PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 18, 2022 — Kubiya, the leading Conversational AI solution for DevOps teams, announced today that it has raised USD 6 million in a seed round led by Hyperwise Ventures, with investors Pierre Lamond, Giora Yaron, and others.
The funding will allow Kubiya to broaden its go-to-market strategy, expand its product offering, and ultimately redefine DevOps processes in businesses of all sizes. Facilitating self-service capabilities across business functions alleviates the enormous burden that DevOps teams face when dealing with day-to-day demands, empowering the wider workforce to solve problems without technical expertise.
With 64% of IT leaders reporting difficulty finding skilled DevOps practitioners, existing operators are frequently overstretched to meet ever-increasing business demands. Everyday tasks such as providing access to databases and storage buckets, investigating service logs and metrics, or responding to urgent financial questions such as the cost of a customer environment can become stuck in a virtual queue, stalling productivity and causing backlogs that have an impact on bottom lines.
Conversational AI from Kubiya provides organizational users with a self-service option, allowing them to express their intent in natural language and have the virtual assistant take appropriate action by automating simple and time-consuming tasks. Kubiya’s solution can draw on data from multiple sources, contextualizing each user inquiry to achieve quick, comprehensive results while freeing up DevOps teams for more complex tasks that require a human response – increasing overall productivity.
Amit Eyal Govrin, CEO and Co-Founder of Kubiya, stated that:
Businesses don’t know what they don’t know, which makes a true self-service culture impossible. This requires DevOps to always be present to manage the process and provide assistance. FFacilitating natural language interaction between humans and machines and converting their intent into actions effectively removes the dependency on the operator in the loop. Kubiya’s distinct approach is poised to change how companies hire, train, staff, and operate – particularly as we move into the next generation of remote-first workforces – we are refactoring the unit economics of DevOps.”
“Last mile bottlenecks such as locating service owners, managing access controls, and provisioning new resources are quite the adventure,” says Daniel Jensen, Earnin’s Director of Security Engineering. “Kubiya’s approach to transforming time-consuming processes into natural language workflows while maintaining a good balance of security and operational agility is a game changer.”
More about the startup:
Kubiya collaborates with dozens of industry leaders, including Aston Martin, Earnin, ZenBusiness, and others. Kubiya’s conversation-based operations will be uniquely positioned to provide benchmarks and cross-organizational best practices that help shape industry standards as the company’s customer community grows.
