AI Agents for Incident Investigation: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Vladyslav Budichenko, Vocaly AI
AI agents can help with production incidents, but most demos skip the messy reality. This session covers using LLM-based agents and coding engines like Claude Code during real on-call work. You'll learn how agents can compress investigation time, improve MTTR, and help you understand what broke without drowning in alerts and dashboards. We'll look at what works: pulling context, correlating signals, suggesting fixes. And what doesn't: where agents give bad advice or waste your time.
