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.
Z.ai (Zhipu AI)
Application
AI research assistant built on Zhipu's GLM models that performs academic and scholar search, AI-assisted paper reading, literature-review generation with citations, and scholarly question answering.
Deep-research assistant that searches and scrapes source websites to produce structured research reports and can emit the result as a slide deck or web page, with browser automation and video summarisation.
Zhipu's Chinese-market consumer AI assistant and agent built on the GLM model family, covering dialogue, writing, coding, translation and multimodal input.
AI agent
Locally installed AI agent application with 50+ preconfigured skills that performs document generation, data analysis, browser automation and messaging-app collaboration, running on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android and defaulting to the GLM-5.3 model.
Developer tool
Flat-rate monthly subscription providing GLM model access inside third-party coding agents and IDEs such as Claude Code, Codex, Cline, OpenCode, Cursor and Windsurf, billed separately from Z.ai's per-token API.
