## New features

### Give AI agents access to Datadog context with our MCP Server

The [Datadog MCP Server](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/datadog-mcp-server-use-cases.md) gives AI agents real-time, secure access to Datadog’s telemetry, monitors, dashboards, and more. It maps prompts to the right data sources automatically, so agents respond with accurate, relevant context.

### See how product changes affect the user journey with Datadog Experiments

[Datadog Experiments](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/experiments.md) lets you design, launch, and analyze how specific changes affect the user journey, so you can measure impact without needing separate analytics and monitoring tools.

### Automate Cloud SIEM investigations with Bits AI Security Analyst

[Bits AI Security Analyst](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/bits-ai-security-analyst.md) autonomously triages Cloud SIEM signals, investigates potential threats, and delivers actionable recommendations without human prompting.

### Remediate vulnerabilities with Bits AI Dev Agent for Code Security

[Bits AI Dev Agent for Code Security](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/bitsai-dev-agent-code-security.md) helps you remediate codebase vulnerabilities by auto-generating fixes, which you can refine and submit as pull requests directly in GitHub.

### Explore Datadog with natural language by using Bits Assistant

[Bits Assistant](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/introducing-bits-assistant.md) lets you use natural language to search, visualize, and take action across Datadog without switching tools or losing context.
