In modern observability, speed matters. When something breaks, telemetry data explodes, queries get complex, or dashboards need to be built quickly, teams shouldn’t have to fight their tools - they should be guided by them.
For decades, application performance management and recently a new generation of observability tools have tried to reduce the mean time to repair (MTTR) by introducing root cause analysis tools based on statistics, machine learning and causal AI. And to be frank: The results were not impressive. There are too many false positives and no real deep understanding of the underlying issues.
This changes today with the launch of Agent0 - Dash0’s agentic AI platform. Agent0 is a family of specialized AI agents, each with a distinct role, built natively into the Dash0 platform. Instead of relying on a single, general-purpose assistant, Agent0 provides focused, expert agents that help you troubleshoot, build, learn, and accelerate.
Why Agent0?
Observability data is powerful but often overwhelming, especially as application complexity grows. Dashboards, queries, alerts, metrics, logs, and traces can be a maze to navigate when speed and precision are critical. Getting insights out of all this data requires expertise that is not always available.
We built Agent0 to make observability more intuitive, actionable, and fast by:
- Turning complex tasks into natural conversations
- Guiding engineers instead of replacing them
- Embedding domain knowledge directly into the product
- Operating as real agents that are deeply integrated into Dash0, not just chatbots
- It is integrated into the existing user experience and offers an alternative, unified interface that allows the user to interact with all agents in the same way.
Each agent acts like a specialized member of your team, bringing context, expertise, and speed. They act like power-user wingmen, experts on all things Dash0 and observability, to make the user more efficient.
Meet the First Five Agents of Agent0
We see our agents like a guild of heroes. A team of specialized AI agents designed to guide, build, and fight the noise in your observability stack.
Our agents are built on top of our MCP server, highly optimized tools, and data representations so that the models can be precise and powerful.
One of the design concepts of Agent0 is that we are very transparent about which tools are called and which results and data the agent was operating on. This makes the agents’ work explainable: the user can look at each step, use that information, and interact with the agent to create the best results in minutes, not hours or days.
The Seeker - Troubleshooting & Incident Triage
“No anomaly can hide. The Seeker traces every ripple in your system, hunts down root causes, and surfaces what others can’t see.”
The Seeker is your on-call troubleshooting wingman. It helps detect anomalies, pinpoint root causes, and guide incident investigations faster than ever.
The Oracle - PromQL Query Assistant
“The Oracle speaks the language of PromQL fluently. Ask, and it reveals the logic behind the query — with clarity and insight.”
The Oracle explains, translates, and improves PromQL queries so your team can move from guesswork to precision without needing to be query language experts.
The Pathfinder - Onboarding & Instrumentation Guide
“A trusted guide for every new journey. The Pathfinder leads your apps into the world of OpenTelemetry and Dash0 — step by step.”
The Pathfinder helps teams instrument applications, connect services, and adopt observability standards in minutes - not weeks.
The Threadweaver - Trace Analyst & Narrative Builder
"The Threadweaver connects every span like strands of fate — revealing how your system’s stories truly unfold."
The Threadweaver turns complex traces into clear cause-and-effect narratives. It identifies bottlenecks, latency loops, and hidden dependencies with storytelling precision — helping engineers see how incidents evolve across services and time.
The Artist - Dashboard & Alerting Builder
“The artist shapes data into vision. With steady hands, it designs dashboards and creates alert rules that bring order to the chaos.”
The Artists helps teams design dashboards, alerts, and views that bring clarity to the most complex systems.
Built by Engineers for Engineers
Agent0 is not a marketing gimmick. It works and we use it a lot ourselves, every day. It’s deeply integrated into Dash0’s observability pipeline and uses your telemetry in context to deliver real results:
- Native support for OpenTelemetry semantics and signals.
- Real-time context from your own telemetry data.
- Secure and transparent data handling.
- Modular design - we can keep adding more and enhance the existing agents over time.
- Unified experience with a centralized interaction interface but highly integrated into the existing UX.
For the first time the users can also create new functionality that we haven’t thought about. Recently a user asked Agent0 to show usage statistics of dashboards and got the correct answer. We haven’t even thought about this use case. We will monitor this to learn more about what our users are missing in the product and how they are using Agent0 to see where we can improve.
What’s Next
This is just the beginning. Over the coming months, we’ll expand the Agent0 platform with new specialized agents for error management, RUM, cloud cost optimization, security, and more.
We believe the future of observability is agentic - engineers work with intelligent systems that understand their environment, not against them.
We also believe that agents should not replace users, but support them. For example, helping them know whether they need to get up from the bed when paged at night. At the same time, we foresee agents automating more tasks and fixing some issues autonomously over time. We think of this as a journey together with our customers. Doing tasks autonomously in production requires a high trust from us and our customers, and that can only be established with feedback and a careful, evolutionary approach to introduce more agents and functionality over time.
Join the Agent0 Beta
Starting today, Agent0 is available to all Dash0 users and can be accessed directly from your Dash0 dashboard.
Existing customers already have Agent0 enabled in their workspace, free during the Beta phase.
