Seer
Sentry's AI debugging agent finds root causes in issue and trace data, along with logs and profiles. It drafts fixes or hands them to coding agents. It also reviews pull requests on GitHub.com and GitLab.com.
The 30-Second Take
Add Seer if Sentry already holds your production telemetry and diagnosis is what slows your fixes.
Sentry's AI debugging agent finds a root cause from an issue's stack trace, traces, logs and linked GitHub or GitLab code. It then drafts a fix, opens a pull request or hands the plan to a Claude, Cursor or Copilot agent.
- Best fit
- Teams with code on GitHub.com or GitLab.com whose error backlog outgrows the engineers who triage it; Seer needs a paid Sentry plan.
- Main constraint
- US$40 per active contributor per month on top of the Sentry plan, and no support for Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, self-hosted Git, or self-hosted Sentry.
- First move
- Trial Seer on one project with automation stopped after root cause analysis. Count the diagnoses engineers accept.
Why
Watch the bill: US$40 per active contributor a month on top of the Sentry plan, counting anyone who opens two or more pull requests a month in a Seer-enabled repository. Teams had merged under half of the public pull requests Seer opened by October 2026.

Comparisons
How does Seer compare with the alternatives?
Seer vs Claude Code
- AI Debugging
Use Seer to diagnose from production telemetry and Claude Code to implement and test the fix. Seer can run before anyone asks and hand its root cause to a Claude agent. Claude Code sees production through the tools you connect, such as Sentry's MCP server.
Seer vs CodeRabbit
- AI Code Review
Choose Seer's review if your team already debugs production with Seer on GitHub.com or GitLab.com, since it comes inside the same per-contributor price as Autofix. Choose CodeRabbit for every major Git platform and reviews in the IDE and CLI.

What are engineering leaders learning from deploying Seer?

Security research on agyn's own accounts. Seer with automatic coding-agent handoff. CVE-2026-90999.
agyn blog, published Read the write-up (opens agyn blog in a new tab)
Observation
agyn showed that a made-up error sent to a public DSN can steer Seer's automatic handoff into running attacker code.
- Takeaway
- For projects with a public DSN, require a person to start each coding-agent handoff. Give the agent only the repository access it needs.
- What happened
- Anyone can send an error event to a frontend project's public DSN. agyn researchers sent a fabricated report that Seer rated fixable from issue data alone. Seer handed it to a coding agent, which fetched and ran attacker-controlled code with access to connected repositories. The same manipulation worked on every leading model the researchers tried. The researchers disclosed it to Sentry, and CERT/CC tracks it as VU#212479. The post suggests pausing automatic handoff until teams have reviewed it or a fix is available.

Positive, mixed and negative sources
The score counts them as 9 positive, 13 mixed and 6 negative votes, one per author.
29 team sources give an opinion: 10 positive, 13 mixed and 6 negative, and most of the mixed ones are bug reports from teams still using Seer. Code review divides between real catches and rejected or blocked reviews. Of the 6 discussing wrong findings, 5 raise them. All 6 discussing platform and setup limits report problems. Teams split on autonomous fixes.

Where It Fits
Where does Seer belong in the stack?

- Primary role
- AI Debugging Agent for Production Errors
Plan
Work planning: Touches
Work planning, touches. Seer Agent prioritizes open issues and archives stale ones. The issue tracker remains the planning record.
Build
Codebase context: Supports
Codebase context, supports. Seer reads repositories connected to each Sentry project, including distributed services across repositories. It parses rules files for Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and Claude Code.
Coding: Supports
Coding, supports. Autofix generates fixes and opens GitHub or GitLab pull requests for issues Sentry captures. Coding agents handle feature work.
Agent runtime: Touches
Agent runtime, touches. Seer runs in the Sentry UI and Slack. Other agents access it from editors and terminals through Sentry's MCP server and CLI.
Tool execution: Supports
Tool execution, supports. Seer hands its root cause and plan to Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot cloud agents. Seer Agent uses connectors to read Datadog and Google Cloud data.
Validate
Debugging: Core
Debugging, core. Seer diagnoses root causes on demand or automatically. It follows an issue's stack trace and telemetry into the responsible code, using traces, logs, and profiles.
Testing: Supports
Testing, supports. On GitHub, Seer pushes follow-up commits for failing CI and adds regression tests when asked. Your team owns the test suite.
Code review: Supports
Code review, supports. Code Review predicts errors in ready-for-review pull requests on GitHub.com and GitLab.com. It reports a GitHub status check and works alongside human or dedicated tool reviews.
Application security: Touches
Application security, touches. Seer is not a security scanner, and its automatic handoff to coding agents is the subject of CVE-2026-90999, so security teams review its settings without relying on it.
Ship
Source control: Touches
Source control, touches. Seer opens branches and pull requests through GitHub and GitLab integrations. The Git platform holds the authoritative record.
CI/CD: Touches
CI/CD, touches. Seer reads CI failures on its pull requests. Your CI system builds and tests the software and handles deployment.
Operate
Observability: Core
Observability, core. Seer uses Sentry's error and trace data, along with logs and profiles. Teams steer Seer Agent's incident investigations in Slack.
