AI Agents for Platform Engineering
Kestrel is the AI automation layer for platform engineering teams.
Platform teams use Kestrel to automate incident response, cloud provisioning, CI/CD, security, and developer requests across their stack.
Kestrel turns natural-language prompts into deterministic, production-ready workflows with 25+ integrations, 140+ pre-built actions, and support for custom HTTP and webhook actions.
Developer-first, with a CLI, Python SDK, and MCP server to manage workflows from where platform teams already work.
