Copilot
Ask a question about production in English, and let it read the data to answer.
Copilot is an assistant with read access to your monitoring data.
The difference from a general chatbot is that it can look things up. Asked why checkout is slow, it queries the traces, the error groups, the recent deploys and the change feed — rather than describing what usually causes slow checkouts.
Engines
| Engine | |
|---|---|
| Claude via API | An API key |
| Claude Max via CLI | Uses the claude CLI on the host — implemented as a client, so it is interchangeable |
Selected in Settings → AI Copilot. History is shared between engines, so switching does not lose a conversation.
The default model is the most capable available; the model catalogue and its pricing are in the settings page.
What it can do
Automatic uses
Beyond the chat, it runs in a few specific places:
| Use | Where |
|---|---|
| Alert triage | Endpoint guard pre-fire verdicts |
| Post-mortem drafting | Post-mortems |
| Changelog drafting | Releases |
| Code review | Code review |
| Scheduled insights | Periodic analyses posted to Slack |
| Slack bot | Ask it from Slack |
Conversations
Each conversation has a UUID in the URL. Reloading the page returns to the same conversation rather than starting a new one — which sounds trivial and is the difference between a tool people use during an incident and one they do not.
What to ask
It is good at questions that require joining several sources:
- "What changed in the hour before this incident?"
- "Has this error group appeared before, and what fixed it?"
- "Which endpoints got slower after 4.18.2?"
- "Summarise last week's alerts by service."
It is poor at questions with no data behind them, and it will say so rather than invent an answer.
Reading its answers
Check the data it cites. It reports what the tools returned, and a tool that returned nothing because a filter was wrong looks the same as a tool that returned nothing because there is nothing.
The citations are there to be followed.
Where this behaviour lives: backend/internal/service/copilot_svc.go, frontend/src/app/copilot/. If the code and this page disagree, the code is right — please fix the page.
