Opsera is releasing several new agents as a part of its Agentic DevOps offering that proactively manage DevOps workflows in an attempt to address some of the bottlenecks introduced by AI-assisted coding.
According to a recent report from the company, AI-assisted coding can speed up metrics like Time-to-Pull Request or test pass rate, but it is also subject to bottlenecks that slow delivery down, such as longer PR review times. For example, the company found that AI-assisted workflows had a 48-58% faster average Time-to-Pull Request, but that AI-generated pull requests wait 4.6x as long to be reviewed compared to human-written ones.
Opera also found that AI-generated code suffered from issues like increased code duplication (13.5% vs 10.5%) and security vulnerabilities (15-18% more) compared to human-written code.
“Enterprises require a new approach to govern and manage the velocity of AI-driven development. Agentic DevOps addresses this challenge by introducing autonomous agents that proactively manage workflows, ensuring the entire lifecycle operates as quickly as code is written,” the company wrote in an announcement.
The company’s new agents have access to deep contextual awareness throughout the software delivery pipeline and can understand and analyze connections throughout the system. These insights can help companies get a better understanding of the ROI on their investments and explore “what if” scenarios for proposals and changes.
Autonomous remediation capabilities also help software development teams understand the root cause of pipeline failures, security vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps, and can automatically apply fixes.
Additionally, Agentic DevOps offers policy-as-code guardrails to ensure that any action an agent takes complies with the company’s security standards and regulatory requirements.
“Today, the software industry faces a critical inflection point, and it’s clear the future of DevOps is agentic. However, we believe it must be open and flexible to serve the realities of enterprise software delivery,” said Kumar Chivukula, CEO and co-founder of Opsera. “We built Opsera to be the intelligent orchestration layer that connects the entire ecosystem. Our platform provides intelligent AI agents that don’t just report on problems; they proactively identify and solve both engineering and business problems, all while working seamlessly with the tools teams already trust and love.”
