Autopilot 2.4

September 24, 2026

New features

  • Deeper root cause analysis when you're paged: Autopilot can now help trace an alert back to the code change behind it from more entry points, including incident and Slack-triggered investigations, so you can pinpoint the issue without digging through the entire deployment history.
  • See the full data, not just the chart: Tool results now show the underlying data alongside a visualization, so you can more easily verify what Autopilot based its answer on.
  • Spot intermittent spikes, not just averages: Metric analysis now surfaces percentile detail and trend history, making a brief spike easier to catch than it would be from an average alone.
  • Ask about a full month of alerts in one request: The alert lookback window for entity-scoped queries has been widened from 7 to 30 days, and an oversized request now gets automatically scaled back instead of rejected outright.
  • Jump straight into your session: Responses now include direct session links for browser and mobile, so you can pick up where Autopilot left off without hunting for it.

Improvements and enhancements

preview

We're still working on this feature, but we'd love for you to try it out!

This feature is currently provided as part of a preview program pursuant to our pre-release policies.

GitHub MCP Integration Capability Updates (Public Preview)

Autopilot's GitHub integration now ties active alerts more directly to your deployment and release history, so you can triage without switching between tools.

  • See in-flight fixes before duplicating the work: During alert triage, Autopilot now checks GitHub for open pull requests already targeting the affected service, so you can see whether a hotfix or related fix is already underway before starting your own.
  • Spot version drift the moment an alert fires: Autopilot now compares the release actually deployed against the version that was running when the incident started, surfacing recent rollouts or unverified deployments that may be contributing to the issue.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed queries that could fail when counting unique values: Questions that required counting something unique — like how many distinct users hit a specific error — could cause Autopilot to build an invalid NRQL query and fail to respond. Autopilot is now guided to better handle this, making these questions less likely to error out.
  • Fewer rejected error-analysis responses: Fixed an issue where asking for a detailed error breakdown could get rejected for being too large to deliver.
  • Fewer timeouts analyzing high-volume logs: Increased the time allotted for log analysis so accounts with large log volumes are less likely to time out.
  • Cancel to stop the run: Canceling an investigation from the chat panel now stops it running on the backend.
  • Faster, cleaner chat panel load: The chat panel now loads Ask AI and Autopilot first instead of waiting on your full agent list, and no longer shows either one twice in the agent dropdown.
  • More consistent knowledge-base grounding: Fast, direct-answer responses and alert-triage investigations now draw more consistently on your knowledge base before answering.
  • More accurate deployment status in GitHub investigations: Better reporting of service release status.
  • Clearer guidance when Autopilot can't find an answer: Replaced a generic "something went wrong" message with more helpful guidance to try rephrasing your question.
  • Corrected a misleading connection error: A login-related redirect was being reported as an expired connection; it's now identified correctly.
