Our Mission

Turn reactive ops into proactive engineering. Cleric maps your stack, traces alerts to root cause, and feeds every verified outcome back into the next investigation.

Our Origin

Before Cleric, we built observability systems and spent years debugging production outages.

LLMs gave us the reasoning layer. But summarization isn’t investigation. Cleric reasons across alerts, logs, and dependencies to surface root cause instead of symptoms. Context from every resolution accumulates across the team instead of staying with the engineer who fixed it.

Our Team

We’re AI and platform engineering veterans. We’ve all spent time on-call wishing the tooling was better.
