The problem it solves

Your automation software releases updates constantly, and manually checking for and installing each one is a chore you keep putting off. Falling behind on updates means missing bug fixes and new features, or running an outdated version without realizing it.

Who it fits

A technical operator who self-hosts their own automation software and wants it to stay current without babysitting it.

How it works

  1. On a regular schedule, the system checks the release feed for a new version
  2. It compares the latest version against what's currently installed
  3. If a newer version is found, it runs the update command on your server
  4. Your automation software is upgraded automatically within the hour
What you get

Your automation platform staying current on its own

You get your automation platform checked and upgraded to the newest version automatically, so your server always runs the latest release without effort.

What you get

An automation server that stays on the latest version without manual checking or upgrading.

What you need

A self-hosted server running the automation software as a background service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
