Resolve AI presents six production pillars for agentic software maintenance and incident response

“engineers, we spend 70% of our time doing something else: not creating new software, but working with productive systems—running and fixing programs”

Resolve AI engineer Varun Krovvidi argues that while AI has excelled at code generation (single-domain, modular, self-documenting), the harder unsolved problem is the 70% of engineering time spent operating and repairing production systems. The talk outlines a six-pillar framework for agentic harnesses designed for software maintenance and incident response, drawing on real production experience. Relevant for teams evaluating AI for DevOps and SRE automation, though the core framework content is cut off mid-presentation.
