Cleric is a San Francisco, California based company specializing in AI-driven solutions for automated infrastructure management. The company recently announced that it has successfully secured $4.3 million in Seed funding.
The investment round was spearheaded by Zetta Venture Partners, with contributions from notable AI infrastructure angel investors, including key figures from Google Cloud, Sysdig, Tecton, and Neo4J.
The primary objective behind raising this capital is to bolster the company’s research and development endeavors across its San Francisco and Singapore branches. The focus will be on broadening its range of integrations and cultivating strategic alliances.
Founded by Shahram Anver and Willem Pienaar, Cleric is at the forefront of developing an autonomous AI site reliability engineer (SRE) companion, designed to alleviate engineering teams from the burden of on-call support duties. Operating round-the-clock, Cleric’s AI system adeptly navigates intricate infrastructure and observability frameworks, swiftly pinpointing the underlying cause of issues within minutes. It amalgamates diverse data sources such as code, documentation, and logs to furnish root cause analysis and suggest resolutions supported by evidence. Remarkably, the AI SRE teammate can handle thousands of alerts simultaneously and resolves issues within just five minutes, even in the most intricate cloud infrastructures.
Cleric maintains an operational presence in Singapore and is actively recruiting new talent.
Shahram Anver expressed his thoughts on the recent development, stating, “The problem-solving approach of our AI agent differs fundamentally from that of a human. Just as AI revolutionized strategies in games like Chess and Go, we anticipate a similar transformation in engineering operations with the introduction of AI teammates.”
