Insights on B.O.R.I.S - Your AI DevOps Teammate

From Frustration to Product: The Story of B.O.R.I.S

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We’re a small team of DevOps engineers who got tired of watching AI tools fail at the one thing they should be good at - understanding the infrastructure they’re supposed to help with. So we built something different.

B.O.R.I.S is an AI DevOps teammate that actually knows your systems, remembers your environment, and works alongside your team - not in a private chat window, but right where your engineers already communicate.

The Cursor pricing wake-up call

The episode opens with a cautionary tale. The team’s annual Cursor subscription renewed and shifted from generous included request allotments toward stricter usage-based overages tied to actual API costs. Within a single week, costs hit roughly a thousand dollars — per developer. Andrey notes they are “late to the party” since monthly subscribers felt the pain back in July 2025, but annual subscribers only got hit now. Fernando stresses the importance of watching automatic recharge settings: “You might get a surprise at the end of the month — or like happened to us, after a week.”

Agentic AI News Roundup

The hosts open with several developments from the past week. First up is Anthropic’s addition of Dispatch to Cowork, which lets users assign tasks from the Claude mobile app to a desktop-backed Claude session — start a review on your commute, and have results waiting at your desk. Anthropic also launched Claude Code Channels, which connect a running Claude Code session to Telegram or Discord, letting developers interact with their agent from their phone. Fernando notes the convenience but flags the security trade-off: “As soon as you have on your phone a chat interface that can actually act on your machine… if someone gets a hold of that, your password doesn’t matter.”

From Chatbot to Agent: Defining the Shift

Fernando offers the simplest framing of agentic AI: “an agent can do something.” Unlike ChatGPT or Claude in a browser — where you type a question and get text back — an agent can take actions: run commands, modify files, call APIs, and interact with real systems. This distinction matters because it explains why many infrastructure engineers initially dismissed AI. A chatbot that generates plausible-sounding Terraform snippets without knowing what’s actually deployed is, at best, a faster Stack Overflow. The hosts argue that the transition from text-in-text-out to action-capable agents is what makes AI genuinely useful for DevOps work.
