Overview

Rootly AI matches your incident against everything your team already solved.
Related Incidents in Slack: a proactive summary card in the incident channel, and the full list of matches with per-incident feedback buttons when a responder asks
Matches surface right in the incident channel and on demand, whenever a responder asks.

Acting on a Match

Every match card carries the same set of actions: Feedback only shapes recommendations for your own team — it never trains models for other customers (see Privacy).

Grounded Answers

Ask what fixed it? and get an answer you can act on mid-incident:
  • On the record. The documented resolution is relayed.
  • Nothing recorded. Rootly AI says so and offers the retrospective or timeline.
Anything beyond your records is labeled inference (“the pattern suggests”), not fact.

Selective by Design

  • Reads each incident like a responder would: title, summary, severity, services, and more.
  • Keeps only genuine, concrete relationships. Similar wording alone doesn’t qualify.
Matching stays live: a new near-duplicate can hit rank #1 within minutes.

What Qualifies as a Match

On first enable, your history processes gradually in the background. New incidents become matchable within minutes.

Get Better Matches

  • Write specific titles and summaries. Matching reads what you write.
  • Fill in the fields. Every attribute is signal.
  • Record how incidents end. Resolution notes and retrospectives answer “what fixed it?”
  • Rate the responses. Mark as related / Not related tunes suggestions to the way your team works.
