Welcome to Alloy
Alloy is a data platform for robotics teams — managed storage for MCAP recordings, plus AI-powered mission reports, semantic search, and analysis through chat or MCP
Alloy is the data platform for robotics teams. Stream mission logs, video, and sensor traces off your fleet — drones, marine systems, AMRs, agricultural robots, anything recording MCAP or ROS bags — and turn raw recordings into a searchable, queryable record of every test, mission, and field run your robots have ever done.
Alloy comes in two products. Use one or both.
Mesh Storage
Managed storage for robotics recordings. Ingest MCAPs from the browser, your devices, or cloud storage; replay and inspect them in the dashboard; query the whole catalog from SQL or any Iceberg-compatible tool — and connect AI tools through MCP.
Three ways to ingest
Drag MCAP files into the browser, run the Docker edge image with recorder + compression + diagnostics, or point the lightweight binary at any folder of recordings.
Iceberg-native
Every file becomes a queryable Iceberg table. Read it from DuckDB, Spark, Trino, PyIceberg, or any Iceberg REST client — no copy step, no exports.
Replay + Inspect in browser
3D replay viewer, MCAP topic inspector, ROS graph, and ROS2 diagnostics — all in the dashboard, no local tooling required.
MCP for AI tools
Point Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Windsurf at your data lake. They can browse files, run SQL, fetch replay URLs, and pull mission context into your workflow.
Or read the Mesh Storage overview — what it is, how files move through it, and what each part of the page does.
Agent Platform
AI-powered analysis on top of your mission data. Auto-generated reports for every mission, semantic search across instances, recurring scenario scanners, and an Alloy AI agent in the dashboard and in Slack.
Automatic mission reports
Every uploaded mission gets an AI-generated debrief — narrative summary, key events, metrics, timeseries plots, maps, trajectory visualisations, and anomaly highlights.
Semantic instance search
Find moments across your entire mission library by what was happening — log patterns, image content, sensor signatures. Indexed across every recording.
Scenarios
Describe a pattern in plain language; Alloy scans existing missions and watches new ones for matches. Custom anomaly detectors without writing detection code.
Alloy AI in chat + Slack
Custom reports, longitudinal comparisons, deep dives — all through conversation. Same capabilities in the in-app chat panel and the Slack integration.
Recurring reports
Run a report prompt on a daily, weekly, or fortnightly schedule. Useful for fleet performance summaries, anomaly digests, or any analysis you want refreshed.
Cloud storage ingestion
S3 and GCS integrations for teams that already centralise recordings — Alloy watches a bucket and pulls new files in automatically.
Or read the Agent Platform overview — core concepts, the dashboard tour, workflows, and the integrations that connect it to your stack.
