About DrDroid
What we do
DrDroid is building AI Agents for Platform & Infrastructure teams. We help engineering teams fix issues faster and reduce escalations during on-call—automating triage, debugging, and remediation.
We’re also the team behind several open-source projects: 🔹 Playbooks – A runbook automation platform 🔹 Kenobi – An event analytics platform for debugging data pipelines
Join us in redefining how teams run operations in the post-GPT world.
Vision
Think if anyone in the team can debug an average production issue without requiring to involve a senior engineer (or a team of engineers?). Wouldn't that be wonderful? That's what we are working towards.
Funding
To work towards our vision, we couldn’t have been more grateful for having some amazing investors. We are lucky enough to be supported by Accel and we were part of Y-Combinator’s W23 batch.
