# Hyground > Hyground is a sovereign AI SRE agent for enterprise incident resolution. It runs entirely inside customer infrastructure, correlates Kubernetes, observability and CI/CD data to produce evidence-backed root cause analysis, and automates the repeatable operations work engineers run manually.

AI agent demos assume the opposite. Hyground 2.0 closes that gap with one IT operations agent across your entire landscape: 20,000+ workloads, 40+ clusters, and hundreds of connections into observability stacks, databases, cloud accounts, and ticket systems, all in one conversation. A thin outpost per environment keeps credentials local, access stays read-only by default, and no data leaves your infrastructure. Plus: why we built a multi-agent system first, and why we tore it out. - [Are AI SRE Agents Useful or Just Hype?](https://hyground.ai/blog/are-ai-sre-agents-useful-or-just-hype): AI SRE agents are simultaneously overhyped and genuinely valuable: an agent that runs its own investigation and links every finding to checkable evidence is useful, while a tool that just summarizes the dashboards you already had is hype. Here is how to tell them apart before you buy, with Gartner and SRE Report evidence for both sides. - [Top 10 AI ops platforms in 2026](https://hyground.ai/blog/top-10-ai-ops-platforms-2026): A practical comparison of the top 10 AI ops platforms in 2026, from autonomous SRE agents to AIOps incumbents.
