An open-source AI tool that investigates outages safely
Nightwatch is an open-source tool for teams that run servers and apps. It groups many alerts into one incident and lets an AI agent look for the likely cause. The AI agent is read-only, so it checks systems without changing them. This can save time during outages and offers a useful pattern for safer AI operations tools.
