Honeycomb's Generative AI-powered Query Assistant: Cracking the Code for Engineers

WHO Honeycomb's Query Assistant feature is intended for developers at all levels who want to ask plain English questions about their code and cloud applications.

WHAT Honeycomb's Query Assistant feature leverages generative AI to help users query their code more efficiently without requiring deep knowledge of query-based languages like SQL.

WHY By incorporating generative AI into its platform, Honeycomb aims to make observability more usable for everyone on an engineering team, regardless of their experience level or knowledge of querying languages.

AVAILABILITY Query Assistant is available to all Honeycomb users, but is currently an experimental feature that can be turned off by teams. No user data is passively sent to OpenAI, and no data is retained for training models.

CUSTOMER TRACTION The Query Assistant feature is a great first step for Honeycomb R&D to further explore how AI can be incorporated into the product to enhance the Honeycomb user experience. Honeycomb is used by customers like: HelloFresh, Stripe, Slack, Fender, Vanguard, LaunchDarkly and many more.

KEY TAKEAWAY Honeycomb's new Query Assistant feature uses generative AI to democratize observability and help engineering teams better understand their code and cloud applications in complex environments.
