Team AI Agent Integration with Better Stack

Better Stack is a leading platform for engineering teams seeking robust observability, incident management, and smooth uptime monitoring. But even with its rich toolset, teams often struggle with alert fatigue, information silos, and inefficient manual workflows. By integrating Better Stack with Runbear's powerful AI agent platform, teams can unlock a new level of automation, real-time insights, and collaborative incident response—right where communication happens.

About Better Stack

Better Stack is an AI-native observability and incident management platform tailored for modern engineering teams. It combines tracing, log management, uptime monitoring, and incident response in a single, intuitive interface. With advanced tools like visualized root cause analysis, eBPF-powered service maps, anomaly detection, and branded status pages, Better Stack empowers teams to keep complex systems running smoothly. Teams typically adopt Better Stack to centralize monitoring, reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR), and streamline out-of-the-box alerting and collaboration across popular services like AWS, Datadog, and Slack. Its competitive pricing, deep integrations, and self-serve onboarding make it a compelling choice for organizations of any size seeking to modernize their operational stack.

Use Cases in Practice

When teams combine the breadth of Better Stack observability with Runbear's AI agent, workflows become dramatically more streamlined and proactive. Imagine your team's daily standup channel in Slack lighting up each morning with clear, actionable summaries of all recent incidents—delivered automatically and updated in real time. With a single natural language question like "What caused last night's downtime?", any team member can summon a concise root cause analysis, sourced from Better Stack logs and incidents, straight into the chat. Your AI agent doesn't just wait for requests: it proactively analyzes log trends, flags anomalies, and renders uptime reports as easy-to-understand charts everyone can discuss in the open. This removes the barriers of siloed dashboards and scattered emails, letting teams make smarter decisions, act faster, and stay aligned. For example, during a high-severity alert, Runbear can surface incident details and recommended next steps, similar to how our AI-powered executive dashboard revolutionizes leadership decision-making. Cross-functional teams—from DevOps to business leads—can get the data they need, when and where they need it, using nothing but natural language and collaborative AI agents.

Better Stack vs Better Stack + AI Agent: Key Differences

Integrating Better Stack with Runbear transforms your team's incident management from manual, reactive workflows into proactive, AI-powered collaboration. Instead of dashboard silos and scattered alerts, your team receives relevant summaries, analytics, and explanations right inside Slack or Teams—triggered by schedule, keywords, or natural language requests. This reduces context switching, shortens response times, and lets every team member access Better Stack data instantly through conversation.

Implementation Considerations

When adopting the Runbear + Better Stack integration, teams should consider several practical aspects. Initial setup requires appropriate permissions to connect both platforms—admins must ensure that Runbear's AI agent can access relevant Better Stack APIs and necessary Slack or Teams channels. While no-code for users, admins should prepare for configuration, mapping which types of data or alerts to expose to the AI agent. Team training will help ensure every member knows how to interact with the AI agent to retrieve Better Stack analytics, request reports, or trigger summaries. Change management is vital, as teams may initially default to legacy, manual workflows. Evaluate security, data governance policies, and access controls to ensure sensitive incident data is handled appropriately in shared channels. Finally, perform a cost-benefit review—while the integration often leads to significant productivity gains, factor in licensing, onboarding time, and any necessary process adjustments to realize full value.
