Introducing Rootly’s API AI-Agent-First Approach

Today, we’re excited to share how Rootly is pioneering the future by transforming its API into an AI-agent-first platform.

From Human-Driven to Agent-First APIs

APIs were designed for developers—humans piecing together calls from static documentation. But AI agents are taking the reins and need APIs that speak their language. Modern automation isn’t about manual assembly; it’s about clear, structured interactions that let intelligent agents execute complex, multi-step workflows effortlessly. So while APIs aren’t going away, it's time for a radical API redesign – one that focuses on AX (Agent Experience).

That’s why we have updated our API to be agent-friendly. By implementing the Agents JSON standard, we ensure that our customers’ LLM-powered agents can efficiently interact with Rootly’s API and compose complex workflows.

For those on the front lines of incident response, this innovation brings a wealth of benefits:

• Streamlined Data Handling: AI agents can gather, filter, and organize data across the entire Rootly platform. This means that teams can leverage deeper insights and make faster decisions during critical incidents.
• Enhanced Analysis: With the power of multifaceted AI-driven analysis, incident practitioners can now interact dynamically with data—ensuring that every decision is backed by real-time intelligence.

This capability not only boosts the speed and accuracy of responses but also empowers teams to develop more robust reliability and response strategies.

Simplifying Platform Administration

It’s also a game-changer for platform administrators. Managing incident workflows, policies, and configurations can often be a daunting task. Imagine a setup where:

• Natural, Conversational Interfaces: Admins no longer have to navigate complex interfaces. Instead, they can rely on AI agents to guide them through configuration and optimization.
• Optimized Workflows: The AI assistant can suggest best practices and streamlined processes, ensuring that incident management automation is both efficient and effective.

The Future of Incident Management is Agent-First

By making our API AI-agent-first, Rootly reinforces its commitment to being an AI-native company and empowering our customers to do the same. This development is more than just a technical upgrade—it’s another step towards a future where AI is deeply involved in incident management.
