aiHelpDesk: The AI DB SRE That Learns From Every Incident



aiHelpDesk is an AI multi-agent system for diagnosing and remediating PostgreSQL (and PotsgreSQL derivative databases, like AlloyDB Omni) issues on Kubernetes and VMs. aiHelpDesk links frontier model reasoning to your specific environment — your databases, your tool catalog, your operational history — and couples it with a strictly governed execution arm that actually fixes problems, not just explains them





aiHelpDesk Core Concepts





There are just a few fundamental concepts that aiHelpDesk relies on:
an Incident, a Fault, a Playbook and a Vault.
There are a lot more smaller entities around those, but the core premise
of the Operational SRE/DBA Flywheel revolves around just these four.

Operational Memory that Compounds
