AI-powered DevOps startup SRE.ai has officially launched from stealth with a $7.2 million seed round led by Salesforce Ventures and Crane Venture Partners, alongside participation from Y Combinator. The company, founded in 2024 by Edward Aryee (CTO) and Raj Kadiyala (CEO), aims to transform enterprise DevOps workflows with natural language AI agents capable of handling complex tasks such as continuous integration, testing, and data monitoring.

Inspired by their experiences at Google Research and DeepMind, Aryee and Kadiyala noticed a significant gap between advanced infrastructure tooling available at big tech firms and what most enterprises had to use. “The next generation of DevOps experiences needed to be created,” Aryee explained.

Unlike traditional low-code tools that often lock users into specific ecosystems like AWS, GCP, or Salesforce, SRE.ai provides cross-platform, context-driven, chat-like experiences that streamline workflows across multiple enterprise environments, including ServiceNow. Competing players include Copado, Gearset, and Flosum, but SRE.ai differentiates itself with its multi-cloud and multi-platform approach.

The platform’s onboarding automatically integrates with enterprise tools, offering custom pipelines, dashboards, and background monitoring to detect issues such as security risks, while recommending solutions. This enables IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives instead of repetitive tasks.

With the new funding, SRE.ai will scale its team by hiring AI engineers and Salesforce experts, while expanding features to support growing enterprise demand.
