Join us at Cleric

We’re building an autonomous AI agent that investigates and resolves production incidents. Our agent combines LLMs with tools to understand systems, reason through problems, and take corrective actions — even for issues it hasn’t seen before.

Cleric is already running in production at high-scale companies across fintech, ride-sharing, and autonomous vehicles.
