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.
AI 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.
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.
Always-on AI SOC analyst that autonomously triages and investigates security alerts and delivers written investigation results to Datadog, Slack or Jira within minutes.
Developer tool
Traces, evaluates and monitors LLM and AI-agent applications in production, with offline experimentation on datasets built from real traces.
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.
ServiceNow
Application
ServiceNow's generative-AI and semantic search layer, surfacing answers from knowledge articles, FAQs and platform data across portals, mobile apps and Virtual Agent.
Lets any AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or custom) execute governed ServiceNow actions headlessly through MCP and A2A protocols, applying ServiceNow's own workflow guardrails to third-party agent calls.
AI document-processing app that extracts information from PDFs and scanned documents and classifies multi-page documents by user-defined type, with human-in-the-loop feedback for variable documents.
An AI assistant that unifies Now Assist, Moveworks and AI Experience into one voice, chat and text interface for completing work across ServiceNow-connected systems.
Built-in machine-learning layer that classifies and routes incidents/cases, generates smart recommendations, detects major incidents and predicts resolution times across Now Platform workflows.
AI agent
Autonomous agents that execute IT, HR and customer service workflows on the Now Platform.
Creates and updates ServiceNow applications from natural-language prompts (ServiceNow's vibe-coding / app-building agent).
Developer tool
ServiceNow's tool for building and testing enterprise AI agents on the Now Platform.
