“It wasn’t one big lightbulb; it was death by a thousand cuts,” Edward Aryee said when asked what led him and his co-founder, Raj Kadiyala, to launch SRE.ai.
The company is offering natural language AI agents that can perform complex enterprise DevOps workflows like continuous integration and testing.
“Instead of stitching together different low-code tools for enterprise applications like Salesforce, compared to products built on AWS, GCP, or Azure, teams can now move faster with context-driven, chat-like experiences that work across all of them,” Kadiyala, who is the company’s CEO, told TechCrunch.
The duo thought of the product while working at Google Research and DeepMind. Aryee, SRE.ai’s CTO, said they noticed the divide between the infrastructure tooling they had access to versus what others who didn’t work at Google had to use. Their engineer friends lamented about tedious tasks, like untangling metadata conflicts. “It gnawed at us,” Aryee said.
He and Kadiyala realized: “The next generation of DevOps experiences needed to be created.”
