SRE / DevOps agentindependentVerified 2026-07-22

AI SRE agent with an investigation knowledge graph, PlayBooks automation and an AlertOps Slack bot for incident triage and root cause.

Doctor Droid (DrDroid) is an AI SRE agent that investigates production alerts on your behalf. It connects to your observability stack, alert channels and infrastructure, then runs agentic debugging to find likely root causes and suggest next steps. Its core is PlayBooks, an open-source MIT-licensed runbook automation engine that fetches logs and metrics, queries databases, runs commands on remote servers and can execute remediation such as restarting or scaling Kubernetes pods and raising pull requests from exceptions, all through approval workflows. DrDroid integrates with 50 to 80 plus tools, is self-hostable via Docker or Helm, and is a Y Combinator W23 company founded in 2022 by Siddarth Jain and Dipesh Mittal.
