Your error monitoring tool found a bug. Now what?
For most teams, the answer is the same thing it has been for years: copy the stack trace, find the file, read the code, build a mental model of what went wrong, write the fix, write or update a test, push, and wait for CI. That process hasnāt changed much since error tracking became a category. The tools got better at telling you something broke. They never got better at fixing it.
Rollbar Resolve changes that. Starting today, Resolve doesnāt just tell you what went wrong or why. It reads your codebase, writes a fix, runs your tests in an isolated environment, and opens a pull request with verified changes. You review it like any other PR from a teammate. If the tests pass, merge it and move on.
TL;DR
- Rollbar Resolve is a verified fix agent for production errors. It reads your code, identifies the root cause, writes a fix, and runs your tests before opening a PR.
- Fixes are validated in ephemeral dev environments. You get PRs that already pass your test suite, not theoretical patches.
- No per-seat add-on. Resolve uses the same AI credit system already included in Essentials and Advanced plans.
- This completes Rollbarās error lifecycle: detect with Session Replay, diagnose with AI Root Cause Analysis, fix with Resolve. No other error monitoring platform offers all three in one product.
What Resolve actually does
When a production error hits Rollbar, Resolve can pick it up automatically or on your signal. Here is the sequence:
- Reads the error in context. The agent starts with everything Rollbar already knows: the stack trace, the error grouping, the telemetry timeline, the Session Replay if one exists, and the AI Root Cause Analysis. It has the full picture before it touches your code.
- Reviews your codebase. The agent connects to your repository through your existing GitHub integration and traces the error back through your source. It identifies the specific code path responsible, not just the frame that threw.
- Writes a targeted fix. Based on the root cause analysis and your actual code, the agent generates a code change designed to resolve the issue.
- Runs your tests. This is the part that matters most. The agent applies the change in an ephemeral dev environment and runs your test suite against it. The fix is validated before you ever see it.
- Opens a pull request. If the tests pass, the agent opens a PR with the fix, the test results, and the context from the root cause analysis. You review it the way you review any PR. Your working branches are never touched.
And coming soon, the agent learns from your feedback with every merge. Accept a fix, and it gets better at understanding your codebase and coding patterns. Reject one, and it adjusts.
The difference between a suggestion and a verified fix
This is where the line gets drawn between what Rollbar does and what other tools in this space offer.
Sentryās Seer can analyze an issue, identify a probable root cause, and generate a code change. It can open a PR. But the fix it produces is a draft that still needs you to verify whether it actually works. Seerās documentation describes the flow as root cause analysis, solution identification, and code generation. The verification step is yours.
Rollbar Resolve adds the step Seer skips. It applies the change in an isolated environment, runs your tests against it, and only opens the PR after validation passes. The difference is the gap between āhereās a patch that might workā and āhereās a patch that passes your test suite.ā
For a team triaging production errors at 2 AM, that gap is the difference between trusting an automated fix and spending another hour verifying one manually.
No per-seat AI pricing
Sentry charges $40 per active contributor per month for Seer access. An active contributor is anyone who makes two or more pull requests to a Seer-connected repository in a billing cycle. For a 15-person engineering team, that is $600/month on top of your Sentry subscription, before you account for error volume, replay overages, or any other metered cost.
Resolve uses the same AI credit system that powers Root Cause Analysis. Credits start at 15,000 for $5. You can add more credits or set an on-demand budget if you need to, but there is no per-seat charge. The cost scales with how much you use the feature, not with how many people are on your team.
If you are already using Rollbarās AI Root Cause Analysis, you already have access. No plan change, no new billing line item. Itās even available with free Occurrences and Replay plans.
The error lifecycle, closed
This launch is part of a bigger shift in what Rollbar does. Over the past year, three capabilities have come together into a single workflow that no other error monitoring tool offers end to end:
Detect: Session Replay. When a user hits a bug, Session Replay captures the clicks, scrolls, navigation, and DOM state leading up to the error. You see what the user saw, right next to the stack trace. Session Replay is included in every Rollbar plan at no extra cost.
Diagnose: AI Root Cause Analysis. Rollbarās AI analyzes the error in the context of your codebase, tracing through the stack to identify the actual root cause, not just the frame that broke. It connects front-end and back-end errors so you are not investigating them in isolation.
Fix: Resolve. The agent takes the diagnosis, writes a verified fix, validates it against your tests, and opens a PR. The loop closes without you needing to context-switch from your current work.
Each of these works on its own. Together, they turn an error from a notification into a resolved PR. The entire path from āa user hit a bugā to āhere is a tested fix ready for reviewā can happen without a developer manually investigating, reproducing, or writing the patch.
That is what ādetect, diagnose, fixā means in practice. It is not a tagline. It is the workflow.
How to try it
If you are on an Essentials or Advanced plan, Resolve is available now in your Rollbar account. Connect your GitHub repository, configure which errors Resolve should handle, and set your credit budget.
If you are on the free plan, you can try Root Cause Analysis by purchasing an AI credit subscription without changing plans. Resolve is available on Essentials and above.

FAQ
Does Resolve work with any programming language?
Resolve works with any language supported by Rollbarās SDKs and your existing test suite. It reads your codebase through your GitHub integration, writes fixes in the language your project uses, and runs whatever tests you have configured. Language coverage follows your test infrastructure, not a separate compatibility matrix.
What happens if Resolveās fix fails the tests?
If the test suite does not pass, the agent does not open a PR. You will see the attempted fix and the test results in your Rollbar dashboard so you can use the root cause analysis and the agentās work as a starting point for a manual fix. No broken code reaches your repository.
