What is Kubiya?
Kubiya is an on-demand agentic engineering organization, an AI-powered system that turns business KPIs into executable engineering outcomes. It functions as a conversational AI-powered internal developer platform (DevOps ChatGPT) that enables engineering teams to consume DevOps services simply by conversing with their personal AI assistant, Kubi. The platform builds a living map of tribal knowledge by ingesting context from Slack threads, documentation, and code to understand how systems actually work, then translates natural language requests into structured, deterministic workflows.
Key features include 100% deterministic execution with no hallucinations, enterprise-grade security with RBAC and audit logs, a Context Graph that maintains real-time infrastructure mapping, and a Task Kanban for tracking agent work like JIRA tasks. The platform supports multi-model orchestration with 100+ LLM providers, framework-agnostic execution supporting Agno, Claude Code, and custom runtimes, and MicroVM technology for isolated container execution. It integrates with Kubernetes, cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), monitoring tools, databases, Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Slack.
Kubiya is designed for enterprise engineering teams, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, and engineering leadership who need production-ready AI automation with strict security and compliance requirements. It serves organizations like Microsoft, Ford, Volkswagen, Atlassian, and A&E Networks that requireSOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA compliance and want to measure ROI on automation investments.
The platform provides a Virtual Team structure (MGR, Dev, Sec, Ops), approval gates for human control points, durable cloud runtime execution, secure knowledge indexing, and real-time engineering boards. It supports both hosted and self-hosted deployments, including air-gapped environments, with zero vendor lock-in allowing customers to bring their own containers, registrics, and cloud providers.

Yes, Kubiya works with any agent framework or custom code. Simply connect your existing agents and add deterministic execution, context awareness, and enterprise controls without changing a single line of code. It supports multiple runtimes including Agno, Claude Code, and custom solutions through its framework-agnostic execution.
What makes Kubiya different from other AI platforms?
Kubiya is the only platform that guarantees deterministic execution with full context awareness. While others focus on building agents, Kubiya focuses on making any agent production-ready with zero vendor lock-in and zero trust security. It combines AI understanding with deterministic, containerized execution.
Is there vendor lock-in with Kubiya?
Absolutely not. Kubiya is designed with zero lock-in. Use your own containers, registries, cloud providers, and tools. Run on their serverless infrastructure or deploy on your own. You maintain complete control over your infrastructure and AI infrastructure.
How does Kubiya understand my infrastructure?
Kubiya maintains a real-time context graph of your entire infrastructure - from code repositories to cloud resources to API states. It builds a living map of tribal knowledge by ingesting context from Slack threads, docs, and code, enabling agents to make informed decisions based on actual system state.
What happens if I exceed my yearly AEH allocation?
Kubiya will notify you when you're approaching your limit. You can purchase additional AEH packages or upgrade to a higher tier. Your agents will continue to work without interruption, ensuring no downtime in your automation workflows.
