In an age where digital infrastructure is both a lifeline and a liability, organizations are under increasing pressure to deliver seamless experiences while managing complex IT systems. The recent global outage served as a stark reminder of the fragility of these systems, highlighting the critical need for rapid and efficient incident response. In this landscape, generative AI (GenAI) and automation are emerging as powerful tools to enhance operational resilience and risk management.
PagerDuty, a leader in digital operations management, is at the forefront of this transformation. The company is integrating cutting-edge GenAI capabilities into its Operations Cloud, aiming to empower organizations with faster, smarter incident response tools. These innovations promise to mitigate risks, improve operational efficiency, and drive business growth by reducing the time and effort required to resolve incidents.
Introducing PagerDuty Advance: A GenAI-Powered Suite for Every Incident Stage
The launch of PagerDuty Advance, a comprehensive suite of GenAI features embedded within the PagerDuty Operations Cloud platform. Designed to streamline the entire incident lifecycle, PagerDuty Advance equips organizations to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives. By automating routine tasks and providing critical context from incident detection through resolution and post-incident learning, this suite enables responders to operate with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
This GenAI chatbot delivers crucial incident context and next-step recommendations directly within Slack, easing the cognitive load on responders. (Support for Microsoft Teams is forthcoming.)
Teams can now draft audience-specific status updates in seconds, allowing them to focus more on resolving incidents than on crafting communications.

The PagerDuty Operations Cloud is built to handle critical operational challenges and support strategic business initiatives. By leveraging GenAI, PagerDuty aims to revolutionize how organizations manage incidents, modernize operations centers, and streamline automation processes.
Traditional Network Operations Centers (NOCs) often rely on a labor-intensive, error-prone model that struggles with the sheer volume of data today’s enterprises generate. PagerDuty’s GenAI capabilities offer a transformative solution, enabling NOCs to efficiently triage incidents and resolve issues with minimal human intervention. The PagerDuty Advance Assistant provides proactive guidance, helping teams quickly diagnose and remediate problems.
Many enterprises face challenges in scaling automation due to data silos and disconnected systems. PagerDuty’s end-to-end unified automation, bolstered by AI-generated runbooks, allows even non-technical teams to create and deploy automation jobs rapidly. Operators can convert conversational prompts into actionable runbooks, streamlining operations across the board.
In complex digital environments, rapid incident response is crucial. PagerDuty Advance offers a suite of tools that provide a comprehensive view of incidents, enhancing visibility and understanding of their impact. The PagerDuty Advance Assistant ensures regular status updates are sent to stakeholders, tailored to specific audiences using GenAI capabilities.
PagerDuty Advance is now available to eligible customers on Business and Enterprise plans for Incident Management and Customer Service Operations. These customers can take advantage of a one-time set of PagerDuty Advance credits at no additional cost.
