Accelerate time-to-automation by delegating routine tasks to AI Teammates, available 24/7 to support dev and ops teams while you focus on the strategic work that drives impact.
Kubiya is a platform for building AI-powered teammates that eliminate operational bottlenecks in your organization, allowing you and your team to be more productive and efficient.
AI Teammates are LLM-powered entities that are able to run Kubiya tools, which are stateless services built on docker images. Kubiya tools are predictable, meaning that they'll work exactly as expected every time.
Kubiya combines the worlds of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and LLMs to create intelligent workflow automations that operators can set up and manage in a familiar way.
In Kubiya, end-to-end automated scenarios are known as use cases. Like IaC, a use case is about many different resources working together to achieve a goal. In the case of Kubiya, the goal of the resources is to eliminate operational bottlenecks and streamline your processes.
Below we will introduce you to various kinds of Kubiya resources and how to use them to build your own use cases. First, let's review a few key features of Kubiya.
You can use your AI Teammates via chat (Kubiya has Slack and MS Teams apps), as well as webhooks and scheduled tasks (i.e. cronjobs).
AI Teammates can connect with all 3rd-party and internal platforms and perform operations within them, creating endless possibilities for the types of tasks your AI Teammates can take on.
Giving access to your organization's infrastructure is a great responsibility that we take very seriously at Kubiya. We've designed and engineered the platform to protect your information and infrastructure, enforce your organization's policies, and leave an audit trail for your security and compliance teams. Kubiya stores all secrets in AWS Secrets Manager, uses industry-best Open Policy Agent (OPA) to enforce your organization's policies, and can run from within your Kubernetes cluster. For more information about security in Kubiya, reach out to our team.
With Kubiya, you can implement any types of policies that you want and your AI Teammate will respect them, allowing you to maintain organizational compliance.
Do you prefer working via IaC? CLI? UI? With Kubiya you can provision, configure, and manage resources using our Terraform provider, CLI, or web app UI, so that you can work however is most comfortable.
UI: Kubiya Web App
CLI: Kubiya CLI
Kubiya turns everything your automations need into composable resources.
Static objects (Secrets, Organizational Knowledge, Policies)
Stateless services (Tools, ABAC Policy Enforcement)
LLM-powered interfaces (Teammates)
Connectors (Integrations)
...and more. These resources come together to form a use case, which is an end-to-end automated scenario meant to eliminate an operational bottleneck.
In the world of DevOps and infrastructure operations, you define your infrastructure as code because it's complex, collaborative, and requires proper guardrails like CI/CD.
Similarly an entire automated scenario, aka a use case, typically involves multiple resources working together within your infrastructure in order to achieve a goal, while needing to maintain protection over your sensitive information and utilize your organization's policies. This makes IaC a particularly useful way to group, provision, and manage use cases.
Each use case is a Terraform module that contains all of the resources and their dependencies, enabling you to set them up rapidly by simply setting values for the module's variables and then running terraform apply.
Examples of use cases for Kubiya AI Teammates include:
Just-in-time permissions for AWS resources
Effortless self-serve Terraform modules for your team
Use cases for Kubiya AI Teammates are limitless. Kubiya offers pre-built use cases that you can use to get started, or you can build your own from scratch.
Building use cases for your AI Teammates is familiar thanks to IaC. With that said, you may want to get a quick taste for what Kubiya can do and experience rapid time-to-automation. You can use our pre-built use cases to set up powerful automations in minutes – check them out here.
All of Kubiya's pre-built use cases are built using Terraform and the modules are open-source, so you can examine them to see exactly how we put them together. Additionally, you can check out our breakdowns which walk you through how the Kubiya platform was leveraged to build those use cases.
