Kubiya, an Israeli startup that offers a Conversational AI solution for DevOps teams, raised $6 million in a Seed round led by Hyperwise Ventures alongside investors Pierre Lamond, Giora Yaron, and others. Kubiya said that the funding will allow the company to expand its go-to-market strategy, further extend its offering and ultimately redefine DevOps processes in businesses of all sizes.

“Facilitating self-service capabilities across businesses’ functions relieves the immense burden DevOps teams face when dealing with day-to-day demands, powering the wider workforce to solve issues independent of technical expertise.”

Founded in 2004 by CEO Amit Eyal Govrin and CTO Shaked Askayo, Kubiya UX specializes in UX / UI and Software Development. The company provides customers with an end-to-end service, handling all the phases from research to final implementation.

Kubiya explains that with 64% of IT leaders struggling to find skilled DevOps practitioners, the existing operators often find themselves overstretched to meet ever-increasing business demands. Everyday tasks such as providing access to databases and storage buckets, looking into service logs and metrics or answering urgent financial questions such as the cost of a customer environment, can remain stuck in a virtual queue, stalling productivity, and causing backlogs that impact bottom lines.

Kubiya boasts that its Conversational AI empowers organizational users with a self-service option, allowing them to express their intent in natural language and have the virtual assistant take appropriate action by automating simple and tedious tasks. Kubiya’s solution can draw upon data from multiple sources, contextualizing each user inquiry to achieve fast, comprehensive results, and freeing up DevOps teams for more complex assignments that require a human response – boosting productivity across the board.

“Business workforces don’t know what they don’t know which is an impediment for a true self-service culture. This forces DevOps to remain involved at all times to manage the process and lend assistance. Facilitating a natural language interaction between humans and machines and converting their intent into actions effectively removes the dependency on the operator in the loop,” said Amit Eyal Govrin, CEO and Co-Founder of Kubiya. “Kubiya’s unique approach is poised to change how companies hire, train, staff and operate – especially as we move into the next generation of remote-first-workforces – we are quite literally refactoring the unit economics of DevOps.”
