Datadog

Application

AI ImpactApplication

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.

Bits ChatApplication

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.

GPU MonitoringApplication

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.

WatchdogApplication

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.

AI agent

Bits CodeAI agent

Coding agent that triages production errors, regressions and vulnerabilities from Datadog telemetry, generates fixes with unit tests grounded in logs, traces and runtime variables, and opens pull requests for review.

Bits InvestigationAI agent

AI SRE agent that autonomously investigates every alert the moment it fires, explores multiple root-cause hypotheses in parallel and reports findings into Slack, Jira, ServiceNow or GitHub.

Bits ReleaseAI agent

Bits Release is an AI agent that validates code changes from pull request to production.

Bits Security AnalystAI agent

Always-on AI SOC analyst that autonomously triages and investigates security alerts and delivers written investigation results to Datadog, Slack or Jira within minutes.

Bits TestingAI agent

Bits Testing uses AI to discover application workflows and generate synthetic tests.

Developer tool

Agent ObservabilityDeveloper tool

Traces, evaluates and monitors LLM and AI-agent applications in production, with offline experimentation on datasets built from real traces.

Datadog MCP ServerDeveloper tool

Model Context Protocol server that gives AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor and Codex secure real-time access to Datadog logs, metrics and traces under existing RBAC controls.

LangWatch

Application

LangWatch Instant EvalsApplication

A LangWatch component that evaluates stored agent conversations, traces, and LLM calls against questions expressed in plain language.

AI agent

LangyAI agent

LangWatch's automated AI engineer: it reads production traces, clusters failures, writes tests and opens a pull request with CI checks, running on the customer's own model keys; you review and merge.

Developer tool

LangWatch LLM observabilityDeveloper tool

LangWatch LLM observability traces model calls, tool calls and retrieval steps while displaying costs, latency and errors.

No counterpart

Datadog sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for LangWatch yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Agent platform

Bits Agent BuilderAgent platform

No-code builder for custom AI agents that investigate, decide and act inside Datadog to automate incident response, observability, security and operational workflows.

LangWatch sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Datadog yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

API service

LangWatch AI GatewayAPI service

Gateway that puts every LLM call through one endpoint on the customer's own provider keys, with per-person, team, project and customer spending budgets, provider fallback, a trace for every call and webhooks for billing end customers.
