# OneGrep

> OneGrep (YC W24) is a New York-based developer-tools startup building AI agent infrastructure for DevOps. It began as a DevOps copilot that fine-tuned models on real-time telemetry to help engineers resolve incidents faster and cut observability costs, and has since expanded into tooling that lets AI agents discover, correlate, and safely operate the many SaaS and MCP-based tools engineering teams rely on. Founded by ex-Disney, Amazon, and Coinbase engineers Achintya Ashok and Brian Cripe, it went through Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch.

## Products & services

- **OneGrep DevOps Agent** — An AI agent that automates manual DevOps tasks - investigating incidents automatically (even off-hours), correlating telemetry, and running interactive runbooks across the tools a team already uses.
- **Telemetry / Observability Optimization** — AI-driven filtering of logs, metrics, and traces before they reach observability platforms, aimed at cutting observability spend while preserving the signal needed to diagnose incidents.
- **OneGrep SDK & MCP Gateway (mcp-express)** — TypeScript SDK and a Gateway MCP Server that let agents author 'Toolprints' and discover/operate tools that follow the Model Context Protocol, with a CLI explorer to find tools by natural-language goals.
