Rubrik, Inc. (NYSE: RBRK), a company specializing in security and artificial intelligence solutions, has announced the launch of Agent Rewind, a tool designed to rollback errors made by AI agents. The innovation comes immediately after Rubrik acquired Predibase, whose advanced AI infrastructure now powers this new solution.
The goal is clear: provide companies with visibility into AI agent actions, understand their origins, and enable safe rollback to undo unwanted changes in applications and data.
The hidden side of autonomous AI: the “non-human error”
As AI agents gain autonomy, optimize processes, and make decisions on their own, the risk of impactful errors increases. According to Johnny Yu, an IDC analyst, many companies overlook that AI agents “can and will make mistakes,” introducing what he calls “non-human error.”
Such failures, which can sometimes be comparable to critical human errors, include accidental deletion of production databases, incorrect technical decisions leading to service interruptions, or even legal problems. A recent study cited by Rubrik shows that AI agents tend to become disoriented, choose incorrect shortcuts, and fail in multi-step tasks, raising doubts about their reliability in production environments.
How Agent Rewind works
Rubrik’s approach is built on three key pillars:
Enriched Context Visibility
Agent Rewind exposes the agent’s behavior, tool usage, and impact, mapping each action to its root cause—from the initial prompt to execution—allowing understanding of what failed and why.Secure Reversal
Using Rubrik Security Cloud, the tool can “rewind” applied changes, whether they involve files, databases, configurations, or code repositories.Broad Compatibility
Agent Rewind will integrate with multiple platforms, APIs, and agent development environments, including Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot Studio, and Amazon Bedrock Agents, as well as custom agents.
From observability to remediation
For Anneka Gupta, Rubrik’s product director, the significant advancement of Agent Rewind is that it not only tracks what happened but also understands it and safely undoes it:
“We want companies to adopt autonomous AI with confidence, knowing there’s a clear mechanism to trace, audit, and reverse undesired actions.”
This vision is shared by Chad Pallett, CISO of BioIVT, who believes the market “needs observability and secure rollback”. He states that the combination of Rubrik and Predibase provides not only security and speed but also “AI recoverability,” which he describes as “the solution I’ve been waiting for.”
A new standard of resilience for the AI era
Until now, observability tools only displayed what occurred without providing means to undo risky actions. With Agent Rewind, Rubrik aims to close this gap: what happened, why it happened, and how to revert it.
This launch reinforces the company’s strategy to position itself at the intersection of data protection, cyber-resilience, and enterprise AI acceleration. This approach already included its Rubrik Security Cloud platform and is now expanded with Predibase’s technology, which specializes in enhancing security and deployment of generative and autonomous AI applications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is autonomous AI and why does it need solutions like Agent Rewind?
Autonomous AI systems act with a certain degree of independence to achieve objectives. Their decision-making ability can lead to critical errors that require traceability and rollback.
2. How does Agent Rewind differ from other observability tools?
Unlike systems that only log events, Agent Rewind adds context, identifies root causes, and enables change reversal, reducing error impact.
3. What platforms will it be compatible with?
It will integrate with solutions like Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Amazon Bedrock Agents, and customized environments.
4. What does Predibase’s acquisition bring to Rubrik?
Predibase adds advanced AI infrastructure for generative and autonomous applications, enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and remediation capabilities within Rubrik’s platform.
