| RadiantOps solves AI adoption for software teams. RadiantOps surfaces the work worthy of an engineering leader's attention, names what changed and who understood it, and compares it with the team's own history. Engineering leaders see whether agents are making their teams faster, what that is doing to quality, and what it costs, across every coding agent in the organization. Those answers justify a renewal, a headcount plan, or an AI budget. Every answer threads back to ground truth. RadiantOps reads the commits, reviews, tickets and agent runs a team already produces (GitHub, Jira, Slack, and the coding agents themselves, including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Codex) and ties them to the work they belong to. We surface the change, attach the evidence, and leave the verdict with the people who know the terrain. | $7M / Seed / Sep 16, 2026 | ||
