Interview featuring Ronak Desai, Co-Founder and CEO of AI SRE Teammate Company, Ciroos
In the ever-evolving world of technology, a new player is set to make waves in the industry. Ciroos, a company focused on building AI teammates that fix tech issues faster, has recently secured $21 million in funding, led by Energy Impact Partners.
At the helm of Ciroos is Ronak Desai, its co-founder and CEO. With a decade-long stint at Cisco under his belt, most recently as senior vice president and general manager of AppDynamics, Desai brings a wealth of experience to the table. This is his fifth startup, a testament to his entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to innovation.
The company's core product, the Ciroos AI SRE Teammate, is designed to work alongside site reliability engineering (SRE) teams and operations teams, aiming to minimize toil, expedite incident response, and explain anomalies across hybrid, multi-domain environments.
The observability market, estimated to be $50 billion, and the TAM for AI as a Teammate, projected to exceed $250 billion, present significant opportunities for Ciroos. The company sees these markets as ripe for disruption, particularly in addressing the ongoing challenge of under-resourced and overburdened operations teams.
Ciroos is addressing this issue by rebalancing the scales. The company's AI system, designed to think, act, and improve with every interaction, aims to give operations teams the support they need to tackle tech issues more efficiently.
The root cause analysis (RCA) engine at the heart of the Ciroos AI SRE Teammate has evolved to dynamically coordinate chains of domain-specific agents. Moreover, the system now includes foundational support for integrating with third-party agents through open protocols.
Ciroos integrates with a large set of observability, incident response, collaboration, and other enterprise tools. This allows the AI SRE Teammate to reason through complexity in real time, helping operations teams get to answers faster, without major changes to their workflows.
The funding will be used to accelerate the development of the Ciroos AI SRE Teammate and scale go-to-market efforts. With the additional resources, the team at Ciroos is poised to innovate further and deliver even more value to its customers.
Feedback from design partners shows significant reductions in investigation times, a promising sign of the potential impact Ciroos could have on the tech industry. As the company continues to grow and evolve, it remains committed to obsessing about its customers' needs, building a multi-agentic system that solves for cross-domain correlation, and ensuring that operations teams always maintain control.
