Last9 AI
Investigate production issues with Last9 AI across logs, metrics, traces, and alerts, in the dashboard, in Slack, and in your coding agent.
Last9 AI investigates production issues using your logs, metrics, traces, and alerts. Ask about a service and a time window, and it queries your telemetry, reports the evidence behind each finding, and links back to the underlying data in Last9.
It runs on Mithai, Last9’s open-source multiplayer agent harness for your organization. Mithai supplies the sessions, memory, skills, and chat adapters behind every surface, so a Slack thread holds one investigation that several engineers work in together. You can also run Mithai yourself for workflows that Last9 AI does not cover.
What Last9 AI does
- Investigates across signals. It follows an error from an exception to the failing trace and the correlated logs, and checks change events near the incident.
- Shows its evidence. Answers include links to the queries behind them, and they separate confirmed findings from possible causes.
- Works with your team. Several engineers investigate together in one Slack thread. An AI Assistant conversation is your own, and you can share it with a colleague to read. See Collaboration mode.
- Acts on what it finds. It can propose a dashboard for the signals you want to keep watching, and it asks for approval before saving a change.
- Reaches your code. Your coding agent can query the same telemetry through Last9 MCP while you work in the repository.
For the investigation method itself, refer to Investigate an incident with AI.
Where Last9 AI works
Last9 AI meets you where the work already happens. It runs in the Last9 dashboard, in the exception and dashboard panels you already open, in your Slack incident channel, and in your coding agent.
In Last9
AI Assistant
Investigate in a chat conversation and open the underlying data in the dashboard
Investigate an incident
Follow the method from the affected service to a verified cause and recovery
Analyze exceptions
Investigate a selected exception in its service and time window
Analyze dashboard data
Investigate a selected chart point or table row in its service context
Collaboration mode
Investigate with teammates and share AI Assistant conversations in your organization
Use AI in Slack
Investigate with your team in an incident thread
In your own tools
Plugins and agent skills
Add task-specific investigation instructions to your coding agent
Build your own AI SRE
Query Last9 telemetry from a bot or service you build and operate
Last9 MCP
Give your coding agent access to Last9 telemetry while you inspect code
Last9 MCP for AI agents
Connect an agent or service to Last9 MCP with bearer authentication
MCP supplies the tools that query Last9, and skills supply the instructions for using those tools. Your MCP client runs the agent and controls its tool permissions. The managed surfaces in the dashboard and Slack run the agent for you, although the available workflows differ between surfaces.
Enable Last9 AI
You need a Last9 account, AI access for your organization, and relevant telemetry flowing into Last9.
An organization admin can open AI Settings and manage Enable Last9 AI. The same page accepts your own model provider key, so your organization can run Last9 AI on an Anthropic or OpenAI key that it supplies and controls.
If the feature is unavailable in your organization, contact support@last9.io.
After you enable Last9 AI, an admin can give it context about your own systems. Register your remote MCP servers first, then add knowledge that binds their tools.
Remote MCP servers
Register a remote MCP server so Last9 AI can call your internal tools
Knowledge
Upload app runbooks and bind MCP tools for incident investigations
Privacy and security
AI investigations use your question, conversation context, and tool results to produce an answer. Tool results can contain telemetry such as log messages, span attributes, and exception details. Consider what your telemetry contains when enabling AI access or connecting an external agent.
For MCP, review the connected client’s model provider, data handling, and tool-approval settings. See MCP setup for authentication and agent integration for programmatic access.
Contact support@last9.io for organization-specific AI availability, model configuration, or data-handling requirements.
Troubleshooting
-
Last9 AI is unavailable in your organization
Ask an organization admin to check Enable Last9 AI in AI Settings, and to confirm that a model provider key is configured.
-
A surface behaves differently from another
Available workflows and tool permissions differ between surfaces. Check the page for the surface you are using before comparing results.
-
You need help with one surface
