What it does

Meets responders where the alert lands. When PagerDuty opens an incident, it uses the alert title, service, and summary as the query, retrieves matching runbook sections from the vector index, and asks the model to assemble a concise, grounded set of first-response steps with a citation under each step.

When to use it

Use it to cut time-to-first-action during incidents by surfacing the relevant runbook procedure automatically, so the on-call engineer isn't searching the wiki while paged at 3 a.m.

How it works

  1. 1A PagerDuty incident-triggered event starts the flow.
  2. 2The alert fields are combined into a retrieval query and embedded with OpenAI.
  3. 3The top runbook sections are pulled from Postgres pgvector with their Confluence anchors.
  4. 4A confidence branch decides whether enough relevant material exists to suggest steps.
  5. 5OpenAI drafts grounded steps citing each source section, and the suggestion is posted as a note on the PagerDuty incident.
