AI is reimagining how engineering teams write code, investigate issues, and operate their systems. From conversational interfaces and agentic investigations to deep MCP integrations and AI-powered optimization, this year’s DASH releases make it easier to put AI to work across your entire workflow, grounded in the telemetry your team already trusts.
Now, you can query your environment in natural language with Bits Chat, launch autonomous investigations from a failing test, connect your favorite coding agents to live Datadog context, and measure the real impact of AI tools on your delivery. These features and others help teams get more done while keeping engineers in control of the decisions that matter. Read on for everything new in harnessing AI, and check out our other roundup posts for the latest in observability, scale, and security.
