Understudy
Built at The Recursive Agents Hackathon · Oct 17, 2026 · San Francisco, CA

Understudy is an autonomous on-call team for an AI inference factory fleet. When a node in the fleet breaks (wrong model ID, a port squatter, a crashed worker, a config syntax error, a full disk, a bad API key, starved tokens, and other fault classes), a team of agents built on NVIDIA Nemotron takes it from start to finish. Understudy addresses the problem of on-call for inference infrastructure being expensive, repetitive and wakes humans up for issues that have been solved before.
