AI SRE: what is it, how could it change on-call – and does it work? · 2026-10-27
This October 27 report draws on direct conversations with Rootly, incident.io and ResolveAI, distinguishing investigation assistance from autonomous production changes. It describes parallel hypothesis investigation, a context layer, engineer guidance in chat, adversarial checks and incident replay. Accuracy depends on company-specific evidence and evaluation; routing and caching trade cost against latency. The author discloses an investment in incident.io. The interviews are operational accounts, not a controlled cross-vendor benchmark.
