apps — a Next.js e-commerce agent using the AI SDK with a failing tool call, a Slack bot built with Eve that orders lunch, and a code review agent built with Flue over MCP.

Run an AI SRE Agent Entirely Inside AWS with Bedrock and S3: AURA

An on-call question returns the threshold and the escalation owner from your own runbooks, and the answer comes back without a call to anyone outside. AURA runs against Bedrock as its model provider, using Claude Sonnet 5 served by AWS in the same region. Authentication is the normal AWS credential chain: a profile on a laptop, an IAM role in EKS.
