What it does

Rootly AI SRE is the AI feature set built into Rootly, an incident management and on-call platform. During an incident, it matches alerts, recent deploys, and code changes against past incidents to suggest a probable root cause with a confidence score. A bot can join the incident call to transcribe it live, and responders can tag the assistant in chat to get a summary or a drafted status update for stakeholders. Afterward, it drafts a retrospective document with the timeline already filled in. It is made by Rootly, which states it does not use customer incident data to train third-party models. Every suggested fix requires a person to approve it; nothing runs without that approval.

Where it can help

This fits a team running many production incidents, where writing status updates and retrospectives by hand takes real time away from fixing problems. A practical starting point is the two-week free trial, testing AI SRE on live incidents for one on-call rotation before expanding. Combined Incident Response and On-Call pricing starts near $20 per user per month for each product on the entry Essentials tier, roughly $24,000 a year for fifty users as a planning figure, with a custom-priced Scale tier adding compliance and customization. The main limitation is that suggested root causes and drafted communications still need a responder's judgment; the tool keeps a human in the loop and does not resolve incidents on its own.

How the number is calculated

The score converts the baseline ELO rating onto the TriVista scale. The headline badge rounds to a whole number. Scores are not silently clipped or capped.

TriVista Score = 50 + (ELO − 1350) / 6

Before you choose
  • Customer feedback is not yet strong enough to change the starting rating.
  • The starting rating includes a product-specific comparison.
  • Check the current price before you decide.
  • We recorded rollout time, how it runs, and when it does not fit.
How company details affect the score

The model adjusts the starting rating using the company details you select. Use these estimates to prioritize your review, then test the tool against your own requirements.
