For many teams, API uptime monitoring still means one simple thing: checking whether an endpoint responds with a 200 OK.

AI Is Bigger Than LLMs: Why Network Teams Need to Think Beyond Chatbots and Agents

Jan 23, 2026 By Phil Gervasi In Kentik
AI in network operations is more than chatbots and agents. LLMs make AI easier to use, but the real value comes from the underlying system of telemetry, data pipelines, analytics, ML models, domain knowledge, and workflows that help engineers reason, predict, and act.
