Meet @groundcover: put Agent Mode to work where your team already works
Blog post from Groundcover
groundcover has introduced first-class OAuth connectors for Slack, Linear, Notion, Cursor Cloud Agents, and Pylon, enabling its observability agent to combine telemetry with organizational context such as service ownership, internal documentation, prior decisions, and incident discussions. Administrators can make connectors available organization-wide while controlling individual actions through permissions, approval gates, and blocks, particularly for write operations such as creating tickets. In Slack, users can ask the agent to investigate alerts, retrieve logs, traces, RUM sessions, and metrics, create visualizations or dashboards, and coordinate findings directly in incident threads; it can then draft Linear tickets containing root-cause analysis, evidence, proposed code changes, and follow-up actions. The post presents an example in which the agent identified a checkout outage caused by an active outage-simulation flag in a payments service, traced its cascading effects, and created a detailed ticket after explicit approval. It also describes reusable “skills” that automate end-to-end incident workflows across monitoring, Slack, GitHub, and Linear while retaining shared agent memory across the groundcover interface and Slack, positioning the integrations as a way to improve observability and complement rather than replace coding agents.
