Responder is a self-hostable AI incident-investigation platform. When a production alert fires, Responder automatically queries your observability tools, identifies the root cause, and delivers a structured report — complete with severity classification, evidence, timeline, and an optional pull request to fix the problem.

Quick Start

Get Responder running and investigate your first alert in minutes.

Deployment

Self-host Responder on your own infrastructure.

Agents

Learn how investigation agents work and how to configure them.

Integrations

Connect Slack, Sentry, Datadog, GitHub, and 15+ other tools.

How Responder Works

Responder watches your alert sources and automatically kicks off an investigation whenever something fires. Each investigation is handled by an Agent you configure — specifying which tools to query, which AI model to use, and how to deliver results.
1

Connect your tools

Link Slack, Sentry, Datadog, GitHub, and any other observability or cloud services your team uses. Responder keeps credentials encrypted per workspace.
2

Create an Agent

Configure an Agent with a trigger (Sentry project, Datadog monitor, Slack channel), the context sources to query during an investigation, and your preferred AI model.
3

Alerts trigger investigations

When an alert fires, Responder automatically runs an investigation — querying logs, traces, metrics, and code — then produces a structured report with severity, root cause, timeline, and remediation options.
4

Review results and ship fixes

View investigation reports in the dashboard or Slack. Approve an auto-generated pull request to deploy the fix, or follow the recommended remediation steps.

Key Features

Investigations

Structured reports with SEV-1/2/3 severity, root cause, evidence, and timeline — delivered to Slack or the dashboard.

Auto-Remediation

Responder can propose and open a GitHub pull request to fix the issue directly.

Issues Tracking

Issues persist across investigations so recurrences are automatically linked to their history.

Workspace Secrets

Securely inject API keys and credentials into investigation sandboxes.
