What can an AI agent do with DigitalOcean?

A DigitalOcean AI agent can list and inspect your droplets, databases, and domains, generate infrastructure reports, flag idle or oversized resources, and provision or resize droplets on demand. Scheduled tasks can run regular health checks across your entire account. Write actions like creating or resizing droplets require your approval.

Can my agent make changes to my infrastructure automatically?

Write actions - such as creating or resizing droplets - are always gated behind your approval. Read-only actions like listing or inspecting resources run without interruption.

How is this different from the DigitalOcean control panel?

The control panel is a dashboard you check manually. An AI agent works proactively: it monitors resources on a schedule, surfaces anomalies, generates reports, and can take action across multiple resources in a single run - without you logging in.

Can my agent alert me when something goes wrong?

Yes. Combine the DigitalOcean integration with Slack or email so your agent can post alerts when a droplet goes offline, a database cluster degrades, or resource usage spikes past a threshold you define.
