Datadog
Application
Detects AI-assisted pull requests from coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor and GitHub Copilot and compares them on adoption, PR throughput, cycle time, change failure rate and daily cost per active user.
Conversational AI interface for querying Datadog metrics, logs, traces and monitors in natural language and generating dashboards and notebooks, accessible from Datadog, Slack or mobile.
Datadog's Infrastructure-family product for shared GPU fleets across cloud, on-prem and neocloud providers: it links device health, cost and performance to the workloads and teams using them, alerts on unmet GPU requests, thermal throttling and ECC/XID errors, forecasts GPU demand and recommends optimisations such as reclaiming GPUs held by zombie processes. The page markets alerting, forecasting and recommendations but does not name a model or AI mechanism behind them.
Datadog's built-in AI engine: it continuously analyses metrics, traces and logs across the platform to raise anomaly alerts without configuration, detect faulty deployments by comparing code versions, run automated root-cause analysis on critical failures and surface tag-based insights and impact analysis. Available inside Infrastructure Monitoring, APM, Log Management and RUM rather than sold on its own.
Glean (Glean Technologies)
Application
Governs model traffic, tool calls and enterprise AI context flowing through third-party AI applications.
Enterprise-context AI coworker that answers questions, summarizes documents and takes action grounded in a company's own connected data.
Builds enterprise context for AI from a company's applications, people and relationships (the knowledge/enterprise graph underlying Glean's other products).
Model-routing and cost-optimization layer for the Glean platform: routes each task to the best of 40+ LLMs by cost/performance, runs continual memory learning across surfaces, and orchestrates an agent harness for long-running work.
Governs AI wherever work happens: sensitive-data and AI-interaction protection, agent-permission enforcement, prompt-injection defense (96.9% detection accuracy) and end-to-end audit logging.
Permissions-aware enterprise search across 100+ connected apps, using deep-learning semantic understanding and a company knowledge graph for personalized, real-time-indexed results.
Announced ("coming soon") module that maps enterprise workflows, ranks AI-automation opportunities, drafts agent blueprints for Glean Agent Builder, and tracks ROI of AI adoption.
An intelligent company homepage that brings work, knowledge and agents into one surface.
