Davis is a powerful AI engine developed by Dynatrace that helps organizations automate and improve their IT operations. It uses a combination of predictive AI, causal AI, and generative AI.
It is a powerful tool that can help organizations improve their IT operations in several ways. If you're looking for a way to reduce downtime, improve performance, and save money, then Davis is worth considering.
Davis Features
- Hypermodal AI: Davis uniquely integrates predictive, causal, and generative AI for observability, security, and business applications. This approach allows for comprehensive analysis and insights.
- Automatic Root-Cause Analysis: It detects and analyzes the root causes of issues, pinpointing problems using topology, transaction, and code-level information. Davis CoPilot then suggests remedial actions.
- Natural Language Queries: Through Dynatrace Query Language (DQL), Davis CoPilot enables exploring data and identifying patterns via natural language, enhanced with causal AI for deeper context.
- Auto-Coded Workflows: Facilitates the creation of automated workflows using natural language inputs, streamlining processes like auto-remediation and integration with various operational tools.
- Predictive Operations: Davis forecasts and proactively addresses issues, offering features like predictive disk resizing and autoscaling resources. It generates reports and initiates actions automatically.
- Auto-Generated Quality Checks: These define and validate quality objectives throughout the delivery process, applying machine learning, anomaly detection, and root cause analysis for simplification.
- AI-Powered Application Security: Automatically assesses risks, detects threats, recommends remediation strategies, and simplifies security analysis, integrating all data in real-time.
- Natural Language to Visual Analytics: Transforms natural language input into visual analytics, generating dashboards and notebooks to simplify data exploration.
- AI-Assisted Onboarding and Platform Use: Utilizes a custom-trained large language model (LLM) for efficient onboarding and platform utilization, enabling quick adaptation to new technologies and configurations.
- Custom-Trained LLMs and Hypermodal AI: Leverages optimized LLMs for precise answers and recommendations. The combination of predictive, causal, and generative AI enhances data transformation for accurate insights and results.
