We are excited to share that Virtue AI has been named a Sample Vendor in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Site Reliability Engineering, 2026, in the Guardian Agent category.

‍

This is our third recognition in Gartner research in three months. In February, we were named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for Guardian Agents (February 2026). In April, we were recognized as a Sample Vendor in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Agentic AI (April 2026). Now this.

‍

Each report is tracking the same core problem from a different angle: as agentic systems scale, human oversight alone cannot keep pace. Organizations need AI-native controls that can discover, monitor, and govern AI agents end-to-end. At Virtue AI, this is exactly what we are building.

‍

Thank you to our customers and the entire Virtue AI team. We are proud of this recognition and motivated by the work still ahead.
