The real cost

Engineering backlogs are dominated by maintenance work.

Runtime upgrades, dependency patches, infrastructure modernization, security fixes. The backlog keeps growing and your best engineers spend their time keeping the lights on instead of building new products.

The gap

AI agents wait for you to tell them what to do.

Today's AI tools are reactive. They write code when prompted. But nobody is telling your team that a Python 3.8 runtime needs upgrading, a deprecated dependency is a security risk, or infrastructure is two generations behind. That gap between knowing and doing is where Kanu lives.

Proactive beats reactive.

The dashboard

Your complete cloud backlog.

Kanu continuously scans your cloud for maintenance work, modernization opportunities, and optimizations. It connects to your project management tools to pull in existing tasks, assess their impact, and prioritize everything in one place.

Meet Kanu

From detection to delivery, fully automated.

Kanu doesn't wait for instructions. It identifies what your cloud needs, builds a plan, and executes with your team in control at every step.

01

Connect your cloud and tools

Connect Kanu to your cloud accounts, git repositories, and project management tools. Kanu maps your existing infrastructure, services, and dependencies to understand what you are running.

02

Scan and surface

Kanu continuously analyzes your cloud for runtime upgrades, deprecated dependencies, security patches, and optimization opportunities. Items are surfaced automatically in your dashboard.

03

Prioritize by impact

Tasks from Kanu and your PM tools like Jira, Linear, and Asana are unified, scored by impact, and ranked. Your team sees everything in one prioritized view.

04

Build a project plan

Select a task and Kanu builds a detailed project plan covering scope, affected services, and rollback strategy. Plans are presented for your engineer to review before any work begins.

05

Engineer approves

Your engineer reviews the plan, adjusts scope if needed, and approves execution. Nothing happens without explicit sign-off.

06

Execute with checkpoints

Kanu implements the changes across code, infrastructure, tests, and deployment with human checkpoints at every critical stage. Your team can review code, adjust direction, or pause at any time.

Deliver

Changes are validated against your live environment, a pull request is opened for final review, and the task is marked complete in your dashboard and PM tools.

Your control

Human-in-the-loop at every critical stage.

Set the level of control you want. From fully supervised to increasingly autonomous as trust builds.

01

Planning

Review the project plan before any work starts. Adjust scope, add constraints, or redirect priorities. Nothing executes without your approval.
