AI DevOps copilot for AWS cloud infrastructure management and incident response.

Kura is an AI DevOps copilot that helps software teams manage and optimize cloud infrastructure. It is a chatbot and workspace that integrates directly with a live index of your cloud from AWS, GCP and Azure, answering questions with links and live information, generating code, provisioning and scaling resources, and responding to incidents through natural language while keeping teams in full control. Kura runs pre-packaged and user-defined runbooks, including scheduled checks that proactively surface issues such as over or under-utilized resources. It was founded in 2024 in San Francisco by Trevor Reed and Mark Dawson, engineers from Google and NASA, is Y Combinator-backed, and is onboarding pilot customers.
