## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2023 by co-founders Shahram Anver and Willem Pienaar, Agentik, Inc., doing business as Cleric, operates as a developer of an artificial intelligence-based infrastructure management platform that allows users to react to, interpret, and apply fixes for production problems. It makes use of a reasoning engine based on LLM. In December 2025, Cleric raised USD 5.5 million in seed funding led by Vertex Ventures, with participation from Zetta Venture Partners. The round was part of a larger USD 9.8 million seed funding.

Cleric developed autonomously navigating intricate infrastructure and observability systems to swiftly identify and resolve issues. It integrates diverse data sources, including code, documentation, and logs, to provide actionable insights with supporting evidence, reducing downtime and operational burden. The company’s artificial intelligence-based site reliability engineer (SRE) offers on-call support to engineers and offers suggestions without applying changes. 

The company intends to use the December 2025 funding to enhance its AI-driven SRE platform and expand capabilities that reduce operational impact and improve engineering efficiency.
