Agent startups hire differently. ML fundamentals and domain intuition matter more than years of software engineering.
Cleric created an AI site reliability engineer (SRE) agent that continuously learns from incidents, allowing software engineers to focus on building.
The company builds software that reasons about production.
Cleric follows changes into production, detects regressions, investigates the cause, and proposes a fix. Plans start at $100 per month.
AWS DevOps Agent investigates incidents and generates specs for coding agents, while Cleric verifies outcomes and learns over time.
Azure SRE Agent manages Azure resources natively, while Cleric investigates across the full stack with verified outcomes regardless of cloud.
The page compares Cleric with AI agents built into existing tools and discusses their limitations for engineers.
Bits AI SRE investigates inside Datadog. Cleric investigates all of production across alerts, systems, and teams.
Cleric maps a technology stack, traces alerts to root cause, and feeds verified outcomes into subsequent investigations.
Cleric follows every change after merge, verifies its effect under real production traffic, investigates failures, hands off fixes, and reverifies recovery.
Cleric proactively fixes issues in every code change and stays on-call for every alert.
