Grafana investigates inside Grafana.
Cleric investigates all of production.
Grafana adds AI inside Grafana Cloud, while Cleric learns from issues across your full production environment.
Four dimensions that matter in production
Grafana Assistant Observability, cloud, code, deploys, tickets, chat, and customer context.
Grafana telemetry, dashboards, queries, and investigation context inside Grafana Cloud.
Can start from an alert, a Jira ticket, a customer escalation, a Slack thread, or a scheduled proactive scan.
Usually starts from Grafana signals, dashboards, or an investigation inside the observability workflow.
No walled garden. If a system has an API or MCP server, Cleric can pull it into the investigation.
Broad observability integrations, but the operating surface stays centered on Grafana.
Measured against real outcomes, with more accuracy and more autonomy over time.
Guidance, investigation support, and AI observability for LLM apps.

Grafana Assistant Bottom line
Grafana investigates inside the observability workflow. Cleric is a learning system for production, with broader issue intake and cross-stack investigation. That is the difference between an agent inside a tool and a system that improves across your environment.
