System Initiative today unveiled what it claims is the world’s first AI-native infrastructure automation platform, enabling DevOps teams to collaborate with autonomous agents that understand, propose, and execute infrastructure changes through high-fidelity digital twins.

The platform addresses a critical enterprise bottleneck: according to theCUBE Research, 65% of organizations cite complexity as a top-three challenge in cloud infrastructure management, while 72% lack real-time cost visibility—constraints that effectively block automation adoption at scale. System Initiative’s approach moves beyond traditional Infrastructure-as-Code tools by pairing AI agents with complete digital replicas of production environments, enabling natural language interaction with infrastructure that can safely execute validated changes.

SRE.ai secured $7.2 million in seed funding led by Salesforce Ventures to deploy AI agents that autonomously manage enterprise software deployment workflows, addressing the bottleneck where teams spend weeks stitching together testing environments and debugging deployment pipelines across multiple cloud platforms.

The funding validates a critical enterprise infrastructure challenge: while AI has transformed how code is written, the deployment and operations side remains largely manual, creating delays that can stretch simple releases into multi-week ordeals involving multiple teams, complex toolchains, and fragmented monitoring across AWS, Google Cloud, and enterprise SaaS platforms.
