Roll for initiative: our week at AI Engineer World’s Fair 2026
Everyone knows agents can write code, but the open question is what happens after the code is merged.
Our LLM judge scored worse than chance until we made it compare
We rank an agent’s investigation traces by comparing them in pairs and turning the wins into an Elo score. Grading each trace on its own scored worse than chance. Comparison made the ranking work, and it catches regressions our other evals miss.
How we verify Cleric’s production fixes
A correct diagnosis isn’t the same as a fixed problem. We built a verifier that checks Cleric’s fixes against the best ground truth available: production itself.
You’re renting your institutional knowledge
Most AI agents rent knowledge back through forward-deployed engineers. The ones worth buying compound verified memory in systems you own.
How Cleric uses Tailscale to securely automate software operations
An AI SRE has to access the same private resources a human engineer would. We use Tailscale to get there.
Stop Reviewing Agent Output. Start Reviewing Agent Decisions.
When agents can produce anything, the bottleneck shifts from code to judgment. You manage that by reading the decisions, not the outputs.
Why Your AI SRE Needs Memory
Investigation logic is becoming a commodity. What won’t commoditize is operational memory: the ability to capture and persist engineering judgment.
Hooks Won’t Secure Your AI Agent
AI Agents require strict network controls in order to keep the data they handle secure.
Cleric launches the first self-learning AI SRE
We created the first AI site reliability engineer (SRE) agent that continuously learns from every incident so software engineers can focus on building instead of firefighting.
The Self-Improving AI SRE
We’ve proven that our self-learning AI SRE approach works. Now we’re ready to scale.
Agent Engineering Is Not Software Engineering
Agent startups hire differently. ML fundamentals and domain intuition matter more than years of software engineering.
