# From Firefighting to Force Multiplication with AI


- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

Engineers are drowning in alert fatigue, repetitive toil, and late-night pages. But what if you could flip the script using AI? In this talk, we explore how a solo engineer empowered their practice by building an AI-driven ChatOps bot and anomaly detector—automating the triage of alerts, generating root-cause hints, and triggering runbooks autonomously
