About this episode

In this episode of Grafana’s Big Tent, host Tom Wilkie is joined by Spiros Xanthos (Founder & CEO, Resolve AI), Manoj Acharya (VP of Engineering at Grafana Labs), and Cyril Tovena (Principal Software Engineer, Grafana Assistant team) to explore the rapidly evolving world of agentic AI in production systems. They dig into automated root cause analysis, knowledge graphs, and how AI agents are beginning to operate alongside — and sometimes ahead of — human engineers. The conversation tackles trust, pricing models, data privacy, and whether we’re approaching a future where incidents resolve themselves. Plus: Tesla autopilot analogies, AI-written performance reviews, and what’s next beyond observability.
