New Relic AI is a generative assistant built into the New Relic observability platform that lets people ask questions about their systems in everyday language. It translates plain-language requests into NRQL queries, explains what query results mean, interprets stack traces and error logs, summarizes recent performance issues and explains dashboards, in more than 50 languages. It can also help instrument systems, produce health reports and find gaps in alert coverage. New Relic itself has a perpetual free tier with 100 GB of monthly data ingest, and ingest beyond that costs $0.40 per GB.
Developers and QA engineers use it to analyze error logs and trace problems down to the line of code in their IDE, while DevOps engineers use it to see how a recent deployment changed system health. Product managers look for ways to improve end-user experience, support teams quickly gather context on anomalies, and executives can ask for a summary of how a launch is going. Because users do not have to write queries by hand, it lowers the barrier for people who are new to a system or to NRQL.
Typical scenarios include asking whether an application stopped sending data, requesting an explanation of what Apdex means, or rewriting a query to include more error types. A newcomer on call can ask where to start triage after a change, an engineer can ask for help integrating with AWS, and a team lead can request an executive summary of query results or have a dashboard explained in Spanish. It sits on a unified telemetry database with more than 50 capabilities, which gives answers context from logs, traces and metrics.
