I’m thrilled to announce the general availability of Observo Orion, the industry’s first Agentic AI Data Engineer. This launch represents more than just a new product — it’s a fundamental shift in how organizations will manage their security and observability data pipelines.

For years, I’ve watched organizations struggle with data engineering challenges. It’s been a highly specialized discipline, requiring deep technical expertise and significant manual effort. As security and observability data continues to grow, traditional approaches simply can’t keep up. This is why we created Orion—to eliminate these barriers and make expert-level data engineering accessible to teams of all skill levels. 

Why We Built Orion

The rise of AI-driven telemetry and rapidly growing data volumes demand a new approach to data pipeline management. We saw firsthand how legacy rules-based methods were too rigid—requiring constant tuning, extensive manual intervention, and expert oversight. Orion removes these bottlenecks by offering an intuitive, AI-driven experience that enables teams to build, optimize, and manage pipelines using simple English commands.

With Orion, your teams can:

• Create pipelines effortlessly – Simply describe what you need in everyday language, and Orion generates a fully functional data pipeline. No coding or complex configuration is required.
• Optimize continuously – Orion proactively suggests improvements based on evolving data patterns, ensuring peak efficiency without manual tuning.
• Manage pipelines interactively – Make real-time adjustments through conversational commands, eliminating the need for rigid workflows.
• Search and analyze intelligently – Extract insights instantly with simple, everyday English, without needing to master complex query languages.

Transforming Security and DevOps Teams

I’ve spent countless hours with security and DevOps teams are under immense pressure to process massive amounts of data efficiently without breaking budgets or sacrificing visibility into their environments. Orion transforms how these teams work by automating complex data engineering tasks, reducing operational overhead, and ensuring that organizations can focus on what truly matters—protecting and optimizing their environments.

More Than an Assistant—A True AI Data Engineer

Unlike traditional AI assistants, we built Orion to be an intelligent partner. It doesn’t just give you a long list of steps to achieve your goals—it continuously learns from your data flows, suggests optimizations, executes changes to your pipelines, and provides proactive recommendations. We’ve leveraged our deep expertise in data pipeline optimization to create a solution that tables the data sprawl and cost explosion that enterprises struggle with daily.

The Technology Behind Orion

As an engineer at heart, I’m particularly excited about the technology powering Orion. We believe 2025 is the year of AI agents, and we’ve built Orion with this vision in mind. It’s powered by a network of large language models (LLMs) that have access to various tools and functions, bridging the gap between language and action. Using the classic ReACT framework, agents understand your intent and thoughtfully perform actions on your behalf. 

This isn’t just one LLM, but multiple machine learning models working in harmony. For example, a lightweight pre-trained model can securely scan your logs, detect PII data and raise alerts. A data engineer can then review the alert and direct Orion to apply PII masking to the relevant pipeline. This streamlines the entire process, making sophisticated data pipeline management accessible to everyone. 

Looking Ahead

Orion represents just the beginning of our vision for AI-powered data pipeline management. We’re committed to continuing innovation in this space, helping organizations tackle their most pressing security and observability challenges.

Orion is now generally available to all Observo AI customers. If you’re ready to experience the future of AI-powered data pipeline management, I invite you to schedule a demo with me today and see how Orion can revolutionize your security and observability workflows.
