Cleric

Ingegnere autonomo dell’affidabilità dei siti basato sull’IA, che indaga sugli incidenti in produzione giorno e notte e comunica i risultati prima ancora che una persona reperibile apra un portatile.

In inglese

Cleric was founded in San Francisco in 2023 by Shahram Anver, who led DevOps and ML platform work at Gojek, and Willem Pienaar, a former Tecton principal engineer and creator of the open-source Feast feature store. The pair built Cleric around a simple premise: most of what an SRE does during an incident is investigation, not remediation, and a system that plugs into existing observability tools, logs and dashboards can do that legwork before a human is even paged. Cleric operates read-only against a company's infrastructure, forming and testing hypotheses about an alert's root cause and posting its findings, with confidence scores and supporting evidence, directly in Slack. It builds a persistent knowledge graph of each customer's environment so investigations get faster over time rather than starting from zero on every incident. The company raised $9.8 million in seed funding led by Vertex Ventures US, with participation from Zetta Venture Partners, and was named a Gartner Cool Vendor in 2025 for AI in SRE and observability.
