"AI-first" is easy to say and hard to prove. At OpenObserve we ship two AI features to users - O2 Assistant and the AI SRE - and run our own engineering shop the same way, with DocGen writing our docs and the Council of Agents writing and healing our end-to-end tests. This is the story of moving both out of "a human runs this locally" and into CI, where they now fire on their own: giving agents a browser, an ingestion API, and a real running instance so they can build, seed, click, and verify the tedious work instead of asking a person to grind through it.
