Rootly Launches AI Labs to Advance Reliability Engineering Through Community Innovation

Launch event at GitHub HQ features leaders from Google, Anthropic, and Andreessen Horowitz

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rootly, the leading AI-native incident response platform, today announced the launch of Rootly AI Labs, a fellow-led community dedicated to redefining the future of reliability engineering. Rootly AI Labs aims to accelerate operational excellence by developing innovative prototypes, creating open-source tools, and producing groundbreaking research.

The official launch will occur at GitHub HQ in San Francisco. The event will feature keynote presentations and discussions with industry leaders from Google, Anthropic, Andreessen Horowitz, Browserbase, Sentry, and Postman, highlighting the transformative potential of MCP (Model Communication Protocol) servers and Agent2Agent (A2A) protocols – from enabling every developer to operate like a "10x engineer," to empowering SRE teams to achieve the elusive "six nines" of reliability.

"The Rootly AI Labs represents our commitment to shaping the next era of reliability engineering," said JJ Tang, CEO of Rootly. "By bringing together top industry experts and a community-driven approach, we're positioned to create transformative tools and frameworks that redefine what's possible for engineering teams worldwide."

Rootly AI Labs invites reliability engineers and researchers to collaborate and experiment. The lab’s outputs – including open-source projects, prototypes, and research papers – will be freely available to accelerate industry-wide advancements in operational practices.

Sylvain Kalache, Head of Rootly AI Labs, added, "AI is evolving so quickly that reliability practitioners often struggle to keep pace. Rootly AI Labs serves as a learning resource where we explore cutting-edge technologies and concepts specifically aimed at improving reliability through the power of AI. We share our learnings and the tools we create, ensuring they're freely accessible for the community."
