With Datadog's AI Agents Console, you can monitor the behavior and interactions of any AI agent that’s a part of your enterprise stack, whether that’s a computer use agent like OpenAI’s Operator, IDE agent like Cursor, DevOps agent like Github Copilot, enterprise business agent like Agentforce, or your internally built agents. You'll have full visibility into every agent's actions, insights into the security and performance of your agents, analytics on user engagement, and measurable business value from every agent, all in a centralized location.

Datadog’s Latency Investigator for APM—now in Preview—automatically investigates hypotheses in the background, comparing historical traces and correlating change tracking, DBM, and profiling signals. This helps teams quickly isolate root causes and understand impact without combing through raw telemetry data. You can go from detection to resolution in a single workflow, and generate a pull request to apply a recommended fix, all without leaving Datadog..

Datadog Data Observability provides a complete solution with quality checks (e.g., volume, row changes, freshness), custom SQL-based monitors, anomaly detection, column-level lineage across systems like Snowflake and Tableau, full pipeline visibility, and targeted alerts when data issues arise.

Datadog Sheets provides a spreadsheet-style interface for analyzing your telemetry data — you can perform lookups, build pivot tables, and create calculated columns using familiar spreadsheet functionality. This enables teams to join datasets, aggregate results, and explore trends without writing code.

The Datadog Cursor Extension uses the Datadog remote MCP Server to give developers access to Datadog tools and observability data directly from within the Cursor IDE. The Cursor Extension enables you to view live variable values that your logpoints capture during execution, and you can use the Cursor Agent to identify the lines of code responsible for the issue at hand. The Datadog Cursor Extension is now available in Preview.

Datadog Internal Developer Portal (IDP) helps developers quickly track down shared engineering knowledge, execute common production tasks in self-service manner, and evaluate the production-readiness of new service code.

The Bits Dev Agent is an AI-powered coding assistant in Datadog designed to reclaim developer productivity by autonomously monitoring telemetry data, identifying key issues, and generating production-ready pull requests. Developers receive asynchronous, context-rich PRs with clear explanations, allowing them to shift their focus from troubleshooting to reviewing solutions and building better code.

Bits AI SRE is your AI on-call teammate, built to autonomously investigate alerts and coordinate incident response. Integrated with Datadog, Slack, GitHub, Confluence, and more, Bits analyzes telemetry, reads documentation, and reviews recent deployments to determine the root cause of alerts—often before you’ve even opened your laptop. In fact, if you're using Datadog On-Call, you can view Bits’s findings right from your phone—so you’re always one step ahead, no matter where you are.
