Kubiya

Kubiya offers a conversational AI platform designed to automate and streamline DevOps processes for engineering teams. Founded in 2022 by CEO Amit Eyal Govrin and CTO Shaked Askayo, the company aims to resolve the bottlenecks and repetitive tasks that burden DevOps and platform engineers. The founders' backgrounds directly influenced Kubiya's creation; Govrin previously managed strategic DevOps partnerships at AWS, where he observed that self-service platforms were often hindered by their end-user experience, while Askayo, as a manager of a DevOps platform team, experienced the daily deluge of routine requests firsthand.

The company's core product, AI Teammates, functions as an agent-based system that allows developers and operations personnel to delegate complex operational tasks using natural language commands within chat platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams. These AI agents are not merely chatbots that provide information; they are designed for execution, capable of performing multi-step workflows autonomously, such as triggering deployments, provisioning cloud resources, managing Kubernetes, and updating service tickets. Kubiya's platform is engineered to be LLM-agnostic and integrates with a wide array of existing DevOps tools, including Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS, Jira, and GitHub, ensuring it connects with a company's entire technology stack. This approach allows engineering teams to create self-service capabilities, granting developers access to infrastructure and workflows in a controlled and secure manner.

Kubiya operates on a usage-based business model, with pricing centered around Function Call Units (FCUs) that measure the tasks executed by the AI agents. This model provides a transparent cost structure that scales with a client's consumption. The company targets a range of clients, from startups to large enterprises like A+E Networks. A key differentiator is the platform's focus on enterprise-grade security and governance, featuring deterministic execution, full context awareness of a client's infrastructure, and zero-trust security principles with SOC2 compliance, granular access controls, and complete audit trails for every action performed. Having secured $12 million in seed funding, with investors including Heavybit and Hyperwise VC, Kubiya is backed by prominent figures in the DevOps community, such as the co-founders of HashiCorp and Slack.
