💻 I just replaced a $100K/year DevOps engineer with AI.
Okay, not entirely. But hear me out:
We have a lot of AI tools for code generation and AI is definitely getting better and better. But what about Infrastructure by AI?
👉 Just tell AI to spin up a VM and there we go! Sounds interesting right?

And that's where I started building InfraPilot.
Where we can go 'Infrastructure as Conversation (IaC)' instead of 'Infrastructure as Code (IaC)'
Think Cursor for Infrastructure.
🤔 What InfraPilot actually does:
- Just put a prompt on what infra you want to create and deploy
- It creates a Terraform file (IaC code), explanation and a complete architecture diagram
- You can iterate over chats if you want modifications unless you are satisfied
- Once satisfied, you can click on Deploy which will automatically Deploy the complete architecture for you.
It works for ALLL the Cloud providers (LITERALLY! Even multi cloud). The whole process automated. Just say it and your infra is provisioned and this is just the beginning-

🛠️ What's next?
→ What about editable infrastructure diagrams (think Figma + InfraPilot)
→ Or it understands your existing codebase (InfraPilot + Github)
→ Or a direct IDE integration (InfraPilot + Cursor)
→ Built-in monitoring integration (InfraPilot + Monitoring)

Here's the uncomfortable truth:
A lot of infrastructure work is the same patterns over and over. There's some predefined boiler code for setting up VPCs + subnets, Serverless, RDS with backup etc. So why not speed this up?
SO, will this replace DevOps engineers?
NO (Sorry I needed a strong hook +_+).
But it will definitely need fewer people and way less time.

We’ve seen AI assistants like ChatGPT revolutionize how we think, write, and code through conversation. But most of them stop at suggestion.
That’s now changing.
Tools like Cursor are blurring the line between IDE and AI, not just writing code, but modifying real projects and triggering workflows.
AI is moving from assistant → agent. (has already by a LOTT)
👉 So here’s the natural next step:
If AI can help write code, why can't it provision infrastructure?
On that regard, I would love to hear out thoughts from the professionals working in this field in the comments. This is just an initial project concept I worked on.
💭 What problems do you face daily that AI could help with?
