Agent Rewind For When AI Agents Go Awry

0
Following the close of Rubrik’s acquisition of Predibase, an Agent Rewind will enable organisations to undo mistakes made by agentic AI by providing visibility into agents’ actions and enabling enterprises to rewind those changes to applications and data.

“As AI agents gain autonomy and optimise for outcomes, unintended errors can lead to business downtime,” said Anneka Gupta (pictured), Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. “Agent Rewind integrates Predibase’s advanced AI infrastructure with Rubrik’s recovery capabilities to enable enterprises to embrace agentic AI confidently. Today’s organisations will now have a clear process to trace, audit, and safely rewind undesired AI actions.”

AI agents possess significant potential, yet, like humans, they are prone to mistakes that result in unintended business disruption. Recent incidents of AI agent errors highlight a spectrum of situations ranging from technical malfunctions and legal issues to even the deletion of entire production databases. A recent study found that AI agents are frequently becoming disoriented, choosing incorrect shortcuts, and struggling to complete even simple multi-step tasks, revealing critical flaws that undermine their reliability and effectiveness.

Agent Rewind makes previously opaque AI actions visible, auditable, and reversible, creating an audit trail and immutable snapshots that facilitate safe rollback. Current observability tools only show what happened, but not why or how to reverse high-risk actions.

When AI goes awry, Agent Rewind offers:

  • Context-Enriched Visibility: Surfaces agent behaviour, tool use, and impact while contextualising each action, mapping it back to its root cause – from prompts to plans to tools – to enable precise recovery when something goes wrong.
  • Safe Rollback: Uses Rubrik Security Cloud to rewind what changed, whether that’s files, databases, configurations, or repositories.
  • Broad Compatibility: Will integrate seamlessly with a wide range of platforms, APIs, and agent builders, including Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot Studio, and Amazon Bedrock Agents, and will be compatible with any custom AI agent.
