Handle On-Call Incident Response From Your Phone With ARI Mobile

ARI Mobile is InsightFinder’s operational AI agent for iOS and Android, built for on-call incident response from a phone. It triages the alert, pinpoints root cause, recommends a fix, and acts on your approval. ARI runs the investigation before you open the app, so your first move is informed.

Key Takeaways

  • ARI, InsightFinder’s operational AI agent, now runs on iOS and Android, putting the full triage-to-remediation agent in your pocket.
  • You get the complete agent, with the same analytical depth on a phone that you rely on at your desk.
  • Before you open the app after a page, ARI has already run the investigation and hands you a structured incident briefing.
  • From one chat conversation, you can approve a rollback, restart a wedged pod, mute a noisy alert, or open a Jira ticket.
  • The app runs on InsightFinder’s patented reliability platform for incident prediction and automated preventive action.
  • After you contain an incident, you can hand it back to ARI to keep monitoring while you step away.
  • ARI is free for every active InsightFinder customer, with no per-seat charge and no extra tier to unlock.

Paged Away From Your Desk

The page fires while you’re at dinner or asleep. Something in production is breaking, and the clock starts before you’ve even found a screen.

The old routine costs you the first, most expensive minutes. You hunt for a laptop, connect through a VPN, open a stack of dashboards, and piece the story together while the blast radius grows.

ARI Mobile removes that scramble. You pull out your phone, and the investigation is already waiting.

How ARI Mobile Speeds On-Call Incident Response

On-call incident response used to start from zero on a small screen. Now it starts from a briefing, because ARI has already done the analysis by the time you open the app.

That briefing is structured so your first action counts. It gives you the incident summary, the causal chain of anomalies, and a timeline of related signals. It also flags severity and customer impact, plus a prediction of where the incident is headed next.

From there you ask follow-up questions in plain language. You might ask, “What changed in the last hour?” or “Show me the timeline.” ARI goes deeper on request. It surfaces logs, metrics, traces, deploys, and runbooks inline, so you never leave the conversation to switch tabs.

Then you act from that same chat. You can approve a rollback, restart a wedged pod, mute a noisy alert, create a Jira ticket, or escalate to a teammate. Each of those is a real fix you trigger straight from the phone. You can learn more about ARI and how it connects analysis to action.

 

The Full Agent, Now In Your Pocket

ARI Mobile ships the complete agent. You get the same analytical depth on your phone that you rely on at your desk, so a 3 a.m. investigation loses nothing to screen size.

That depth comes from InsightFinder’s patented reliability platform. The platform predicts incidents before customers feel them, then runs automatic root-cause analysis to drive preventive action across your stack. The app is that engine with a mobile front door.

Handing Incidents Back To ARI

Containing an incident doesn’t mean babysitting it for the next hour. Once the blast radius is under control, you hand the incident back to ARI and let it keep monitoring while you step away.

ARI watches the recovery. It pages you again only if the situation turns, so your on-call shift stops feeling like a stakeout.
