Root cause

ECS could not place the replacement task during an AZ rebalance because the MemberOf placement constraint was unsatisfiable.

CPU burst hit 115.22% but application logs showed normal operation

Fix properly: keep capacity in every AZ the constraint requires

Next best action:Relax the placement constraint so the rebalance completes

See what your alerts are really telling you

Sherlocks reads the alerts already in your Slack channels and turns them into a short list of problems: what fires together, what is still open, and what is just noise.

CEO

InterviewVector logo

"As CEO of InterviewVector, I need to trust that our platform is reliable. Sherlocks AI empowers our entire team, not just senior engineers, to understand and resolve issues quickly. The AI-driven insights mean we catch problems before they impact our users, and the Slack integration keeps everyone in the loop without endless meetings."

Harsh Sarohi

Head of Engineering

Trade India logo

"At TradeIndia, our systems are vast and complex, with multiple teams and responsibilities. Sherlocks AI brings consistency for incident response across departments. Its AI-driven insights not only detect potential issues early but also provide actionable steps, saving us valuable time. The direct Slack integration is excellent as our engineers can get answers to stack-specific and historic queries instantly."

Dinesh Singh

Co-founder & CTO

Topmate logo

"Sherlocks integrates seamlessly with Topmate’s tech stack. It’s excellent at clarifying whether incidents stem from our backend infrastructure or application layer, so tickets aren’t bouncing between teams and support resolves issues much faster. Triggering investigations directly from Slack via @sherlocks is a real time-saver."

Mayank Shekhar

Co-Founder & CTO

Robylon logo

"As CTO at Robylon, our stack is highly distributed and event-driven. Sherlocks integrates easy, auto-classifies faults across services, and drastically reduces the volume of “noisy” alerts that our pipelines used to emit. Its RCA engine surfaces the actual sources of failures, so our MTTR is down, and reactive firefighting has become a rare event."

Repos Energy logo

"At Repos Energy, customer trust is everything. Any downtime directly impacts our users' experience and our reputation. Sherlocks AI has been instrumental in helping us stay ahead of issues before they affect customers. The platform's proactive monitoring and intelligent alerting mean we're catching problems early before they escalate into real outages."

Gaurav Verma

Frequently Asked Questions

What engineering teams ask us most about running an AI SRE in production.

Sherlocks AI is built for teams that need on-call coverage without hiring more SREs. It acts as an AI SRE teammate that investigates incidents 24/7 and delivers root cause analysis in minutes rather than hours, cutting MTTR by up to 90%. Small teams can start free with 30 investigations per month, self-serve onboarding, and no credit card. It runs in Slack, so there is no new tool for the team to learn, and it is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and VPC-native, so it clears security review even at lean companies selling into enterprises.

Sherlocks AI has a Free plan at $0 with 30 investigations per month, all 16+ AI agents, Slack and Microsoft Teams integration, and self-serve onboarding, with no credit card required. The Enterprise plan is custom-priced and adds unlimited investigations, a dedicated field engineer for setup, a support engineer with an SLA, SSO/SAML, audit logs, RBAC, and air-gapped or in-VPC deployment options. An investigation is counted when Sherlocks receives an alert and dispatches agents to analyze it; correlated alerts in the same incident window count as one.

Most alerts are analyzed in two to three minutes, with complex multi-service incidents taking five to six. Sherlocks maps the alert to a knowledge graph of your infrastructure, forms a hypothesis, queries logs, metrics, and traces across your stack to validate it, then reports the root cause along with short-term and long-term remediations. Teams typically see MTTR fall from hours to minutes, alert noise drop by 90%, and downtime drop by 70%.

No. Sherlocks AI complements your observability tools rather than replacing them. It integrates with Datadog, New Relic, Prometheus, Sentry, Coralogix, Elasticsearch, and Loki, alongside AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins. Because the Watson agent reads directly from your infrastructure as well as your monitoring tools, Sherlocks can still investigate in places where your dashboards have blind spots.

Yes. Sherlocks AI is SOC 2 Type 2 certified. The Watson data agent runs inside your own VPC with strictly read-only permissions, so raw telemetry never leaves your controlled environment, and all interactions from API calls to stored information are encrypted in transit and at rest. Regulated customers can run fully air-gapped deployments and keep RCA processing inside their own cloud, and the security team is available to walk through compliance requirements directly.

Most teams finish setup in under 30 minutes and see their first AI-led investigation within an hour. You deploy the Watson collector into your cloud account using the Terraform module, Helm chart, or CloudFormation template, connect your existing integrations, and route your alerts to it. Sherlocks then builds a knowledge graph of your infrastructure and applications automatically, with minimal human input. Kubernetes is not required.

A general-purpose agent can reach your observability APIs and run commands, but you still have to wire it up, prompt it, and steer it — at 3 a.m., during an incident. Sherlocks AI is triggered by the alert itself and investigates autonomously with 16+ domain-specialized agents, then reports back in Slack. It also carries institutional memory across infrastructure, past incidents, runbooks, and Slack conversations, so each investigation starts with the context your team has already accumulated instead of from a blank prompt.

The product is Sherlocks AI, plural, at sherlocks.ai. Many people search for the singular "Sherlock AI" and mean this same platform: the same company, the same 16+ specialized agents, the same autonomous incident investigation and root cause analysis in Slack. The name is plural on purpose, because an incident is investigated by a team of detectives working in parallel rather than by a single one. The singular term is also used by several unrelated products, so searching for "Sherlocks AI" or "Sherlocks AI SRE" is the reliable way to find us.
