## AI overview

Datadog Incident Response introduces three AI-powered capabilities: Bits Investigation acts as an active responder, AI generates summaries of active incidents in chat, and bridge discussions are captured in a unified incident timeline. Bits analyzes incident context such as telemetry, deployment history, chat discussions, and runbooks, then shares investigation updates, root-cause findings, and recommended next steps within existing workflows.
