### The World's First AI SRE

We’re the world's first AI SRE. Parity is the first line of defense for on-call engineers working with Kubernetes - it autonomously triages, root causes, and heals your cloud infrastructure.



Parity

Founded:2024

Team Size:3

Location:San Francisco

### Active Founders

### Wilson Spearman, Founder

Wilson is co-founder and CEO of Parity. Before Parity, Wilson was a SWE working on building the climate-aligned cloud at Crusoe. Prior to that, he worked at Settle as a product engineer building new purchase order and AP workflows for CPG brands. Wilson studied CS at MIT with focus on systems. He's originally from upstate South Carolina.



### Coleman Smith, Founder

Co-founder and CPO of Parity. Worked as a software engineer at Crusoe on the Power and Mining team focused on capturing stranded energy and reducing carbon emissions. Studied CS at Stanford, with an undergrad focus on Systems and a coterm in the AI subtrack.



### Jeffrey Tsaw, Founder

Jeffrey is co-founder and CTO of Parity. Previously, Jeffrey worked as a Software Engineer at Crusoe, where he helped run the Bitcoin mining team alongside Coleman and Wilson. He studied ECE at CMU where he received his BS and MS, and is originally from Hong Kong.



### Company Launches

[### Parity - The World's First AI SRE](

### TLDR:

*   [**Parity**]( is **the World's First AI SRE**
*   Parity is the first line of defense for on-call engineers working with Kubernetes - it triages alerts and inspects your cluster to determine root cause
*   Integration with your cloud is simple and secure.

### The Problem - **On-call Sucks!** 🚨

Chances are **you or someone you know has had a terrible on-call experience**. 2am pings on the weekends. A week of lugging your laptop around to the gym, your best friend’s birthday party, etc. Engineers often write off the week knowing that they’ll make 0 progress on their actual work and instead spend it deep in k8s hell.

### The Solution - **Parity!** 🦾

Parity integrates with your alerting solution (e.g., PagerDuty, Datadog) to act as a new first line of defense for your k8s cluster. **Before you’ve opened your laptop, Parity has already conducted an investigation** to triage, determine root cause, and suggest a remediation.

If you have runbooks, add them to Parity, connect them to your existing alerts, and Parity will follow them just like you would. _Don’t have runbooks yet?_ No problem - given an alert or a prompt like “there were latency spikes in X service today from 1-3pm”, Parity will open an investigation, gather information from your cluster, and test several hypotheses to determine the root cause.



Parity also has a **Chat with Your Cluster feature**. This allows Devs and SREs to quickly check the status and configuration of their cluster with natural language instead of having to find the right `kubectl` command and digging through CLI outputs and yaml files.



We **currently integrate with Kubernetes (via AWS or GCP), Datadog, and PagerDuty,** with more integrations coming soon! If there’s an integration you’d like to see, just let us know.
