System Initiative, the best way to automate infrastructure with AI, is debuting its AI Native infrastructure automation platform designed to dramatically enhance engineering productivity. Through the power of AI agents, engineering teams better and more comprehensively understand their infrastructures while also being able to propose and safely execute validated changes, instantly, through natural language prompts.
At its core, the System Initiative platform pairs high-fidelity digital twins of live infrastructure with AI agents that know how to work inside it, allowing engineers to dictate the outcome they want, the agents determine the workflow, simulate it safely, and execute the action with the engineer’s approval. This 1:1 modeled digital twin maps every relationship between every source, where all changes are proposed within an always up-to-date, integrated change set that incorporates enterprise security and compliance policy.
The result: An environment of AI agents that act as engineering teammates, capable of understanding complex architectures, safely initiating proposed changes, ensuring plans are transparent, and requesting approval before execution—or fully autonomously.
“This is just the beginning of the AI Native era for Infrastructure Automation,” said System Initiative CEO and co-founder, Adam Jacob. “The System Initiative team has been at the forefront of Infrastructure Automation for more than 20 years. Working in an AI-first way transforms how engineers approach infrastructure automation—it opens up an entirely new horizon of possibilities. They’ll be more productive, certainly, but they’ll also be able to tackle problems that were simply intractably complex last week, but are straightforward this week. We can’t wait to see what people build with it.”
“System Initiative unlocked a new level of productivity for our teams,” said Ryan Ryke, CEO of Cloud Life Consulting. “As an MSP and AWS Partner, we are always looking for the best way to gain clarity about our customers' environments and quickly gain control over how they evolve and change in the service of their goals. Our day now starts and ends working with AI in System Initiative to deliver better solutions faster for our customers. It has transformed our business.”
Providing enhanced clarity about infrastructure complexities while unlocking new, intricate integration scenarios with the simplicity of natural language, System Initiative's platform enables:
- Robust understanding of existing infrastructure delivered by a complete, real-time map of resources and relationships, explorable with AI to better comprehend architecture, cost, and risk
- Safe change execution with AI agents that craft validated change sets against a 1:1 digital twin; nothing touches production without human approval
- A collaborative AI partner that democratizes infrastructure automation to every engineer
- Built-in policy checks and tests to ensure every change meets your organization’s unique compliance and operational requirements
- Works with existing tools and environments, featuring integrations with Terraform, Pulumi, GitOps, or any current workflow
“AI is unlocking the next level of automation in DevOps engineering,” said Patrick Debois, author of The DevOps Handbook. “With its digital twins of production systems, System Initiative enables infrastructure changes that are faster, safer, and more reliable. Custom guardrail functions and change sets ensure trust by addressing the AI-generated challenges common to AI Infrastructure-as-Code, so engineers can confidently delegate the toil to AI Agents and focus on higher-value work.”
“System Initiative makes AI a genuine partner in infrastructure management, not just another black box,” said Paul Nashawaty, AppDev practice lead at theCUBE Research. “According to our findings, 65% of enterprises cite complexity as one of the top three challenges in managing their cloud infrastructure, while 72% highlight a lack of real-time cost visibility as critical yet lacking, a combination that effectively hampers automation adoption. System Initiative’s human-in-the-loop model directly confronts these obstacles: engineers collaborate with AI agents that analyze, propose, and execute changes safely, all under human oversight. With secure-by-default policies, this framework doesn’t just lower adoption friction—it turns infrastructure management from a bottleneck into a strategic advantage.”
