Overview
groundcover is a BYOC (bring-your-own-cloud), eBPF and OpenTelemetry-native observability platform. Its Agent Mode provides telemetry-aware AI agents for incident investigation, root-cause analysis, and — as of June 2026 — cross-toolchain actions via MCP Connectors.

Contradiction
Customer count: Series C coverage cites 250+ customers (2026-07-30-groundcover-100m-series-c); older Agent Mode notes say free to 200+ deployed customers (2026-06-29-groundcover-agent-mode-toolchain-expansion). Prefer the Jul 2026 Series C figure; treat 200+ as prior snapshot.
