AI Assistant

Deductive AI’s conversational assistant is your intelligent interface for investigating incidents, understanding systems, and getting answers about your production environment.

Natural Language Interface

Ask questions in plain English, and Deductive will:
  • Understand context from your connected integrations
  • Reason across multiple data sources
  • Provide evidence-backed answers
  • Suggest next steps and actions

Capabilities

Incident Investigation

Ask questions like:
  • “What caused the spike in error rates at 3pm?”
  • “Show me all code changes related to the payment service in the last week”
  • “What’s the root cause of the incident from last night?”
Deductive will:
  1. Parse your question to understand what you’re investigating
  2. Query relevant integrations (logs, metrics, code, etc.)
  3. Build a causal timeline
  4. Present evidence-backed conclusions

System Understanding

Get answers about your architecture:
  • “How does the payment service interact with the database?”
  • “What services depend on the authentication service?”
  • “Show me the deployment history for the API gateway”

Proactive Insights

Deductive can also surface insights proactively:
  • Cost optimization opportunities
  • Performance bottlenecks
  • Security concerns
  • Reliability improvements

Conversation Flow

Evidence-Based Responses

Every answer includes:
  • Source Citations - Links to logs, metrics, code, or tickets
  • Timeline Context - When events occurred
  • Confidence Levels - How certain Deductive is about the answer
  • Alternative Theories - Other possible explanations

Multi-Turn Conversations

Deductive maintains context across the conversation:
  1. Initial Query: “What’s wrong with the payment service?”
  2. Follow-up: “Show me the code changes that might have caused it”
  3. Refinement: “Focus on changes in the last 24 hours”
  4. Action: “Create a PR to fix this issue”
