Kubiya.ai - Company Overview

What is Kubiya.ai?

Kubiya.ai is an AI-powered agentic engineering platform that creates autonomous AI teammates capable of planning, building, operating, and measuring engineering outcomes. Purpose-built for DevOps and platform engineering workflows.

Core Philosophy: "Stop Automating, Start Delegating" -- shifting from brittle, script-based automation to intent-driven delegation to AI agents.

Founding

• Founded: May 2022
• HQ: San Jose, CA (also Tel Aviv, Israel)

Problem They Solve

The "Time-to-Automate Paradox": the more teams try to automate, the more they entrench themselves in brittle, decaying systems plagued by YAML sprawl, manual reviews, scattered permissions, and tribal knowledge silos.

Specific pain points:

• Developers waiting on platform/DevOps teams for environment provisioning, deployments, and access requests
• Tribal knowledge locked in individuals' heads or scattered across Slack threads
• Constant upkeep of CI/CD pipelines, scripts, and automation tooling
• Internal developer platforms that are incomplete and require manual intervention
• Context switching across multiple tools (Terraform, Kubernetes, Jira, GitHub, cloud consoles)

Target Customers

• Platform Engineering teams building internal developer platforms
• DevOps/SRE teams managing infrastructure and operations
• Security & Compliance teams needing audit trails, RBAC, and policy enforcement
• Engineering leadership seeking to consolidate tooling and measure ROI
