Short answer

How do I coordinate incident response with my AI?

You ask your AI to identify the correct responder teams or find specific runbooks. It pulls that data directly from FireHydrant so you can act immediately. You get the right people and the right instructions without switching tabs.

Incident outcomes

Where your incident data lands.

The AI handles the lookup work so you can focus on the fix.

TEAM LOOKUP

Identify responders

The AI identifies which teams are responsible for a specific service or component. You get a clear list of who needs to be in the incident.

DOC SEARCH

Find runbooks

Your AI finds the exact runbook needed for the current issue. You get the instructions you need to start remediation right away.

TEAM DETAILS

Get team info

The AI pulls specific details about a team's structure or ownership. This helps you understand exactly who is on call or responsible.

HUMAN ACTION

Execute the fix

The AI provides the data, but you make the decisions. You use the runbooks and team info to drive the actual incident resolution.

The workflow

What your AI does when an incident starts.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat and your FireHydrant data.

  1. Identify responders

    The AI looks up all available responder groups to see who handles the affected service.
