About Company

Mendral is an AI DevOps Engineer that observes, diagnoses, acts, and learns continuously. It autonomously handles CI failures, flaky tests, slow builds, broken releases, and code reviews, improving with every build and run. Over time, Mendral evolves into a self-improving delivery system that manages performance, quality, security, and compliance, all without manual intervention.
