Datadog launches AI agents to speed up incident resolution

NEW YORK - Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ:DDOG), a $41.3 billion cloud monitoring company with impressive 80% gross profit margins, introduced three new artificial intelligence agents designed to accelerate incident resolution for development, security and operations teams, according to a press release statement issued Tuesday. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock is currently trading above its Fair Value, reflecting strong market confidence in its AI initiatives.

The cloud monitoring company unveiled Bits AI SRE, Bits AI Dev Agent, and Bits AI Security Analyst at its DASH conference. These domain-specific agents perform interactive investigations and code fixes without human prompting.

Bits AI SRE, now in Limited Availability, performs early triage on alerts using telemetry and service context before human responders engage. The Dev Agent, in Preview, detects issues and generates code fixes, while the Security Analyst autonomously investigates potential threats.

"Datadog is uniquely positioned to deliver value with AI as a platform that has a wealth of clean, rich data," said Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer at Datadog. "We process trillions of data points and are embedded in our customers’ critical engineering, developer and security workflows."

The company also introduced two additional capabilities in preview: Proactive App Recommendations, which suggests high-impact fixes by analyzing telemetry data, and APM Investigator, which helps engineers troubleshoot latency spikes faster.

Darren Trzynka, Senior Cloud Architect at Thomson Reuters, noted that "Bits AI allows operations and downstream platform teams to receive the full context of the investigation—from the initial monitor trigger to conclusion—driving down resolution time significantly."

The new AI capabilities are built on a system of shared tasks that can be reused across agents, allowing Datadog to deploy new agents quickly while maintaining consistent user experience.

In other recent news, Datadog, Inc. announced several new developments at its annual DASH conference. The company introduced new security tools designed to protect AI environments, including Code Security and LLM Observability, which help detect vulnerabilities and monitor AI model integrity. Additionally, Datadog launched an Internal Developer Portal to integrate with its application performance monitoring suite, offering developers real-time system visibility and self-service capabilities. New log management features were also unveiled to aid organizations in meeting compliance needs, such as Archive Search and Flex Frozen, which enhance data retention and search capabilities. Shareholders recently approved amendments to Datadog’s Certificate of Incorporation, aligning with Delaware law to limit monetary liability for certain officers. The election of new board members and the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent accounting firm were also confirmed. Furthermore, Datadog AI Research introduced the Toto AI model and BOOM benchmark, both open-source projects aimed at advancing observability metrics and anomaly detection. These initiatives reflect Datadog’s ongoing efforts to enhance cloud observability and security through innovative AI solutions.
