Ramp up and recover fast with AI tools in Octopus
Diagnose issues and recover faster with the Recovery Agent
Deployment failures risk costly downtime and reputational damage. Finding the cause and recovering is often a high-pressure and time-consuming process. The Recovery Agent is an AI-powered feature in Octopus that helps DevOps and application engineers diagnose the root cause of deployment failures with a single click. The Recovery Agent also provides intelligent steps to speed up recovery, shortcut recovery logistics, and get you back up and running quickly.
Scale best practices and save time with the Octopus AI Assistant
The Octopus AI Assistant is a Chrome extension that answers your questions, bootstraps new projects, speeds up troubleshooting, and helps you optimize Octopus.
Create new projects in minutes with best practices baked in
The Octopus AI Assistant can set up projects and resources from simple prompts, letting new users get started quickly and improving time to value. Create complex Kubernetes projects with the right environments, settings, and permissions using GenAI commands. Combine our predefined project configurations with your organization-specific requirements for a fully functioning project created in minutes, not hours.
Save time and money by optimizing storage and performance
The best practices adviser gives you recommendations based on your Octopus deployment logs and our strong opinions about best practices. It can check your spaces for duplicated project variables and suggest tenant tags to make your Octopus instance easier to manage and maintain. Make small improvements that let your teams deliver software faster and more reliably.
Spend less time on support and more time shipping features
Custom prompts let you tailor the Octopus AI Assistant to your organization’s needs and processes. You can embed your internal documentation, troubleshooting procedures, and domain-specific guidance directly into the assistant’s responses. This reduces the support burden by providing context-aware, automated first-line support.
Resolve issues faster and get back to delivering software
The Octopus AI Assistant intelligently analyzes failed deployments and provides recommendations based on previous successful and failed deployments. Get suggestions to resolve failed deployments with a simple prompt for quicker and easier troubleshooting. You can also configure unique business process rules, like creating a support ticket for the responsible project team.
Enable powerful, secure workflows with the MCP Server
The Octopus MCP Server connects to the AI agents and AI assistants you already use and lets them interact directly with Octopus. It gives you powerful tools to securely inspect and query your Octopus instance to help with change management, troubleshooting, administration, auditing, and compliance. By chaining the Octopus MCP with other MCP servers, you can use a single AI tool across your systems and services and remove context-switching.
An award-winning AI tool
The Octopus AI Assistant was the winner of the 2025 DevOps Dozen Award for Best Application of Generative AI in a DevOps Tool/Platform.
