New Relic launches new AI agent platform and OpenTelemetry tools

New Relic launched a no-code AI agent platform designed specifically for data observability, allowing companies to deploy and manage AI agents that monitor data systems to catch bugs before they cause problems. The platform supports the model context protocol (MCP, a system that connects AI applications to external data sources) and integrates with other New Relic tools. The company also released new tools for OpenTelemetry (OTel, an open-source observability framework that helps track how software performs), allowing enterprises to manage OTel data streams alongside other data sources in a single place to reduce fragmentation problems.
