In the fast-paced tech world, DevOps evolved from machine-to-machine automation to modern day human-to-machine delegation. Now, with Generative AI, unlocking the potential for new modes of interaction, delegation has taken a forefront, keeping humans in the loop while driving innovation.
“What Kubiya has done is allow us to really do end-to-end automation by writing code in just simple English language. It has helped us to automate a part of our escalation management system which was not possible before,” said Neeraj Mendiratta, VP of platform engineering at A+E Networks. “Kubiya has really helped us to drive a lot of efficiency and reduce the time for us to fix failures. We can’t wait to see how we can expand this in other areas.”
“If fully automating a process were as simple as asking a colleague to take on a task, delegating with trust that it would be completed in a predictable, controllable, and auditable manner, then almost anything could be automated,” weighed in Kubiya co-founder and CEO Amit Eyal Govirin. “What we have done at Kubiya is change the form factor of automation into delegation.”
“Delegation is the new automation,” said Jesse Robbins, general partner at Heavybit and DevOps pioneer. “Kubiya’s groundbreaking AI Teammates gives people on overloaded infrastructure and platform teams new superpowers by delegating boring repetitive tasks and nuisances so they can focus on what matters. Amit and Shaked are years ahead of anything else I’ve seen and are already rolling out to enterprise customers in production. We are truly excited to back the team and to help shape the next decade of innovation in infrastructure.”
