Cardinal UI

Cardinal UI is Cardinal’s AI agent for observability. It turns natural-language questions into plans, executes them against your telemetry and operational systems, and answers with real data — not guesses.

What it does

• Explore your observability data. Cardinal UI drives Cardinal Data Lake as a first-class data source. Ask about logs, metrics, services, or time ranges in plain English and Cardinal UI figures out which queries to run, runs them, and summarizes the result.
• Investigate incidents agentically. Cardinal UI plans multi-step investigations: pull recent errors, correlate with a deploy, check downstream dependencies, open a ticket. You watch the plan unfold rather than stringing the steps together yourself.
• Act on what it finds. With the right integrations connected, Cardinal UI can open GitHub PRs, file ServiceNow incidents, or notify Slack / Teams / PagerDuty.

How it works

Cardinal UI is built on Cardinal’s Orchestra planning engine. Every request goes through plan → execute → evaluate: it picks the right tools, executes them with retries and rate-limit handling, and evaluates the result before responding. Tools come from connected integrations exposed over the Model Context Protocol.
