Introducing Resolve: An AI Production Engineer

The Generative AI era presents an unprecedented opportunity to reshape software engineering. This future isn’t about AI replacing engineers; it’s about AI and humans working together to amplify productivity by 100x, enabling engineers to focus on what they do best: innovating and building.

While early AI applications in software engineering show promise, many are missing the broader potential. These tools often focus on assisting with new feature development, yet the reality is that engineers spend up to 90% of their time understanding production code, maintaining systems, and ensuring reliability. This critical but tedious work often requires engineers to be on-call for stressful incidents, leading to burnout, turnover, and lost productivity.

Resolve AI is on a mission to unlock engineers’ full potential by eliminating operational toil and empowering them to focus on what they love — innovation. Resolve is unveiling the world’s first AI production engineer, which autonomously troubleshoots, and resolves production issues, significantly reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR) and dramatically accelerating engineering teams’ productivity.

Founders Spiros Xanthos and Mayank Agarwal are highly distinguished and accomplished serial entrepreneurs who have previously built multiple companies including two successful exits to VMWare and Splunk. They also co-created OpenTelemetry, the most widely adopted open-source observability project. Their rare combination of expertise in observability and AI positions them perfectly to tackle this important problem, and they have built an impressive senior engineering team.

Greylock partners Saam Motamedi and Corinne Marie Riley share more about why they led the $35M seed round in Resolve AI.
