Introducing our AI-powered assistant — Sidekick✨
Today’s update marks a new chapter in our continued efforts of making your everyday operations a lot more simpler and organised.
What is Sidekick?
Sidekick is our new AI assistant powered by OpenAI’s GPT 4 large language models. Designed to simplify the way you handle alerting and incident management in your everyday operations. It understands your use-cases, and operational issues to instantly generate and recommend industry standard alerts and playbooks along with sample SQL queries so that you and your teams can save those trips to your data teams.
Alerting and Monitoring made simple
Engineering teams are often burdened with maintaining a large number of cron jobs to fulfil requests from multiple teams. With Sidekick, anyone in your team can now monitor any KPIs or operations issues in no time.

Simply describe your problem, use case and industry and Sidekick will recommend building alerting templates that anyone can set up with just a few clicks.
Sidekick ensures your team is never caught off guard.
Tailored Playbooks and SOPs
We understand every incident is unique and requires a tailored response which in most cases only a human can provide. Not anymore.
Sidekick learns from your descriptions and automatically generates personalised incident response playbooks with best practices tailed to your industry.

Sidekick also generates actionable incident titles so that your incident notifications are consistent across all your alerting channels.
Write SQL queries as you talk
Gone are the days of those frequent trips to data teams. With Sidekick, anyone can write SQL queries in plain English.
Simply describe your industry, problem and use case to get started with writing SQL queries even if you have never written one before.

You need your data teams only once to integrate your data sources with Locale. Here’s a detailed article on how you connect your data sources.
The way ahead
Sidekick is not just another gimmicky OpenAI integration; It's designed with one clear objective: to be your personal assistant, your "sidekick" in managing everyday operations.
With Sidekick in charge, you can:
- Say goodbye to cronjobs.
- Set up monitors on your existing business operations without any engineering/data bandwidth.
