Kestrel is trying to give platform teams a third option between gatekeeping developers and handing them the cloud keys.

## What it does

Kestrel describes itself as an AI automation layer for platform engineering. The [YC profile](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/kestrel-ai) names incident response, cloud provisioning, CI/CD, security, and developer requests.

The current [homepage](https://usekestrel.ai/) turns plain language into editable workflows. Teams can refine them visually or in code, add integrations, require approvals, and execute deterministic workflows. The docs describe triggers from Kubernetes, AWS, Slack, PagerDuty, PostHog, Vercel, Jenkins, CircleCI, Terraform Cloud, and more.
