# Cleric blog > Posts on AI SRE, production reliability, and how Cleric is built. > > Markdown version of https://cleric.ai/blog for AI agents and LLMs. Site index: https://cleric.ai/llms.txt - [Jev the Decider: JIT for Agents](https://cleric.ai/blog/jev-the-decider-jit-for-agents.md) (Sep 25, 2026): Constraining action spaces for faster, cheaper agents - [Roll for initiative: our week at AI Engineer World’s Fair 2026](https://cleric.ai/blog/roll-for-initiative-ai-engineer-worlds-fair.md) (Sep 1, 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](https://cleric.ai/blog/measuring-an-sre-agent-without-ground-truth.md) (Jul 23, 2026): 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](https://cleric.ai/blog/verifying-fixes.md) (Jul 22, 2026): 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](https://cleric.ai/blog/youre-renting-your-institutional-knowledge.md) (Jun 7, 2026): 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](https://cleric.ai/blog/how-cleric-uses-tailscale-to-securely-automate-software-operations.md) (May 1, 2026): 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.](https://cleric.ai/blog/stop-reviewing-output-start-reviewing-decisions.md) (Apr 17, 2026): 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](https://cleric.ai/blog/why-your-ai-sre-needs-memory.md) (Mar 19, 2026): 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](https://cleric.ai/blog/hooks-wont-secure-your-ai-agent.md) (Jan 30, 2026): AI Agents require strict network controls in order to keep the data they handle secure. - [Cleric launches the first self-learning AI SRE](https://cleric.ai/blog/cleric-launches-the-first-self-learning-ai-sre.md) (Dec 9, 2025): 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](https://cleric.ai/blog/the-self-improving-ai-sre.md) (Dec 9, 2025): We’ve proven that our self-learning AI SRE approach works. Now we’re ready to scale. - [Agent Engineering Is Not Software Engineering](https://cleric.ai/blog/agent-engineering-is-not-software-engineering.md) (Dec 8, 2025): Agent startups hire differently. ML fundamentals and domain intuition matter more than years of software engineering. - [Cleric Named a Cool Vendor in the 2025 Gartner® Cool Vendors™ in AI for SRE and Observability](https://cleric.ai/blog/cleric-named-a-cool-vendor-in-the-2025-gartner-cool-vendors.md) (Nov 12, 2025): We’ve been named a Cool Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Cool Vendors in AI for SRE and Observability report. We see this as validation of our approach to building a self-improving AI SRE. - [The Hidden Complexity of Building an AI SRE](https://cleric.ai/blog/the-hidden-complexity-of-building-an-ai-sre.md) (Sep 18, 2025): Building an AI SRE isn’t just connecting an LLM to dashboards. It means reasoning through hidden dependencies, conflicting signals, and cascading failures in live production systems. - [What’s Good for AI Agents is Good for Engineers](https://cleric.ai/blog/whats-good-for-ai-agents-is-good-for-engineers.md) (Aug 14, 2025): Engineers and AI agents work best under the same conditions. They need clean codebases, fast feedback, and clear observability. - [9 Months In: How BlaBlaCar and Cleric Are Reimagining Incident Response with AI](https://cleric.ai/blog/how-blablacar-and-cleric-are-reimagining-incident-response-with-ai.md) (Jun 5, 2025): BlaBlaCar runs one of the most advanced reliability stacks in the industry, but even strong systems hit limits as scale grows. By integrating Cleric into their alerting workflow, they’re using AI to reduce manual toil and bring faster, more consistent investigations to every team. - [Why Your Engineers Are Drowning in Alerts](https://cleric.ai/blog/why-your-engineers-are-drowning-in-alerts.md) (May 15, 2025): Modern engineering teams are overwhelmed by on-call duties and alert fatigue, leaving little time for innovation. Cleric acts as an AI SRE teammate that intelligently investigates incidents, helping engineers stay focused by offloading the cognitive burden of production support. - [What is an AI SRE?](https://cleric.ai/blog/what-is-an-ai-sre.md) (Dec 12, 2024): Engineering teams are deploying AI agents to handle production operations. This deep dive shows how AI SREs work: building system understanding, investigating issues, and driving resolution. You’ll learn their current capabilities and limitations, and how they will change the way engineering teams operate. - [Introducing Cleric: The first autonomous AI site reliability engineer](https://cleric.ai/blog/introducing-cleric.md) (Mar 21, 2024): We’re excited to announce that we’re building an autonomous AI SRE, called Cleric, backed by Zetta Venture Partners in a $4.3M seed round. Cleric is an AI teammate designed to autonomously manage, optimize, and heal software infrastructure.
