What is Rootly?
Rootly is an incident management platform for engineering teams that covers on-call, incident response, retrospectives and status pages, with AI built into each stage. Its On-Call product handles schedules, escalation policies, alert routing and paging through a mobile app. Incident Response runs inside Slack, Microsoft Teams or Google Chat, where an assistant keeps a running record, writes summaries and triggers automated workflows. The AI SRE add-on investigates alerts against code changes and earlier incidents, proposes probable root causes with confidence scores and drafts fixes. After an incident, retrospective documents are generated from templates and action items sync both ways with Jira. Rootly connects to existing tooling through integrations, an API, a CLI, webhooks, a Terraform provider and an MCP server that works from an IDE. Products are priced per user and can be bought separately or bundled.
