CloudBees announced the launch of the Unify AI Design Partner (AIDP) program.

The AIDP is grounded in three core principles:

- Tailored Context: AI that understands each environment

- Developer-Centric AI: Technology that cuts toil and boosts velocity

- Trusted Path to Agentic Delivery: Autonomy with accountability and security built in.

Throughout the 90-day program, partners work directly with CloudBees’ product and engineering teams to influence the Unify roadmap and gain hands-on access to the tools and insights driving autonomous DevOps forward, gaining early access to new Unify capabilities, starting with this first alpha release:

- AI First Responder: An AI agent that manages incident detection, automatic triage, and severity assessment and response, accelerating recovery through real-time alerts, containment, and response planning across the SDLC.

This new capability brings context-aware intelligence to software delivery. Every insight is captured within Unify's context plane (spanning code to pipeline to policy), ensuring each action is logged, explainable and compliant. Program participants emerge with tangible outcomes essential to providing organizations with the confidence to scale AI safely and securely: end-to-end triage visibility across fragmented SDLC tooling, and faster MTTR (mean time to recovery). These lay the foundation for measurable proof and governed agentic actions in the future.

“Enterprises want the power of AI without sacrificing trust, control or choice. Through the Unify AI Design Partnership, we’re partnering directly with engineering innovators to build AI that understands their environments, respects their guardrails, and measurably improves software delivery,” said Jason Burt, AI Product Lead at CloudBees. “With early access to Unify’s AI First Responder, our partners are helping us shape a future of autonomous DevOps that is safe, compliant and aligned to how real teams work.”
