Overview

Kestrel is the AI automation layer for platform engineering teams.

Platform teams use Kestrel to automate incident response, cloud provisioning, CI/CD, security, and developer requests across their stack.

Kestrel turns natural-language prompts into deterministic, production-ready workflows with 40+ integrations, 200+ pre-built actions, and support for custom HTTP and webhook actions.

Developer-first, with a CLI, Python SDK, and MCP server to manage workflows from where platform teams already work.
