Introducing Six Degree: Your AI Can Finally Understand Your Systems

Today, we are excited to officially launch Six Degree, the unified system intelligence platform that bridges the gap between your complex engineering environments and modern AI tools.

The name "Six Degree" draws inspiration from the famous "six degrees of separation" theory, which suggests that any two people on Earth are connected through no more than six interpersonal links. In the intricate world of modern engineering systems, a similar principle applies: every component, service, decision, and team member is interconnected through a web of relationships. Yet these connections are often hidden, fragmented across tools, and difficult to navigate.

Engineering teams today face a growing challenge: AI models are powerful, but they cannot truly understand your infrastructure, services, and tools without fragmented context scattered across GitHub, Jira, Slack, Kubernetes, and dozens of other systems. Until now.

Six Degree changes that by building a live ontology of your entire system, mapping relationships between infrastructure, services, teams, and knowledge in real time.

What is Six Degree?

An ontology is essentially a map of how everything in your business relates to everything else. It is unique to every organization, shaped by your specific tools, processes, and history. This uniqueness is what makes your systems truly yours, but it is also the key that unlocks deep understanding. Six Degree creates and maintains this custom ontology automatically, turning scattered data into a coherent, interconnected view.

Six Degree is the intelligence layer that makes your systems comprehensible to both humans and AI:

  • Unified Search: Query across all your tools (GitHub, Jira, Slack, production metrics, and more) from a single interface. No more context switching.
  • Dependency Intelligence: Instantly understand service dependencies, blast radius, ownership, and risks before making changes.
  • Accelerated Onboarding: Cut new engineer ramp time from weeks to days with immediate access to system context and tribal knowledge.
  • Living Documentation: Always-up-to-date docs that automatically reflect your actual infrastructure state.
  • Institutional Knowledge Capture: Surface critical decisions from Slack threads, design docs, and tickets, linked directly to the relevant systems.

Powered by enterprise-grade integrations (GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Vercel, Kubernetes, Slack, Grafana, ArgoCD, PagerDuty, FOSSA, and dozens more), Six Degree is LLM-agnostic. It works seamlessly with OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok by xAI, Ollama, or your self-hosted models. Your data stays secure within your infrastructure.

Why Now?

As engineering teams scale and systems grow more complex, knowledge silos slow velocity, increase incidents, and hinder AI adoption. Traditional tools provide static views or siloed data. Six Degree delivers a dynamic, interconnected understanding, much like revealing the hidden "degrees" that link everything in your ecosystem. This accelerates development, reduces MTTR, and enables true AI-powered engineering.
