• Agent Observability Developer tool

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

• Bits Chat Application

  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.

• Bits Investigation AI 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 Code 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.

• Bits Agent Builder Agent platform

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

• Bits Security Analyst AI 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.

• Datadog MCP Server Developer 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.

• AI Impact 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.

• Watchdog Application

  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.

• GPU Monitoring Application

  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.

• Bits Release AI agent

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

• Bits Testing AI agent

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

• Bits Threat Hunting AI agent

• Bits Data Analysis AI agent

  Preview AI teammate for ad-hoc data questions across Datadog and warehouse data: answers natural-language questions with SQL-backed answers, charts and dashboards.

• AI Gateway API service

  Single endpoint that governs an organisation's LLM use: routes agent and application traffic to OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI or Azure OpenAI, with spend budgets, team-level model access, policy enforcement and fallback when a model is over budget, rate-limited or down.

• AI Agents Console Application

  Console for monitoring the performance, reliability, adoption, errors and cost of AI coding tools and enterprise AI agents across an organisation, with early access for Claude Code, Cursor and MCP servers.
