Grafana Assistant Demo: AI-Powered Root Cause Analysis and Remediation

Grafana

Nov 2, 2026

See how Grafana Assistant uses AI to investigate incidents, identify root causes, and help remediate application problems. In this demo, Engineering Manager Ksenia Yadav and Staff Product Manager Maurice Rochau show how AI-powered observability supports the move toward autonomous operations, from detecting problems to generating code fixes and validating their impact in production.

Explore how Grafana Assistant uses context from your telemetry, infrastructure, incidents, business data, and code to:

Detect problems earlier and accelerate root cause analysis.
Coordinate remediation and generate and apply code fixes.
Validate the impact of changes in production.
Automatically start an investigation when an alert fires.
Run scheduled jobs while your team focuses on other work.

The session demonstrates both interactive and autonomous workflows. Work alongside Assistant in the sidebar or in a dedicated Assistant Workspace session, or let it take on investigations and scheduled tasks in the background.

Watch to see what agentic operations looks like in practice, and how Grafana Assistant can help teams spend less time on operations and more time building for their customers.
