When should you reach for Grafana MCP? It’s one of the two “hands” in Grafana’s AI toolkit — and the easy one at that. MCP lets you bring Grafana into the tools you already use, like ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor, without changing your workflow. No terminal? MCP. Want to stick with your favorite AI tool? MCP. Want easy tool discovery out of the box? MCP. Here’s where it fits, and when to use it — explained by Nicole van der Hoeven.

Grafana Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) brings Frontend Observability and Synthetic Monitoring together, so teams can go from symptom to root cause without bouncing between tools. In this video, Bukola, Senior Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs, demos two of the newest DEM features. Session Replay and the integration between Synthetic Monitoring and Frontend Observability.

Within Grafana's AI offerings, there are three areas that can be a bit confusing. Assistant, MCP, and gcx. In this series, Nicole from the DevRel team talks about which one to use for which use case. This first video starts with Assistant.

Friday, the last day of AI Week, is all about collaboration. Here's what we're announcing today! Check out grafana.ai for more details on everything we announce this week.

Senior Developer Advocate Nicole van der Hoeven explains how we're thinking about observability and AI at Grafana Labs. She talks about how you can use AI with observability across the entire SDLC and the different tools you can use for both AI for observability and observability for AI.

Grafana AI Observability is our new database and platform for observing AI Agents. Over the past year at Grafana Labs, we built Agents and we needed a way to understand how they are performing, what are the costs associated with them, what's the error rate or time to the first token as well as how they are behaving. Grafana Staff Engineer, Ivana Hučková provides a deep dive demo on how Grafana AI Observability connects our experience building Agents with our experience building observability systems.

Senior Software Engineer William Dumont demonstrates how we test Assistant Investigations by pitting two versions of the same agent against each other to correctly identify and remediate a production incident we've already resolved.
