Datadog launches more than 100 features at DASH to push autonomous AI ops
Observability and security platform company Datadog Inc. today unveiled more than 100 new capabilities at its annual DASH 2026 conference, headlined by a major expansion of its Bits AI agents that the company says can now run operations autonomously across the software development lifecycle.
The releases center on two pressures Datadog argues are reshaping enterprise technology: code being generated faster than humans can manage it and attackers using artificial intelligence to go after critical systems. The company is pitching deeper automation and broader visibility as the answer to both.
Bits AI, Datadog’s suite of agents for development, security and operational work, is the centerpiece. Previously focused on investigating the root cause of issues, it gains modules including Bits Detection, Agent Evals, Infrastructure, Code, Release, Data Analysis, Testing and Chat.
Together they let the agents detect, investigate and remediate problems by scanning infrastructure around the clock, recommending fixes and resolving them under predefined guardrails. The new Agent Eval feature also lets Bits AI debug and generate fixes for AI agents. Bits AI runs inside tools teams already use, including Slack and Anthropic PBC’s Claude.
