The riskiest place to put an AI agent is not always the code editor.

Sometimes it is the incident channel.

AWS has been talking about agentic AI for operational work, including autonomous incident response with AWS DevOps Agent and patterns for distributed agentic workloads. That is a natural next step. If agents can read logs, inspect metrics, understand recent deployments, suggest runbook steps, and draft remediation plans, of course vendors will point them at outages.

I understand the appeal.

Incidents are messy. The clock is loud. People are tired. Dashboards disagree. Half the context lives in old runbooks, old pull requests, and someone who is on a plane. A tool that can gather evidence quickly and propose the next move sounds genuinely useful.
