Omni Agent War: Datadog

Bits ends outages. Your champions want it dead.

You made Bits AI the on-call engineer and billed per incident it fixes. Customers pay for outages ended, not machines watched.

Bits takes the pager at 400 companies and fixes 7 in 10 incidents before a human wakes. Host revenue starts to slide.

Head of Sales: HOLD IT! My reps sold to SREs for 15 years! Now we sell the thing that replaces them! Who signs the renewal?

The Fintech CTO: My SREs adore your dashboards, darling. They're boycotting your dog. And they sign my renewals.

Head of Reliability: Sales is loud and the SREs are scared. Both miss it: Bits only grades our own work, never the labs' agents.

  1. A. Hold the line. Bill per incident fixed. Two lean years. Lose some champions.
  2. B. Then Bits watches every lab's agent. Not just ours. Codex, Claude and Copilot, graded in production.
  3. C. Fine. Bits on credits. Hosts stay. Sales stops shouting. For a while.
